Happy Halloween!!!

Nasty weather...Crying baby...The odds were not in my favor! :(
Soooo...this (sad) mama decided to stay home with baby and let daddy head out to collect some treats with our lil' cupcake! I would have looooove to see Livia on her first Halloween "trick or treat session" but hey!...we don't want our lil' popcorn to get sick, don't we! ;)

Once again THANK YOU PINTEREST for the inspiration!
Hope you all had a great night!
...don't forget to brush your teeth! ;)

PS (November 1st): Want to see a little "behind the scenes" of these 2 costumes? My friends Catherine & Vanessa shared some pics on their blog called Le Bijou! Enjoy! :)

Little update...

Soooo... what have you been up to these last few weeks?
I got pretty busy elsewhere and *ALMOST* forgot about this little blog of mine! My bad!

My 1st little wholesale order kept me quite busy...Sewing all these items with 2 kids in the house, in between meals, diaper changes, breastfeeding sessions wasn't all that easy but I'm pretty proud of myself! :)

Afterwards, I had to tackle our Halloween costumes...just finished the 2nd one this morning! Here's a sneak peek...some pics you might have seen on Instagram if you are following me!

Part of Livia's costume...

"Our" costume (Logan & me! ;) )

I'll make sure to take some pics of the final result tomorrow night! It's going to be Livia's 1st time "trick or treating"! I'm sure she'll be pretty excited! ;)

What will your kids be dressed like tomorrow night?

2 months

Dear Logan,

This week, you turned 2 months old. Life is going crazy fast, but I'm trying to take it all in & enjoy each & every little moment I get to spend with you. Sometimes I wish my eyes could take pictures, just to make sure I don't forget a thing! I'm actually a real mamarazzi, (you must have figured this out by now) my iphone always in hand to make sure I can capture your sweet smiles. You smile a lot, more & more everyday and it's just the sweetest thing! In a few months, you'll probably be damn tired of me taking pictures! ;) Lately, you've started making the cutest little noises, like you were trying real hard to communicate with us & tell us something truly important! Your sister finds it soooo exciting when you try to "talk" to her!

Happy happy baby!

Dear Livia,

You are the sweetest sister Logan could have! You are so wise, always telling me what I should do when he cries: "Logan is crying for mommy's milk...Logan has yellow poop in his diaper". You're killing me with cuteness! You always want to help out whenever possible & that's just the sweetest thing. You love entertaining your brother on his play mat, I can't wait to see you both play together when he'll grow up (Actually, that's just a saying, I CAN totally wait since you are both growing up so fast!)

Say cheese!!!

A few months ago, when I wrote this post, somebody told me this:
"Your love will multiply, it won't be shared..."
Well that couldn't be more true! Just when you think you couldn't ever love more...your love grows x 2! This is a time of my life (our lives) I never ever want to forget!

Apple season!!!

Last weekend, we made our annual trip to a lovely orchard for apple picking! We've been going to the same place for about 4 years now and we love it! Maybe you seen last year's pictures in this post? Can't believe how little Livia was, with her short baby hair!!!

The weather was perfect, quite hot in fact for end of September. We had such a nice time! My new ergo baby turned out to be the perfect baby carrier! Logan slept all the way and we both were perfectly comfortable! That was a good buy, I totally recommend it if you're a new mom! :)

I wanted to share some pics sooner but my computer failed...then the week flew by like crazy (as usual, when does it ever stops!) But my computer is now fixed (Alleluia!!!) so here they are:

Running up the hill...

...and slowing down a little!

Climbed all the way here with the ergo baby...definitely a good buy. Absolutely no back pain!

What we've been up to...

I haven't been around lately because things have been a bit hectic around here... I've been meaning to write a little post, but when I was about to sit down to do so, my computer failed! :(  Let me tell you, I totally felt like crying! My laptop is now at the Apple store & my fingers have been crossed ever since, truly hoping they will be able to fix the problem & that my computer is not simply DEAD!

 

Meanwhile, I thought I could do a quick post using my Iphone (Thank God for Iphones, it has proven to be pretty useful these last few days!) Here a glimpse at what we've been up to last week...

 

I helped Livia make her very 1st bracelet...and less than 24hr later, it was already lost...typical!



We ran some errands & I enjoyed my 1st Pumpkin Spice Latte! Sooooo good!

I took Livia to the library for the 1st time (ok, I had already brought her when I was on mat leave, but it doesn't really count, she was a few months old & always sleeping in her stroller!)

Even though October was right around the corner, we were lucky enough to enjoy some nice & warm weather! Perfect for walks, playground fun & smoothies!

Hope you're all having a nice week! 

Talk to you soon (hopefully via my repaired lap top!)

 

Take care!

Velvet Moustache - love at first sight!

Velvet Moustache - does this name sounds familiar to you?
Maybe you've already seen their eco-friendly/ decorative/ playful animal cushions?

After my studies in fashion design, I was looking for some little freelance contracts & came across this Montreal based company. I totally fell in love with their vision, aesthetic & designs! I got in touch with Majorie, the highly talented woman behind the brand, and was lucky enough to do a few little contracts for her! I got to know her & her company, and let me tell you, my admiration now has no limits for her! It so inspiring to see local artists grow their business with so much passion (and hard work!) like she does.

When Livia was born, I bought the Owl cushion for her nursery. She totally loves it & sleeps with it every single night ever since!

So now that Logan is here, it was only a matter of time before he got his very own Velvet Moustache cushion. This time around, I had a hard time choosing which design I wanted to bring back home because there are so many to choose from & they are all adorable. We ended up choosing the Fox, as a tribute to my lovely little redhead baby boy!

On Wednesday, we did a little field trip and visited Velvet Moustache's HQ! Isn't this wall of cushions impressive? (and you don't even see the entire wall here!)

You can buy your very own Velvet Moustache cushion on their website! Go take a look!
And tell me, what's your favorite design?

Talk to you soon!

Under the sea... a surprise giveaway!

When I was little, The Little Mermaid must have been one of my favorite Disney movie! (and "Under the Sea" one of my favorite soundtrack songs!) I've always loved swimming & I remember dreaming of being a mermaid, just like Ariel! Do you remember the part when Ursula turns herself into a human using Ariel's voice to try to seduce Prince Eric?...God was I mad her evil human self was called Vanessa! Why oh why! Hahaha!

Brings back childhood memories, right?

When I was asked to do a giveaway, I couldn't resist! My daughter loves her Little Mermaid book and to this day, she has never seen the movie so it will be a great opportunity for me to travel back to my childhood & watch this award-winning Disney classic with my favorite little lady! One lucky reader will also get his very own of the Blu-ray +DVD combo pack of The Little Mermaid- Diamond Edition (coming out October 1st)

So if you'd like to be the lucky winner, all you have to do is:
-Like my facebook page (if you're not yet a fan!)
-Leave a comment below the giveaway's post on my facebook page!

You have until September 27th (Midnight EDT) to participate, winner will be announced on September 28th!
Good luck to you all! :)
