Far too often, when I unpack my kids’ lunch bags after school, I find most of their lunch still in the bag. I ask why… “They needed us out of the classrooms, so we didn’t have time to eat better.” Consistent answers from both boys. Other moms relate a... Read more

- Just had the most indulgent Monday morning at the @willowstreamspa at the @fairmontpacific . We had a milestone birthday to celebrate and we did it in style. Ps watch for my upcoming stories as I’ll be sharing more about our stay- our room... ooh la la.
- Breaking up the regularly scheduled programming to share this exact feeling in time. ❤️ @jamesducommun
- September has been a WHIRLWIND! With back-to-school for both the kids (and my busiest month of work to date ), it has all been so exciting but I also feel like I’ve been pulled in about a million and one directions. It’s these times, more than ever, that I know I need to carve out time for ME. My all time favourite way to unwind is in a hot bath. Add wine and a delicious treat like @smartfoofcanada , and I’ll be in there before the tub is even full. Many of my personal friends have witnessed my love of popcorn
- We’ve just wrapped up a couple of really fun trips where it has been all work and not much sleep but, for the time we actually do spend in our hotel rooms, we’ve got some essentials that we love. A good book, a sleep mask and a hot coffee can’t be beat. ( @thefamilyjewelsblog literally can’t sleep without a sleep mask- AND a sound machine ) Swipe over to the next image to see some of our other @chaptersindigo favourite picks for a cozy weekend in or away. @studio86design #IndigoWeekend #IndigoFaves #adventuresofjessandsam #rlspartner
