Just checking in...

 

Hey everyone! What strange weather we have been getting for this time of year. I remember last year on Family Day weekend we had a ton of snow and went tobogganing with family. This year its in the double digits! I know... I'm talking about weather, we are always talking about the weather because it's what's interesting about one day to the next haha.

Well what makes me most happy is when the sunshine comes beaming into my house in the morning and then gradually goes from the front half of the house all the way around my the back end. It definitely raises my mood first thing!

I hope everyone has a great long weekend, we are spending it relaxing at home and I am getting to know our new computer!! Finally a computer that works well and does what I need to do,  it's been like 10 years!

 AFTER:

So at the beginning of last year (2019) we got the opportunity to renovate our bathroom! As you can see from the before photos, our bathroom was in rough shape! The shower tiles were mostly crumbling and just falling off the wall and with each shower the wall started to cave in... As it is our only bathroom (in the future we plan to install a new one in the basement!) it was a MUST do as soon as possible. We have a friend who has his own business and we did an amazing job!! The floor tile is my favourite and subway tile is so classic. We are so happy with the results and we are thoroughly enjoying having a fully functioning bathroom without the added stress! Thanks to my parents for letting us stay with them while it was being done!! I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at our latest reno, sorry it's taken so long to share. xoxo Georgina

Mom Tip: Small Toy Storage

Hey all you moms! Sometimes storing all your children's toys can be hard. I'm here to give you some easy ideas for storing those toys in a visually pleasing way. Toys don't have to take over your house while you have young kids!

A cute play house/shelf from IKEA, with easy access for little hands is a great way to organize books or use as a play house, but it's off the ground and easy to keep clean.

This little basket I got from the thrift store for $2 (I'm positive it is from IKEA)! It's the perfect size for alphabet blocks. I put it on my book shelves in my living room and it is pretty to look at and nicely hiding the toys inside so it doesn't look like your kid has taken over your living room.

Another basket from the thrift store that's holding the cutest little train set!

A bigger basket for under our TV unit.

Another tip for mom's who like to display collectible antiques, they also make great toys! I put this typewriter under our half moon table and my daughter loves to bang away on it. Pretty and functional, win win! We also have an old rotary phone and some vintage cameras.

These little shelf boxes are from IKEA (I sense an IKEA theme ;)!) and I love them so much. They come seperately and are a perfect way to display everything from books to toys. You can hang them low to the ground so your kids can reach what is in them, or put them up higher so they will stay organized.

Well, that's just one of my favourite mom decorating tips. Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday! xoxo Georgina
