On Thursday we filmed something that is so close to our hearts that we will share with everyone in the beginning of June. I hate to be annoying and leave out so many details but we aren’t allowed to share just yet.  It is such a special project that is close to our hearts and let me tell you we were EXHAUSTED after it, my goodness.  I am working on a few other fun campaigns that I am excited to share with you in the next few weeks as well so stay tuned for those! Our favourite place to go when we’ve had a busy week is my parents farm aka the farm. There is something so special about it, as soon as Lee and I pull in we feel we can instantly relax, we are so lucky to have such a special place only an hour away.  We went out there on Friday and came back yesterday because Lee is super busy with work. When we were packing up Dane made it quite clear he was not ready to come home so Gigi and Papa agreed to have him one more night… how are we at this age already!? We asked him repeatedly if he wanted to come home with us or stay and he without hesitation begged to stay. He is growing up sooo fast and speaking of growing up too fast, Dane got his first haircut! He almost made it to his third birthday before his first cut!  It was pretty uneventful because we just trimmed his bangs lol I couldn’t get rid of his baby curls just yet. His Auntie Marlo did it for him and he did so well! The smileson their faces say it all, what a special bonding experience for these two!

What I Cooked:

Like I mentioned, it was a busy week so I took advantage of a few meals I had frozen.  A few weeks ago I made this shepherd’s pie and doubled the filling then froze it so I would have it on hand for a quick meal another day.  Don’t you just love when you’re organized and do shit like this? Little pat on the back for moi! I pulled out the frozen filling and then topped it off with the instant potatoes that you buy at Costco. Listen, do we eat these all the time? No, but when in a pinch, they are great! I literally pulled out the filling in the am so it thawed through the day and then put it into a pan, took 3 minutes to make the potatoes and put it in the oven.  Homemade shepherd’s pie in less than 20 minutes. Try this hack and thank me later! I actually do this quite often, if you’re making the mess double the recipe and freeze for another day!

What I’m Loving:

Joe Fresh! I have said this before but I’m here to say it again! Joe Fresh is killing it this season. I have now placed TWO Joe Fresh orders and I am SO happy with everything I got. I can’t always say that… I go through phases with them. Sometimes I love their stuff and others I am just not into it. Here are a few things I ordered for myself and the kids and are loving!

What I Wore:

Sweater is from Shop Teach! I am wearing a size small!

Tank is Shop Teach and I am wearing size small! This tank is slightly oversized but more so I relaxed fit if that makes sense!

I think that’s all for now!

Sorry this one is a bit late- chat next week!

Yes, this is where you will find the mini egg cheesecake recipe you’ve all been asking for… actually, here it is. You have waited long enough! 100/10 make this. It takes almost a full 24 hours so prepare yourself for that but when I say it’s worth it, I mean it.

Okay, let’s recap the week. It was Easter weekend which means this week consisted of tonnes of overeating, leftovers and catch up from taking Friday and Monday off… yes we took both days, the perks of both being entrepreneurs. Speaking of being an entrepreneur, I’m sure you’ve heard but I am back at work!! Well, I guess I’ve technically been back at work with TMS for quite some time, but I took 6 months off from Shop Teach but I am back and it feels good(ish).  I say ish because if I am being totally transparent, it does still feel a little soon. Although Halo is 6 months and I took WAY longer than I anticipated. I still feel a little sense of guilt for having to go back to work. Of course, most of the work hours will be when she is napping or sleeping at night, but there will be times where she will have to be with Lee or our parents so I can work.  It also means my brain is going a mile a minute with what all needs to get done and that means I am not fully present with her all the time and that makes me feel like a bad mom. I KNOW how fast this time goes. I’ve seen it with Dane… one minute he’s 4 pounds swimming in preemie clothes and the next he’s yelling at me from the basement asking me to come hit bombs (home runs) with him lol.  But, such is the life I choose, that is one of being my own boss, which can be challenging but of course, also comes with perks. All that being said, I hope you love this drop as much as I do! I hope you will take some time to look and see if anything catches your eye! To those who have messaged, commented, or sent an encouraging DM, thank you so much for the support, it truly means the world to me!

What I cooked /ate:

The Mini Egg cheesecake which I already shared the recipe for but if you missed it, here it is again! Other than that I really haven’t cooked a lot! My mom sent us home with a tonne of leftovers from Easter dinner (jackpot), my Inspired Go salads have been getting me through lunches, by the way if you’re on the fence about trying these, do it, they’re unreal. We made a couple pizzas using the shells they sell at the Italian Star Deli. I believe they bring in from Solo Italia in Ogema. If you haven’t tried these go to Italian Star Deli and grab some- they freeze beautifully and make the best pizza! We always have a few in the freezer for quick dinners.

What I’m loving:
Okay, this is random but the Honolulu Cookie Company now sells mini bites at Coscto… you MUST get them but prepare yourself, you will eat the entire bag in less than a week they’re that good. If you haven’t had Honolulu Cookie Company cookies, they are a Hawaiian delicacy- shortbread cookies that are to die for!

What I Wore:

This week I wore a whole lot of Shop Teach because the drop is happening TODAY! You can shop it here! If you happen to snag a few of the pieces and need some style inspo look no further!

Joggers are Shop Teach we have a few sizes available, I’ll link them here!

Have a great week, besties!

Ok- chances are, if you’re here you want to see the dresses, so enough of me chatting away, let’s get to the good stuff… the dresses!

The Hanley

The Hanley is almost as if the Kincaid and the Vanguard had a baby! The length and fit is very similar to the Vanguard and the fabric is the same as the Kincaid. Although this dress has spaghetti straps, which are typically not appropriate for work, you can simply add a blazer or leather jacket over top or throw on a blouse underneath. I love the details on this dress: the pockets, the wooden buttons, and the belt! This dress comes in three beautiful colours: rust, oatmeal, and black!

The Ray 2.0
The Ray was the most popular dress from our first drop and for good reason…It is ADORABLE! It’s fun, flirty, and seriously comfortable! This dress is definitely on the shorter side making it fun and flirty for a GNO or simply add some tights and booties and you have a fall look that you can wear to work. The OG Ray had an elastic in the sleeve, this updated version doesn’t have that. The Ray 2.0 also comes in two new BEAUTIFUL colours: rust and olive… both which are perfect for Fall and Winter!

Thank you SO much for you continued support!!
