I am overwhelmingly grateful to everyone who bought sticky buns from me this holiday season. I plan to sell them again next year too, so stay tuned! In the meantime, though, I've created a digital resource with my tried and true sourdough sticky bun recipe AND a brand new sourdough cinnamon roll variation with a protein cream cheese frosting (meet your New Year's protein goals and enjoy fermented goodness all in one).

If you loved them (or have yet to try them), why not make them at home. I also have a bundle with starter and sticky buns for those interested in starting their sourdough journey - if you're local feel free to get yours off Etsy from me).

Happy New Year, friends!

Indie Bo is 4. 🎈

Our big girl has the sweetest soul with a side of sass that will take her so far. She’s smart, hilarious, full of s***k, and down for any adventure.

Her favorite first words every morning are, “What are we doing today?” (I know where she gets it). And movement is life.

Find Indie splashing and climbing at forest school, tearing up the mat at jiu jitsu, baking up a sourdough storm with mama in the kitchen, playing tag with her buds, hanging by big bonfires, riding on the paddle board, playing in the snow, listening to her sister read books, or sucking that sweet thumb with my hair in her hand.

This year was a big one for Indie. She’s loving half days at school 5 days a week. We wrapped up our breastfeeding journey. She’s building special friendship bonds. She embraces long hikes and rips on her scooter. She speaks her mind in ways I wish I did at her age. And she has us doubled over laughing multiple times a day with her wit.

Happy birthday, Indie Bo. We sure love you so. ✨

IMMERSE ✨

Each year on New Year’s Eve, we gather around a bonfire and set intentions for the year ahead. We chop up our Christmas tree, write down intentions, and with each toss of a branch, we add a slip of paper and watch it light up. And tonight will be no different.

It’s a tradition that we look forward to, and it’s not surprising that with a little extra intention spent setting intentions as a family around the fire, they seem to stick in a profound way all year long. The girls can still look back to last year and remember theirs, and with each passing year, the ones they set become more profound… though Indie’s seemingly simple 2025 intention to host friends often in our backyard sure hit home this past year.

This year, I am leaning into the word IMMERSE.

The mamas reading this can likely relate to the pressure of the never-ending to-do list, the constant logistical stream of consciousness on loop in the back of our brains, and the feeling that the tasks are never actually complete.

With all that noise, it can be hard for me to fully immerse in the simple moments. Often, my brain is partially in the moment and partially taking inventory of what’s next.. “What’s for dinner? Have we done a reading lesson today? Did I answer that email? I forgot to send off that Etsy order. What trip should we take this spring?”

My goal this year is to try to immerse myself more in the little things. To sit in the moment when Evie’s reading to me. To let myself doze next to Indie when she needs an afternoon rest. To trust that dinner will sort itself out. To (gasp) multitask less.

It’s going to be a powerful lesson in trust with a powerful dose of surrender, but I can do hard things… especially with the outcome will bring much more ease.

The days feel long sometimes, but the years go by so damn fast. I hope that with a little more immersion, I can slow them down and soak in and savor the simple moments.

I’d love to read your intention below!

December in Victoria brings a special kind of joy 🇨🇦✨🎄

Grateful for a family adventure, complete with coffee shops, pastry bliss, book shop browsing, museum fun, incredible eats, family card games, holiday magic, and miles and miles of exploring the city on foot (and shoulders).

It’s sure a gift to have such a special place just a ferry ride away and to have girls who love adventure as much as their parents do.

Until next time, Victoria ✌🏻

You can find our favorite stops on my searchable map or peek the Victoria highlight in my bio for it all.

Festive fun for the books. 🎄

This Christmas week was filled with wonderful friends, good food, outdoor exploring, ice skating, fireside games, and just the cozy slowdown we needed.

Grateful for the many core memories made and for four very happy hearts. ✨

Now, we’re off to Victoria for family fun and even more festivus.

Oh so very merry 🎄

Wishing you love, joy, growth, good food, connection, and a full cup today and all through the new year ahead.

From our family to you and yours ✨

Cherishing this annual photo by extra this year and feeling acutely aware that we might not have many years of this shot left. They’re growing so fast, and time is so damn wild.

Setting an intention to be as present as possible and to take time to pause to notice the sweet simple daily moments, today and in the year(s) ahead. Days are long. Years are short. Heart is full.

We see you winter ❄️

We’re just a couple days away from winter solstice, which for us, means a shift to a slower pace, soul-warming foods, and bundled up time outdoors soaking in the seasonal shift that brings endless moody beauty in this place we call home.

It took me a bit to embrace the extra long nights up here through winter, but with each pacing year, I go further beyond just acceptance and lean hard into appreciation.

So on Sunday, as we gather around a solstice fire with friends to share our favorite winter dishes and intentions for the season ahead, I’ll look forward to more cozy nights at home, extra sleep, a serious slowdown, snow play, brisk hikes, and the peace in knowing the days just get longer from here.

My winter intention: presence.

What’s yours?

Sometimes I can still hardly believe how lucky I am to be their mama. This life is so beautiful. ✨
