I have a confession you guys - it took me an entire 7 months to finish ONE BOOK! 🙈 *Not* my proudest moment. I stocked up on books before I went on mat leave thinking I’d get through them all (I genuinely love reading), and then motherhood happened and welp, that plan went right out the window.
🤷🏽‍♀️
I’d read a few pages here or there when Mia was napping, and then the next time I got back around to it I’d have to re-read a little bit to remind myself of what was going on, and long story short, I didn’t finish a single book while I was off. It wasn’t until my first week back to work about a month ago that I finally got to finish my book during my train rides, AND I’m proud to say that I’ve finished another 3 books since then.
😊
P.s. I love love love reading motivational, self-help type of books and these are a few of my faves for anyone looking for some life inspo.

I went down the rabbit hole of photos from this summer on my train ride into work this morning and oh.my.goodness!
☀️
Here’s what I quickly realized - yes, this summer was *very* different than what we are used to and we didn’t get to hang out with all of our friends and family that we would have loved to see. But you guys, we had the MOST AMAZING summer together and created the best memories!
😍
From picnics at the park, picking strawberries, splashing away in the pool and at the beach to playing in flower fields, visiting a ton of animal friends at the zoo and local farms and falling in love with *all* the baby goats. AND on top of it all, we had the best morning snuggles in bed every day and family walks through the prettiest trails.
🌿
Hands down the BEST summer that Shawn and I have everrr had in our 8 years together. We are usually working on different schedules and constantly on the go that we never get a chance to truly slow down and enjoy the summer. But this year forced us to do just that and I am so so grateful for the fact that we got to spend so much time together creating these memories with our sweet girl.

Morning friends 👋🏽 So sweater weather kind of snuck up on us last week and I found myself with almost NO fall clothes for Mia. *Total mom fail* 🤦🏽‍♀️

But on the plus side, it’s made for a fun few days of shopping with my girl and finding all the cutest fits for her. Now to find some matching ones for mommy.

Do you guys enjoy twinning with your kiddos? If you do, where are your fave stores to buy mommy and me outfits? 👇🏽

Squad goals 💗

Shawn and I had a little parents getaway this weekend road tripping to Ottawa for a friend’s wedding. It was our first time leaving Mia overnight and oh my gosh you guys, I definitely missed her way more than she missed us 😩 We had the most amazing time at the wedding, but I’m slightly embarrassed to admit how many times I texted, called, and FaceTimed “just to see her face” 🙈

Needless to say we are so happy to be back and we spent the entire day today cuddling the heck out of her 🥰
