Instagram post 17871945874521840 Wow.  I set myself a goal when I started instagram earlier this year, to hit 1000 followers by the end of 2019. I cannot believe that I recently I hit 5000.  I am so grateful for all of you that made that happen and for the relationships I have built, through this strange and wonderful app.  And, I want to thank you for always being so responsive and supportive.  You have encouraged me to strive to bring content that you want to see and I am committed to doing that in 2020.  And I promise that I am going to show my face in stories at some point. I am so uncomfortable doing that, but I will eventually push through and do it.  I am taking baby steps by posting more photos of myself. What are you instagram goals for 2020?⁣

Instagram post 18113661235069597 I love to share Canadian accounts and even though my kids are practically launched, I lam fascinated watching young moms raising their kids, DIYing their homes and being real.  This is just like we were, before documenting your life was a thing and you didn’t have to look good, take photos and write about it (lol). Today, I would like to introduce you Kate-Rose of @thewilddecoelis, who with her husband Rob are lifestyle bloggers from Chester, Nova Scotia (one of my favourite spots on this earth). They just had their third baby but barely  stopped and are continuing along with their projects.  Be sure to check in on them. ⁣

Instagram post 17868897652527338 It was fun putting together this Christmas wreath.  I started with a plain boxwood wreath then added faux eucalyptus to make it a bit fuller.  Then I added some faux berries and a ribbon.  Very easy.  Mr. Polar bear can make the greetings. ⁣

Instagram post 17868531334536230 It’s just me over here, making my bed.  I take care every morning now to make sure that our bedroom from the @oneroomchallenge is made just right.  My hubby calls it the Queen’s room.  There is nothing wrong with being the queen in your own room, now is there?⁣

Instagram post 18084142132142042 My favourite thing about our kitchen renovation is the Ikea kitchen island we installed.  This is my command centre of sorts.  I can see the river and the family room while I prepare food, entertain and execute lots of home improvement projects.  The details about how we were able to fit a dishwasher, prep sink, waste and composting drawer, a drinks fridge, a microwave and tons of storage, is on the blog.  It’s absurd how much I love my island. ⁣
