One of my favourite activities pre-pandemic was thrifting. The thrill of the find, the adventure of the search, and the pride of a great score. I am so happy to finally be back at it again! Even more fun and fulfilling when personal shopping for others. 🤍🛍🖤 #thriftedinottawa #bossmamathrifters #bossmamadiaries #thrillofthethrift #ontariothrift #ottawathrift #almontethrifting #ottawamom

PLOT TWIST! I know those grass shoots look so neutral and cozy, but it’s actually the certificate of membership to the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC) because it’s only earned with talent and skill rather than the annual fee. Merit awards are so much more meaningful and filled with pride. ps: it’s NOT ridiculous if it makes you happy 🤎 #ottawaphotographer #almontephotographer #ottawanewbornphotographer #professionalphotographersofcanada #ppocaccreditedphotographer #accreditedphotographer #ontariophotographer

Teaching kiddos that invasive species can still have a purpose, and to use it as best you can (even if that means tearing it down to build wreaths or letting it grow as a privacy screen). Spending time outdoors doesn’t have to be hard or boring, nor does it have to be complicated 🍂 FOLLOW for more daily wins and struggles of being a work from home boss raising babies and businesses at the same time 👌🏻 #1000hoursoutside #raisingindependentkids #fallinontario #creepingvirginiavines #DIYwreaths #handmadewreath

We were prepared again this year with our letterboard for little miss to go out on her first trick or treating trip to actually collect some goodies. At the treat station, we had nut-free snacks, themed stickers for the littles, and useful “toys” for the older allergy kiddos. Hopefully next year we get more visitors 🤞🏻🎃👻 #happyhalloween2022 #almonteontario #bossmamadiaries #allergymama #tealpumpkinproject #nutfreehalloween ps: shout out to @dempstersbakery for the gifted decorations and non-food goodies 🫶🏻

Our first group outing as a family was nothing short of stressful, but oh so nice to be able to see family members that we haven’t seen in months (some years!). We wore masks in group settings to be extra cautious, and took advantage to dress up for some cute family photos. Bonus that the weather was beautiful that day and perfect for a wedding and an evening at the park for kiddos ☀️

I cannot believe little miss will be starting school next year! I guess I can’t call her a toddler anymore. Officially introducing my preschooler 🎒📚✏️

Little miss is so proud of her garden yield this year. The tomato plant did exceptionally well and made up for the teeny time brussel sprouts and failed pumpkin. Deliciously yummy and has us excited for next year!
