Back to School 2020-2021 🏫⠀
⠀
This year's first day is looking very different for the girls, but, so far, it's been a great day. The teachers are doing such a great job of keeping them engaged. They're stretching a lot and even taking breaks outside.⠀
⠀
It's a learning curve for both students and teachers, so we are giving ourselves grace and extending that to their educators.⠀
⠀
The girls' schools are divided into quadmesters, so, come October, we can reassess to see if school will continue virtually for them.⠀
⠀
How are you finding your kids are adjusting to virtual school or being back in class?

So, I totally did a thing... 😶⠀ ⠀ If you kn

So, I totally did a thing... 😶⠀
⠀
If you know me, you know that I am a total foodie. When we travel, we plan our itinerary around the food we want to try.⠀
⠀
Food and travel go hand in hand for us.⠀
⠀
When it comes to cooking, I just love it. I'm passionate about cooking because I love that it brings people together. The best memories are made in the kitchen and around the dining table. That's what it's all about after all. ⠀
⠀
So, what is it? ⠀
⠀
Well, I've been writing a cookbook! I've been busy creating and testing recipes and perfecting my favourites. I've been working with an amazing publisher and I'm so excited to share it with you all. ⠀
⠀
It's still in the works but, I'll keep you all posted for when it's released! ⠀
⠀
For now, head over to my LINK in BIO and check out our pandemic update. I finally had some time to sit down and sort through all my thoughts about it. ⠀
⠀
If you're curious, check it out! 👈🏽

'Life is a journey, enjoy the ride.' 💚⠀
⠀
If you've been following along, you know that taking car rides has been one of our escapes during this whole COVID era.⠀⠀
⠀
Another new thing during this time is Gabby started driving. No one told me it was going to be this scary, though, and it's not because she can't drive, she is a natural, but it's just another fear that I have as a parent.⠀
⠀
A little bit more of letting go and widening of the tether that connects us but, I'm happy to see her to do it. She'll always be my little Peanut, even if she has to bend down to take selfies with me. Love you, kid.⠀
⠀
I still can't believe time flew so fast.⠀
⠀
Life is wild sometimes, huh?⠀
⠀
So, another day—another ride and to enjoying the journey!

'August is like the Sunday of summer.' 💚⠀ ⠀

'August is like the Sunday of summer.' 💚⠀
⠀
⚡DOUBLE TAP if you're HOLDING ON!⚡⠀
⠀
We are definitely holding on to summer for as long as we possibly can. School isn't in for a few weeks, yet so, we will continue to enjoy the long days and beautiful weather. We'll be picnicking, exploring the outdoors, and local businesses.⠀
⠀
One thing I aimed to do more of this year was to support and shop small businesses and put money back into our local economy. We've had a blast (and a tasty time) discovering them, believe me!⠀
⠀

⠀
Today we hit up @kings.bakeshop, and I'm totally not ashamed to admit we cleared out her toffee cookies in the case. They're our absolute FAVE. ⠀
⠀
Then we ordered some take out for the kids, I made some homemade wings for MOI and then we're going for another drive once the sun sets.⠀
⠀
How are you soaking up summer this week?

'Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn't mean to take.' 🗺⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
This summer has been all about hitting the road, open space, and taking in the fresh air. We've stuck close to home, enjoyed garden picnics, frolicked on the beach, and watched sunsets over still waters. We've even got lost and found some incredible gems because of it.⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
We still have more trips planned and we've upped our road trip game with some pretty epic @proclipusa Jeep accessories. From a center dash mount, GoPro mount, tablet holder, and phone holder. Hands-free, streaming, entertaining, and capturing the adventure on the way. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⚡SWIPE TO SEE THEM⚡⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
They say that not all classrooms have 4 walls, and I wholeheartedly believe that. We will be doing more exploring while distance learning.⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
The adventure continues!⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Click my LINK IN BIO to see the full adventure and how to install the accessories.⠀⠀

Have you taken any road trips or day trips lately?⠀

'No one tells you that the hardest part of motherhood is when your kids grow up.' 💚⠀
⠀
It's hard, but it's beautiful too.⠀
⠀
This kid lights up my life, and in the upcoming weeks, she will be on the road. From driving her Barbie Jeep to driving my Jeep. It blows my mind.⠀
⠀
➡️ SWIPE TO SEE HER ➡️⠀
⠀
This week, we, as parents, decided how to handle the upcoming school year. What works for us is continuing distance learning. ⠀
⠀
I know this isn't what Gabby envisioned for Grade 11 and Grade 5 for Mimi either, and quite frankly, neither did I. I mourn for them a little bit but, I know that they will persevere.⠀
⠀
No judgment, how are you handling this school year?

'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.' ✨⠀

'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.' ✨⠀
⠀
Well, that's me 99.9% of the time. 😄 ⠀
⠀
But, when there's cookies involved, you know I am having one. ⠀
⠀
We celebrated Harry Potter's birthday this weekend with butterbeer macarons, chocolate frogs, and for good measure (and totally not related,) macadamia cookies from @kings.bakeshop too. ⠀
⠀
I never knew Harry was older than me but, there it is. July 31st, 1980. Happee Birthdae Harry!⠀
⠀
Made me miss Diagon Alley, sipping on butterbeer, and casting spells with my kid's wand. ⠀
⠀
Any other Harry Potter fans out there? What house do you belong to? Mine is Gryffindor. 🦁❤💛
