'It's not what is under the tree that matters, it's who's gathered around it.' 🎄✨💙 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm gonna be real, I am one of those people who starts getting ready for Christmas November 1st. I know some people hate it but, honestly, it makes me happy--so I do it! Plus, it gives me a long time to plan and prepare. Thus, bringing my stress level down. December is my Birthday month, so I am super excited. We started wrapping presents (totally forgot bows, oops), the tree is trimmed, advent calendars started and our elves are back! Can you spot them? Oh, and we have our Michigan mitten up on our tree. I wonder if you can see it? 🤔 When do you start Christmas prep? #Christmas2019 . . . . #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #omaginsiders #pursuewhatislovely #loveandmarriage #littlefamiliesofig #lifecolorfully #nothingisordinary #farmhousestyledecor #farmhouseinspired #farmhouselivingroom #inspiremyinstagram #inbeautyandchaos #momentsofmine #farmhousechristmas #farmhousehome #christmas🎄 #christmasgiftideas #christmastime #momentsweadore #littlebellows #livesimply #celebrate_childhood #burlapdecor #let_there_be_delight #enchantedchildhood #liveinthemoment #whispersinspire

We realized one thing whilst browsing at the Detroit markets. After all of these years, traveling to various places, and collecting ornaments along the way--we have never got one for Michigan. Detroit and Michigan are forever engrained in us. From growing up and spending weekends there as a kid with my parents to making memories with my own kids. We picked up this gorgeous cutout Michigan state shaped ornament from @Zootility. Made in the US and of birchwood. One of many great finds! 😜✨ #Christmas2019 . . . . #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #omaginsiders #pursuewhatislovely #loveandmarriage #marriedlife #littlefamiliesofig #lifecolorfully #nothingisordinary #inspiremyinstagram #inbeautyandchaos #momentsofmine #detroitchristmasmarkets #detroitish #detroitmarkets #cadillaclodge #cadillaclodgedetroit #downtowndetroit #christmasindetroit #whispersinspire #christmass #christmasgiftideas #christmastime #itsgotimedetroit #visitdetroit #detroitlookslikethis #depictthed #letswinter @cadillaclodge @visitdetroit

'Christmas isn't a season, it's a feeling.' 🎄✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Had another amazing date with Darasak at the Downtown Detroit Christmas Markets. With the chill in the air, the beautiful Christmas decorations, the excited chatter of other shoppers, and the nostalgic carols in the air--it's safe to say we are in the spirit! After browsing all the stores, we warmed up in the Cadillac Lodge. It was a full house but, man, what a great day! #Christmas2019 . . . . #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #omaginsiders #pursuewhatislovely #loveandmarriage #marriedlife #littlefamiliesofig #lifecolorfully #nothingisordinary #inspiremyinstagram #inbeautyandchaos #momentsofmine #detroitchristmasmarkets #detroitish #detroitmarkets #cadillaclodge #cadillaclodgedetroit #downtowndetroit #christmasindetroit #christmas🎄 #christmass #christmasgiftideas #christmastime #itsgotimedetroit #visitdetroit #detroitlookslikethis #depictthed #letswinter @cadillaclodge @visitdetroit

'I'll have the tuna, no crust.' 😜⁠ ⁠ I can't even tell you how much fun we had during our 'Supercar Test Drive' with Breakaway Experiences. Feeling a bit like the great late Paul Walker. With the holidays fast approaching, now is a perfect time to start thinking about what to get that person who has everything. I love gifting experiences simply because, in life, I rather focus on experiences rather than things. Check out the LINK in BIO to see our supercar experience. Then click home and check out our Holiday Gift Guide. After that, keep an eye on my stories next week to see when my Breakaway Experiences $100 Gift Certificate giveaway will drop! For now, I'll daydream about driving this Lambo! Have you ever gifted or been gifted an experience? What did you do?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ . ⁠ #thesearethedays #myunicornlife #oureverdaymoments #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #lifecolorfully #nothingisordinary #inspiremyinstagram #inbeautyandchaos #momentsofmine #carlifestyle #lambo #lamborghini_daily #lamborghinihuracan #huracan #supercars #carlifestyle #carswithoutlimits #carspotting #whispersinspire #hamilton #hamiltonon #steeringwheel #mclaren #carsofig #experiencesoverthings #whitelambo #breakawayexperiences #supercarlovers

'You are my today and all of my tomorrows.' 💙⁠ ⁠ Fair warning, this gets all kinds of sappy. If you know me, you know this is just me being me. Hugs all around!⁠ ⁠ So, this man right here turned 35 last month. I often joke I robbed the cradle because I am older but, for 3 whole months, we are the same age.😂 ⁠ ⁠ We were only kids when we first met. Both of us with so many goals but with no idea what we were doing.⁠ ⁠ Alas, we figured it out together and we always do.⁠ ⁠ With each passing year, it only gets better and I want to thank you for being an amazing best friend and father. Being my rock and supporting me through all of my aspirations. No matter how crazy. ⁠ ⁠ For loving me for me. ⁠ ⁠ So, Happy waaay Belated Birthday @dchanz17! Now it's IG official.⁠ ⁠ I love you forever and always. ⁠ ⁠ If you've read this far, thanks! I told you guys I am a hopeless romantic. 😘 This weekend, we are going on a date and I can't wait! What are you up to this weekend?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #livesimply #pursuewhatislovely #detroitskyline #detroit #windsoron #instaxsq6 #yqg #kindredmemories #husband #husbandandwife #love #loveandmarriage #marriedlife #detroitriver #marriage #parentinglife #dailyparenting #littlefamiliesofig #lifecolorfully #nothingisordinary #thatsdarling #darlingweekend #inspiremyinstagram #inbeautyandchaos #momentsofmine #georgia #husbandbirthday

'Vroom. Vroom.' ✨⁠ ⁠ A couple weeks ago, we drove to Hamilton under the premise of taking a road trip to see the changing fall foliage. We'd end up in Toronto and then make our way back. While that was all in the plans, I surprised @dchanz17 by letting him choose from a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, Ferrari 458, McLaren 650S, Nissan GTR, Acura NSX, or a Porsche 911 GT3 RS to drive for his 35th birthday. ⁠ ⁠ I got the tickets from Breakaway Experiences and called them up and booked 2 cars. It's just you and the winding and scenic roads that overlook Lake Ontario. With minimum traffic and 0 traffic lights, you really get to enjoy the ride.⁠ ⁠ We brought the kids along for a small fee and they absolutely loved it. It was a win-win because I got to drive this Lambo. 😜⁠ ⁠ Most of us will never own vehicles like this but, no one says you can't gift these types of experiences to the car lover in your life. Let's just say, he is still talking about it today and he absolutely loved his Birthday gift. It doesn't get any better than that. Have you ever driven an exotic car?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #thesearethedays #myunicornlife #oureverdaymoments #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #lifecolorfully #nothingisordinary #inspiremyinstagram #inbeautyandchaos #momentsofmine #carlifestyle #lambo #lamborghini_daily #lamborghinihuracan #huracan #supercars #carlifestyle #carswithoutlimits #carspotting #whispersinspire #hamilton #hamiltonon #adidas #adidasclassics #carsofig #experiencesoverthings #whitelambo #breakawayexperiences #supercarlovers

'All you need is love, WIFI, & a good credit card.' 💙📶💳⁠ ⁠ Especially when that card works for YOU. As an adult, I have always been conscientious when it comes to credit cards. The reality is that they are essential.⁠ ⁠ Specifically, if you love to travel like us.⁠ ⁠ If you haven't read my post about 'Ways to Save Money as New Homeowners,' (you totally should 😊) you'll see that this is one of my tips. ⁠ ⁠ Luckily, Costco offers a @capitaloneca Mastercard. There is no annual fee, so you don't have to pay to use it!⁠ ⁠ PERKS:⁠ ⁠ ◼ It doubles as a Costo Canada membership. 2 in 1.⁠ ◼ You can earn cashback ANYWHERE. Not just Costco.⁠ ◼ You earn back 3% on restaurant purchases, 2% on gas purchases, 0.5% on the first $3,000 you spend annually on all other purchases, and 1% after that.⁠ ◼ You're always covered with their protection services, warranty and more.⁠ ◼ Travel perks like car rental insurance, travel accident insurance, baggage delay & travel assistance.⁠ From experience, I always say to have an emergency fund. ⁠ ⁠ Especially if you are a new homeowner. Money may be tight since you just invested a lot in a new home. ⁠ ⁠ A card with cashback can help you save towards that. If you're all good on that front, you can use that extra cashback from your everyday purchases for travel. ⁠ ⁠ Because, why not?⁠ ⁠ I think you'll always be in between saving and spending on the things that make you happy. ⁠ ⁠ Make sure you head to Costco or go Costco.ca to apply to get one. Let it work for you! What would you do with the cashback? #ad #CapitalOneCA⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #CostcoCanada #CostcoMember #CostcoFinds #thesearethedays #oureverdaymoments #truemotherhood #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #motherhoodunplugged #mytinymoments #nothingisordinary #momentsofmine #happylife #creativehappylife #creativityfound #dontquityourdaydream #liveauthentic#liveintentional #livefullyalive #shoppingislife #newhomeownertips #homeownertips #hometips #cashback #costcodeals #costcowholesale #smartshoppers #livetotravel⁠

'It's shop-o-clock somewhere!' 🛒✨⁠ ⁠ Having girls, one of our favourite things to do is go shopping. While we want to buy all the things, I've always taught them to shop smart. It's actually one of my biggest pieces of advice I can give to them and to anyone. ⁠ ⁠ Click the LINK in BIO for ways to save money if you're a new homeowner. (You'll find shopping smart is one way! 😜) I'll also be sharing how @capitaloneca makes it even easier to shop smart by getting cash back!⁠ ⁠ Making wise shopping choices can be easy. It just takes a little planning and researching. You can clip coupons or you can buy in bulk. I prefer the latter. That's why I love my Costco membership, it pays for itself over the long run.⁠ ⁠ They have a variety of merchandise from home furniture, outdoor living, appliances and more. Plus, you can get all the essentials like cleaning products, kitchen supplies, and food. ⁠ ⁠ You can find some amazing throw blankets, pyjamas, and let's not forget those delicious rotisserie chickens and so much more.⁠ ⁠ Plus, they offer business services for small business owners, a pharmacy, installation services, and an optical department. All under one roof. Do you shop at Costco? #ad⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #CapitalOneCA #CostcoCanada #CostcoMember #CostcoFinds #thesearethedays #myunicornlife #candidchildhood #motherhoodinspired #oureverdaymoments #truemotherhood #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #littlebellows #livesimply #celebrate_childhood #runwildmychild #motherhoodrising⁠ #motherhoodunplugged #mytinymoments #nothingisordinary #momentsofmine #happylife #creativehappylife #creativityfound #dontquityourdaydream #liveauthentic#liveintentional #livefullyalive⁠

'Home is the starting place of love, hope & dreams.' 🏠💙⁠ ⁠ One of the biggest accomplishments and investments you can make in your adult life is buying a home. Ownership is a great feeling and being able to provide a place to raise a family is priceless. ⁠ ⁠ There is no denying that it can be a daunting task.⁠ ⁠ We've been in our second home for six years now. As homeowners, we've learned a lot. We've made mistakes but, thankfully, learned from them. ⁠ ⁠ If you're a new homeowner or thinking about making that leap, head over to our site to read our tips on how you can make a house a home and save money while you transition.

'Take away my money, throw away my time.' 🎶✨⁠ ⁠ She said she is not only channelling our hero MJ but, she is channelling her other hero, @mjthelegend_, Jalles Franca. She recently saw him in Las Vegas and was blown away by his show! She said this year she is going to be the LIVE Dangerous MJ and next year, she will choose another iconic look. I love that MJ's music and talent transcends time and generations. A true sign of a great! It's time to trick-or-treat! Stay safe out there friends, Happy Halloween! #Halloween2019⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #thesearethedays #myunicornlife #candidchildhood #YQG #motherhoodinspired #michaeljacksonstyle #oureverdaymoments #michaeljacksonking #withintheordinary #yourlifeunscripted #momentsweadore #littlebellows #michaeljackson #runwildmychild #michaeljacksonfans #michaeljacksonlover #windsoron #michaeljacksonforever #michaeljacksondance #momentsinmotherhood #michaeljacksonfans #michaeljacksontribute #thatsdarling #darlingweekend #inspiremyinstagram #inbeautyandchaos #omaginsiders #whispersinspire
