Our Inspiration

We are a blended family figuring out life together, sometimes gracefully, sometimes chaotically, but always with love. I am a stay-at-home mom, and my husband is a ship captain who spends long stretches away for work each month. That means our days are full, lively, and always a little unpredictable.

Our story began in 2020. I came into this family with two children from a previous marriage, and my husband brought a daughter from his past relationship. Navigating divorce, separation, and blending our families has not always been easy, but it has taught us patience, teamwork, and how to find joy in the little things. After five amazing years, we tied the knot, and shortly after, welcomed our newest baby. Now our children span ages 16, 11, 9, and newborn, keeping life exciting, challenging, and deeply rewarding.

We started this blog to share our journey through blended family life. Here you will find honest parenting insights, favourite products that make our days easier, and our adventures as a Canadian and US family who love to travel. From family trips to everyday moments at home, we share the real, messy, joyful, and sometimes hilarious life we live.

Meet the Family

We are now a family of six. Our journey together began in 2020. I came into this family with two children born in 2014 and 2017, and my husband brought a daughter born in 2009. Now, with our newest baby here, we are building a home full of laughter, learning, and love.

My husband and I also share a 15-year age gap, which brings a unique perspective, steady partnership, and a lot of life experience to our family dynamic.

Our Vision

We aim to connect with like-minded people who value family, travel, and everyday adventures. We want to share our journey as a blended family; celebrating the joys, navigating the challenges, and finding inspiration in the little moments. Along the way, we highlight the products and brands we love, sharing what truly makes life easier and more enjoyable.

Looking ahead, we hope to collaborate with brands that align with our values and lifestyle, creating authentic content that inspires and connects with others on a similar path.
