April has come to a close and it went SO fast! This was our first full month with Grant and both Dale and I were off work on leave. I will always remember how special it was to have time at home together with our new baby! Family and friends got to come meet Grant and we spent many sleepless nights up with the baby, had pediatrician visits, and enjoyed all the snuggles. We also made it to Reverie, Grace’s musical she wrote and composed, celebrated Easter with family, and celebrated our nephew Graham’s 6th birthday. Here are a few favorites from around the web:

I’m not normally a big coffee drinker (until having a newborn) but this coffee bar and kitchen are dreamy!
While Easter is a whole year away, I’m bookmarking this recipe for next year
This was one of our favorite meals we managed to cook this month
I would love one of these necklaces as a new mom!
Dreamy interior spaces worth admiring
A favorite recent non-baby purchase, a fancy cat fountain for Otto!
And a set I purchased before baby arrived that I’m excited to finally get to wear!
I would love to make these Spring cheese boats for my next party!
A favorite piece I saw for this year’s 36 days of type
Wouldn’t this be fun for summer?
Hello, spring!

Happy Halloween, friends! This October was extra special because we were able to celebrate my sister Sophie’s engagement, she found her wedding dress and she had a birthday! Dale also turned 29 this month and despite being on a busy rotation at work we celebrated with Minsky’s and a fire pit night. We also fit in lots of traditional October things with a visit to Weston to pick apples and pumpkins, we went to Louisberg Cider Mill and watched both the Presidential and Vice Presidential Debates on our outdoor projector. Last night we topped it all off by watching Hocus Pocus with a few friends. We’ve made the most of this extra strange spooky season! Here are a few of my favorite’s this month:
