LIFE HACK// So something I’ve been struggling with for a long time is how three year olds have no boundaries, ha ha! Calder dropped his naps 6 months ago and with it, my 2.5 hours of peace and quiet to work in the afternoon.
Swipe —> to see my sweet little work set up today. For two hours of childcare at the YMCA it’s $12.50 and I get to sit here and actually concentrate and not be the snack bitch for once (I actually think that’s what I should be putting on my resume, it’s 62% of my daily work). My favourite part was the lady at the front desk telling me to enjoy my workout, cute!
Being a mom is so busy ... being human is so busy ...
it’s hard to find enough time in your day for self care .
I am the worst for forgetting about myself.
Even before kids... I never took the time to take care of myself .
Did you know mobile spas exist !?!
I didn’t !!!
& I’m so excited about it !
@coastalblissyyc Is a mobile spa located in #calgaryalberta !
They offer tons of services like :
Massage , waxing , eyelash extensions , tinting , and more !!!
On the weekend I FINALLY got my eyebrows waxed ...
AND I got my first set of eyelash extensions .
All in the comfort of my own home !
Does it get any easier than that ?
I’m so impressed with the results . My eyelashes are gorgeous and my eyebrows look fantastic... for the first time in forever.
I typically go months without getting my eyebrows done because I just don’t have the time . Now with @coastalblissyyc I can get my brows done while my kids nap !
It doesn’t get any easier than that !!!

I have been sitting wondering, what the heck do I even post to social media after a weekend like I experienced? A weekend that felt like a catapult; flinging hundreds of people into the world to love the broken, the hurting, to serve the poor, and be in awe of the goodness of God.
.
What do I say? Honestly, it makes me rethink everything, including this space. Because I’m a world of words and pictures, actions are few and therefore so necessary.
.
My words fall flat so I’ll just share by favourite quote from my favourite ted talk this weekend:
.
“Those who have fully given themselves to God are with the poor and suffering and experience a grace to see God in places that others simply don’t. I often consider, part of my daily bread can only come from the people God has waiting for me today. I see God in them, and it’s a gift to receive the depths of his love for them.” - Jessica Barbour @jessicabarbour .

It's a GIRL! Darcy and I are so excited to announce that a little lady will be joining our family in June!
There's a long story behind how and why we found out what we were having at 29 weeks after deciding not to know the gender but I'll save that story for another time.
We are about a month and a half away from meeting our girl so I'm busy getting everything prepared for her arrival.
We recieved this gorgeous pink @lollipopbabycamera that I absolutely love. It will match the theme and colors of her room perfectly and I'll be able to watch her from an app on my phone rather than carry a receiver around. I'm going to post a review of their app and the quality once little miss arrives but it's just beautiful so I had to share.
It's unbelievable how real it all became as soon as we knew that there was a little girl in there. I can picture her little curls and big eyes and I can see Darcy just wrapped around her finger. We can't wait to spoil this little lady with so much love!
As I am getting ready to celebrate my 4th Mother’s Day, I cant believe that soon I will be preparing for my baby’s First Day of School ✨
@oasiscanada has put together a First Day of School package that includes information for parents, personalized stickers for belongings and juice boxes for lunches. It’s FREE and you can sign up at 1stdayofschool.ca - watch my stories for more info
