Comment “REFRESH” and I’ll send you everything I used from my @walmartcanada Tori’s Spring Picks for this reset!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I love is that @walmartcanada makes it easy to refresh your space without overspending. Their everyday low prices mean you can update your home in a way that feels elevated, but still practical.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve been feeling that little nudge to reset your space for the season, this is it. The link is in my bio, or comment “REFRESH” and I’ll send it straight to you.

In my twenties and thirties, I thought happiness was like a bus stop. A place you eventually arrived at.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You worked toward it. You got off there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But as I approach my fifth decade, I’m realizing something else. Some of my favourite moments now only exist in my memories. (Cue the sobs)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And becoming a mother amplified that realization in ways I never expected. Because I now know that one day, the noise will quiet. The questions will slow. The little voices calling “mom” from the other room will turn into something older, deeper.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One day, I’ll wonder how it all moved so quickly… and why I didn’t hold onto every ordinary moment like it was the happiest day of my life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it turns out… it was.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Motherhood has this sneaky way of passing while we’re busy waiting for the next phase.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Waiting for things to get easier. Waiting for more sleep. Waiting for the house to feel less chaotic. Waiting for life to slow down.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Waiting for the “good part.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the truth is… this was the good part. The ordinary days we were too busy to realize were actually the big ones.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And the older my kids get, the more aware I become of how quickly these seasons move… and how the little things quietly become the things you miss most.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I’m trying to remember this. Not someday, not one day, but today.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because one day this loud, messy, beautiful chapter will just be a story we tell.

We’re building a new home (no not for us)… and I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be my favourite one yet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Follow along to see the design decisions, the lessons we learn along the way, and to watch this old-money beauty come to life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want to be my neighbour? Or just want all the details? Comment NEW BUILD and I’ll send you the blog post with all the juicy details.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Right now I’m deep in the fun part… designing the inside. This basically means I’m living on Pinterest and sending Charles an alarming number of inspiration photos.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Honestly it’s taking everything in me not to pack my bags (and by bags I mean many bags… I’m not a carry-on type of girl) and move right in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if I can’t live here… at least one of you can. 🥹

Rewiring your house to install a custom art light? Expensive. This $40 @betterhomesandgardens one from @walmartcanada ? Priceless.

Comment ART LIGHT and I’ll send you the link to this ultra classy (and more importantly) ultra affordable light. 😌

Truly nothing compares to the feeling you get when you can look your husband dead in the eye and say, “I installed it myself.”

Moral of the story: you don’t need a full renovation to get that custom look. Sometimes you just need good lighting… and a screwdriver.

Make sure you’re following @fraicheliving for more small upgrades that make your home feel designer without the designer price tag. 😉

Being a boy mom is not what I expected.

I expected loud. I expected wild. I expected mud on everything.

And yeah, it is... but it’s also this quiet protectiveness I didn’t see coming. Big feelings. Random hugs for no reason. Deep conversations right after wrestling matches. Fierce love .... and a grocery bill that honestly feels like a personal attack 😅

But most of all? It has softened me in ways I never expected.

To my fellow mamas... what surprised you most about motherhood? 🤍

The kinda plans that get me excited these days 😅

Charles’ company @cwpersona is building a high-end spec home in the Okanagan and he’s bringing me along for the design side. Honestly? This is my dream scenario - getting to choose every finish, plan every detail, and bring a vision to life from the ground up.

Make sure you’re following me because I’m taking you behind the scenes of the entire build! Next up, I’m sharing all the design inspiration - and trust me, I’m head over heels in love with where this is going.

And if you’re looking for a home in the Okanagan… this stunner will be hitting the market. I’d love to call you my neighbour 🤍

Would you believe me if I told you this was the same house?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Charles and I bought this place, it was a “this has serious potential” situation. It was a MAJOR project but we love this home we’ve built. ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s taught us what we loved, what we’d do differently, and what’s worth the splurge.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fast forward many years and now we build high end spec homes for @cwpersona with way more confidence (and a much better understanding of functional grout colours).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m kicking off a series on the blog and here about building a house - the real stuff, the mistakes, the budget conversations, all of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you want to know? Design regrets? Where to save vs splurge? Drop your questions below 👇
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. If you’re looking for a home in Kelowna I just might have the one for you 👀. Sharing more details soon.
