6 must-haves for traveling with toddlers

I used to stress about the experience of flying with my toddler long before the flight even began. Just the thought of confining her into an area the size of a box for longer than a hour was terrifying. Add in the public eye, and you get what I’m saying here…

I love my new baby, so why am I sad?

Six weeks ago, I gave birth to my third baby. And since I have done it three times now, I can personally verify that everything you hear about each child being a gift is true. Every child, and every birth experience, is a breathtaking miracle. But after each of my pregnancies, the days after giving […]

[VIDEO] Canadian Fixer-Upper Home Tour

For Rachel Symons, Canada is a big change, because she is originally from Bermuda. However, she has loved making their house feel like home with her husband and their two daughters, adding touches that enhance the home’s original character, updating finishes with their style and bringing in beautiful pieces that she has transformed from thrift […]

Losing one of my triplets — and living with life and loss

If you’ve recently lost a child, there’s something I want you to know. Because I’ve been there too. At the end of 2017, I found out I was pregnant. We were shocked. We weren’t actively trying, so when it happened, I hardly knew how to process it. I was extremely sick and could barely eat. […]

Why we don’t seek help when our marriages need it

Photo by: Love Well Photography Marriage. Takes. Work. We’ve all heard this saying before. But when it comes down to it, this is much easier said than done.
