3 Tips For Organizing Your Entryway

July 25, 2022July 6, 2022
organizing entryway Montreal lifestyle fashion beauty blog

Our entryway used to be so neat and organized. I had a cute little vintage desk that I refinished myself and a chic basket or two to hold things. But you know how it is. You have a kid. The kid has stuff. You have stuff. You live in a construction zone for months. The clutter just gets away from you. Well, it kinda got to a breaking point for me and I decided to do something about it. Here […]

August garden update 🧑🏻‍🌾 It's been cha August garden update 🧑🏻‍🌾 It's been challenging keeping up with garden maintenance this season (re: just had a baby and our house has been under construction for over four months!) The weeds and earwigs are winning 😓 It's hard even to get out there to water everything in the intense summer heat, as evidenced by the stressed magnolia tree still in its nursery can 🥵 But we do have some beautiful things out there! I can't believe how well the hydrangeas are doing after being transplanted TWICE this spring, and being crushed under dirt, and having multiple branches snapped off 🤯 And we have an abundance of tomatoes and even a few visiting bumblebees 🐝 It's honestly more than I could've hoped for this season 😅

The garden's kinda been on autopilot for a while a The garden's kinda been on autopilot for a while and I'm surprised how well the veggies have been doing actually, especially the tomatoes 🍅 I think it's the soil mix I made! The flowers on the other hand, have not done so well. Only one sunflower came up out of the four varieties I planted. No lavatera, cosmos or strawflowers came up at all. The Madame butterfly snapdragons are growing sideways on the ground 🤦🏻‍♀️ And my first year of trying to grow sweet peas has yielded just a handful of blooms 🫤 At least we have some colour! You can't win 'em all!

I have to talk about this dress from @nothingfitsb I have to talk about this dress from @nothingfitsbut 💃 It was a late pregnancy splurge 'cause I wanted to treat myself and it's actually really versatile. Some maternity dresses are cut in such a way that it looks weird to still wear it after giving birth, but this was designed to be worn before and after! And the sleeves can be worn as puffy sleeves or off-the shoulder. I'm not a huge fan of smocking usually, but it works so well for keeping the dress up when you wear the sleeves off the shoulder and for whipping out a boob for breastfeeding 🤱 Love it!

The botanical gardens is one of my favourite place The botanical gardens is one of my favourite places in the city and I try to go at least once a year! Although I'm still recovering from pushing a whole human out of my body, they have a pretty cool installation on right now, only until the end of July, so I wanted to check it out while I still could. Luckily, there are many shaded benches everywhere and it's very stroller accessible 👶 It's actually not a bad place to spend an afternoon when you're on mat/pat leave, it really breaks up the monotony of taking care of a newborn! I highly recommend it 🥰🌷🌹🌻

New blog post is up! It's been almost two months t New blog post is up! It's been almost two months that our walls have been busted open for our house extension project and things were getting outta control around here 😰 (Swipe to see what I mean...just piles of boxes everywhere and our dining table blocking doorways!) Back in June, I decided I needed to gain back control of at least the chaos that was our entryway! And I think I've succeeded beyond my expectations 😁 Link to the products used and tips on how to organize your entryway is in the bio!

Heat wave beach day 🏖️ But Hazel and I could Heat wave beach day 🏖️ But Hazel and I could only last in the tent for about an hour before going to the car for some AC 🥵 By the way, I got some new sunglasses and IMMEDIATELY scratched one of the lenses right in the middle 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think it's time for me to buy fancy sunglasses instead of $20 ones. I've never lost sunglasses, and I apparently need all the coatings! Where does one get fancy sunglasses with all the special lens coatings?? The optometrist???

My two-year-old just got out of bed to tell me that he's trying to go to sleep. Not, "stop being so loud, I'm trying to sleep!" Just, "I'm trying to go to sleep." Are you though? 🙄

Okay, why is lying down so amazing?? It's like my body's just meant to be horizontal at all times. I refuse to participate in this vertical-ist world any longer!

Something that really bugs me in how people sometimes interact with me is the types of compliments they might give. For example, I paint occasionally and I would much prefer someone say, "I like your painting" than "You're such a good painter."
