27 Week Bump Update
Well, just like that its the third trimester! Honestly, this pregnancy is absolutely flying by and I can’t believe we’ll be meeting our baby girl in approximately 12 more weeks. I’m definitely feeling this little one’s growth since I “popped” at the 6 month mark. Bending down and picking up the constant piles of Chayton’s…
My journey to Minimalism
My husband will laugh when he reads this. I’m not naturally a minimalist and by no means have I become one. As with all things, I’m a work in progress. But I aspire to one day arrive at a place where I live with only what I need and love, nothing more. My husband is…
24 Week Bump and thankful reflections
I hope you all enjoyed your fill of juicy turkey and pumpkin pie! Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays, not just for the food but also the symbolism. As I spent the weekend with family, I also took the time to reflect on all the blessings we have been given this year. We had…
Passport 2 Freedom
Fall fashion! We all love it! But as a Summer girl at heart, I’m always seeking out new and creative ways to extend the life of my Summer wardrobe while still keeping things cozy for Fall. Because we’ve had such a beautiful Indian summer the last few weeks, dressing for early autumn has been fairly…
The Pink Box
Full Disclosure, I am not a fan of pink. Even when I was a little girl, I always preferred purple over pink (as if those are the only choices for girls), it just wasn’t something that I could really get behind. However, when my good friend Katie Zeppieri, Founder and Creative Director of Girl Talk Empowerment…
Because she is a girl
Finding out that we are having a daughter has given me a huge flood of emotions these last few weeks. I’ve had every emotion in the book since finding out, and even some unexpected tears (“Raise ’em up”…Thanks, Keith Urban). Being a keynote at Leading Moms last friday was extra influential in bringing all these…
Those Autumn Leaves…
The world is such a beautiful place in Autumn. It is nature’s testimony that we must not fear age, but rather embrace growing old with the golden elegance of a forrest with leaves aglow! This season is teaching me about soaking in the moment, slowing down and setting aside the anticipation of “what’s next”, to…
Sexism Disrupted: 5 practical tips for promoting female excellence
Today I am pleased to launch a new section on my blog: Sisterhood Saturdays, dedicated to passing the mic, amplifying the voices of others and giving badass women a platform to share their stories and expertise.

Fallow Clothing: Made with Freedom in mind
It’s a beautiful thing with passion and purpose align. It’s an even more beautiful thing when companies of integrity find a way to incorporate ethics, sustainability and social justice into the very ethos of their business. This is the way of the future. And I am incredibly proud when I can call the trailblazers, innovators…
It’s A….
Woohoo! Halfway there! We had our 20 week ultrasound last week and were so excited to get a chance to see baby #2 again and find out the gender! Baby kept dancing around and kicking the tech’s wand; It was pretty funny to see a glimpse into this little one’s personality already. After a little…
Eco-Beauty with Elate
Let’s face it; as women, most of us wear at least a little bit of makeup every day. For something that has become such a daily ritual in most of our lives, it only makes sense for us to seek out something that is not only good for us, but also good for the earth…
