In this vlog I’m catching you guys up on everything—starting with a cozy morning where we took the kids to the Santa Claus parade in Pickering with family. I also showed you a new winter find I’m honestly impressed with: a longer puffer jacket from Walmart that was only $80 (because I needed something longer for the harsh part of winter). It was one of those real-life mom mornings—doing hair quickly, getting out the door, and just enjoying the day with the kids. Then we got into home updates. I painted Asher’s room accent wall and I’m not even going to lie, I wasn’t sure at first (the yellow light in his room was not helping), but once I started planning the wall art it made more sense. I made new construction-themed prints on Canva—super easy to DIY—and I love that anybody can do it. After that, we lime-washed the powder room into this olivey green vibe, and once everything was put back (and Curtis even painted the ceiling), I was like… okay, I actually love it. I also shared little holiday updates—our simple Christmas decor, teacher gifts, Christmas shopping chaos, and how God really pays attention (because the play kitchen I wanted ended up being the perfect deal at a closing IKEA). And at the end, I had to explain that a lot of footage got deleted—family photoshoot, Christmas brunch, gifts—plus I was dealing with grief after losing a friend, right at the end of a heavy semester. Real life, but we’re going to keep the momentum going.
