Dressing for the office can be a challenge. Sometimes I envy men for the simplicity of their workwear: collared shirt, trousers and nice shoes. Done. I’ve often thought of wearing the same thing to work, which would be totally fine, but I don’t find collared shirts very comfortable and I hate ironing. In the end, […]

Healthy Holiday Meals
I almost always overindulge over the holidays. Often, I want to eat healthier after having a big Christmas dinner and eating 100 cookies, but I don’t feel like eating a salad. I want to eat things that still feel festive and cozy without being too rich. Here a couple of recipes I really like that […]
Four Baby Carriers and How I Use Them
(Photo from my daughter’s favourite book ‘Welcome, Baby’ – I think the parent on the left is wearing an Ergo 360 🙂 ) In her first year of life, I’ve really enjoyed carrying my daughter around in one of our four baby carriers. Once I figured out how to use them properly, I liked the […]
On Extraordinary Morning Routines
I am not a morning person. But I sure wish I was one. I would get so much done. I would be the organized, productive and active person I imagine I could be if I just jumped out of bed a few hours earlier. In hopes of inspiring myself to become a morning person, I […]
Making Baby Clothes Last
Ever since I’ve had a baby I’ve been concerned about the waste that comes along with becoming a parent.

A tall-ish girl’s defense of short pants
(Image via Madewell) “Why don’t pants go all the way down to the floor anymore?” was the investigation done by The Hairpin the other week. I found this article via A Cup of Jo and I was smiling and nodding in agreement the whole way through…until I stopped to think about the day the fashion […]
Weekly Reads: A refugee’s journey
In 2016 I had a subscription to Outside magazine. Even though I’m not an extreme skiier, rock climber or kayaker, I find it inspiring to read about other people’s adventures. There is a particular article from July 2016 that I often find myself telling people about and recommending to others. In “A Terrifying Journey Through […]
DIY Tassel Earrings
Tassels are so now, aren’t they? I’m seeing them everywhere. On baskets, as party décor and on clothing and jewelry. I’ve been thinking about getting some tassel earrings since my sister wore a pair to her wedding this summer. I loved the look, something a little playful and ‘of the moment’ with her classic dress.

Weekly Reads: Slow Fashion
I follow a lot of sewing blogs and instagram accounts. I love reading about people making their own clothes and am really interested in the slow fashion movement. I’d love to get back into sewing more of my own clothing but, for now, I just read and follow along. I am a big fan of […]
