The inspiration for this challenge comes from reading The ...

What to do with all your old stuff

Despite the last couple of months being insanely busy with the holidays, entertaining, working full-time, and spending a week in Mexico, this is ...

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to all my American readers! I hope that you all had a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends! Although Canada tends to be America 2.0 in many respects, we have our own Thanksgiving Day in October, so Thursday was just a boring old work day for all of us up here ...

MINS GAME: October Minimalism Challenge 

October 2, 2017      4 Comments

Over the month of October, I will be playing the “Minimalism Game” or “Mins Game,” coined by Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus (but you might know them better as “The Minimalists”). They discovered the benefits of minimalism around 2010, and since then have built a minimalist empire (ooohh ...

How to Make Your Own Personalized Wire Wedding Hangers

August 27, 2017      3 Comments

You’ve seen them all over Pinterest and Etsy and probably on the blogs of your favourite wedding photographers too – personalized wire wedding hangers. They’re everywhere. Yet tutorials for making them are, well… not everywhere. In fact, they’re totally lacking and seemingly absent. How is it that ...

This cute little Bernie and his mittens is my favourite thing I’ve ever crocheted 😍
Merry Christmas from my little family to yours! 🎄🥰
Of course I dressed my child up as the Child/Baby Yoda for Halloween 😬🎃 hope you all had a fun and safe day!
M I N S G A M E : D A Y 2 6 Found an old box f M I N S  G A M E :  D A Y  2 6

Found an old box filled with lots of dried out paint, paint pens, and varnish today!
Also found:
-an iPhone cable that doesn’t work
-a magnetic phone to car vent mount
-4 baby blankets I’ve never even used
-a sleep sack that is suddenly too short for my baby
-a burp cloth
-a sleeper that fit her fine last week  but didn’t fit today (she’s growing so fast 😭)
-a CD
-baby socks that she’s never worn
-2 more mismatched socks

Tomorrow I’m gonna start digging through my overflowing memory box (it’s not a cute little memory box, but a really big Rubbermaid tote)! I get the feeling that there’s lots in there that I can take pictures of instead of keeping the physical object... we shall see!

So I’m playing the #MinsGame for the third time. So I’m playing the #MinsGame for the third time. We’re putting our house up for sale this week and I feel like there’s a lot of stuff I just don’t want to bring with me when we move. Hence another big Mins Game purge! Not sure if I’m gonna make it to day 30 but we’re gonna try!! If you’d like to join in on the challenge, head on over to my blog (link in bio) to download a free printable chart to keep track of all the things you’re getting rid of!

Let the March minimizing begin! Day 1 post coming shortly...
M I N S G A M E : D A Y 2 3 Omg look it’s so M I N S  G A M E :  D A Y  2 3

Omg look it’s something other than baby clothes! I know this looks sparse but hear me out!

Today’s lot includes: a picture frame, old lozenges, a USB adapter of some sort, paint, an outdated cord, a broken earpiece, a box that once held a watch, some more paper items that have been lying around for too long and...wait for it...13 business cards! That totally counts, right? RIGHT?! Guys I’m getting desperate. Might have to go find some more baby clothes 🙈

Last week I posted about crocheting ear protectors Last week I posted about crocheting ear protectors for frontline workers on my personal social media pages. The response has been overwhelming and I’ve been making them pretty much non-stop ever since. 
Since these are clearly in demand, I thought it would also be beneficial for me to share the pattern so that more crocheters out there can help out! Check out the link in my bio to access the pattern and a video with step-by-step instructions.

M I N S G A M E : D A Y 1 4 Thank you for your M I N S  G A M E :  D A Y  1 4

Thank you for your input everyone... I’m going to keep going and continue playing the Mins Game!

So here we have 2 baskets, 2 towels, a curling iron, lighter, and some more expired medicines and bug repellants. 
PSA, alllll this stuff is from my bathroom... 😬 YIKES.

Now go declutter your bathrooms because they’re probably filled with a bunch of crap too!

I’ve been putting off getting rid of my daughter’s newborn and 0-3 month clothes (she was so tiny!). However, I realize that I can’t just keep all of them because they’re cute and little. So get ready for lots of baby clothes over the next couple days!

The good news is that my brother- and sis-in-law are expecting a girl this summer so they are going to get used by my little niece! (I don’t have any nieces or nephews yet so I’m REALLY excited!) Until tomorrow!
