This year feels like one long season, but alas, Autum is here! As we adjust to virtual Pre-school and updating our work and stay at home routines, I was hanging on to every bit of Summer as long as I could. Switching gears now, and I am truly ready for a change in the air, which includes adding some items into my shopping cart and on to my wish list. Here is a roundup of what I’ve recently invested in and what I have my eye on.

I love when I’m asked about our favorite toys, products and activities that keep our little one busy. Besides ‘adventure’ walks (these days, ‘adventure drives’), bouncing in the bouncy house or playing in the dirt, I find much joy in sourcing a great toy or book. As best I can, I try to purchase thoughtful items I think Arthur will get much use out of and that have a learning or creative aspect. But not to worry, he has plenty of random toys and missing pieces floating around the house.

I have been reflecting on how I can make lasting impactful changes in my life to fight racism, amplify Black voices, provide support to the Black community, and diversify my son’s life, while continuing to listen and learn.

However, the freshness of Spring, the blooms, softer colors and the Spring fashion, has me craving warmer days and more sunshine. There is so much to be inspired by too!

Arthur’s First Year … We Made It!
My little boy is one and we just celebrated his first birthday! This first year has a been a bit of blur and went by too fast. It may sound strange, but I feel like I have grown up so much too. My husband and I can’t imagine life without our sweet little guy, and can’t even remember what life was like before him. Life has never been the same since his arrival. Continue Reading…

It is safe to say that I will always lust over all things wedding. With news of the impending nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan, it is going to be a wedding frenzy up until the big day, and I love it. Whenever I come across a beautiful or creative wedding, I find myself thinking of how I would plan my wedding day all over again. Don’t get me wrong, I loved every detail of my wedding, and plan to share all the details here at some point, but I find so much joy and inspiration in wedding design and decor.
