We spent the morning at @kangaroocreekfarmkelowna and what an amazing experience it was

We were able to pet and feed the kangaroos, see some wallaby’s, walk with the goats. There are so many different animals to see. This is definitely a must on our family vacation to the Okanagan from now on!

This year Canada Day looks and feels very different for many of us. Today my family is wearing orange in solidarity with my Indigenous brothers and sisters. As a Métis, I have always known residential schools existed but 1500+ can no longer be ignored. Today I mourn and grieve for all those precious little ones who didn’t make it home to their families and for those survivors who struggle with the trauma left behind from these “schools.”

My heart is heavy this morning. It is filled with dread for the day to come. A press conference from Cowessess First Nation is set for later this morning. This is going to be the biggest discovery to date. Kamloops was just the tip of the iceberg but nothing can ever prepare you for announcements like what is coming today, and out of respect for the victims, I will be absent from social media for the next day or so.
🧡
If you are struggling with the news, please reach out. There are many different organizations to talk to. If you are a residential school survivor or are family of a residential school survivor in Alberta, call 1-866-925-4419. It is a 24/7 crisis line

Every. Child. Matters.

We need to start a conversation friends. We need to talk about residential schools in Canada. How many of us were taught about residential schools in school? I know I was never taught about it. Hands up if you didn’t know that the last residential school to close in Canada was in Saskatchewan in 1996?

I think when people hear ‘residential schools’ they think about something that happened in Canada many moons ago but to learn that the last residential school was closed in 1996 is so disheartening. My ancestors were extremely lucky and were never taken to a residential school but I know my family tree could look a lot differently. Every time I think about that it shakes me.

Instead of telling Indigenous People to ‘get over it,’ start asking questions. Educate yourself so that you can educate your children. This dark time in Canada’s history needs to be talked about.

These 215 lives were STOLEN. They were stolen from their families. We need more education. Please talk to your children about this important subject.

And please, if you are struggling with the recent news of the 215 children lost, please seek out someone to talk to. 🧡🧡

I pray these 215 souls can finally find some peace on the other side.

Taking a rare afternoon to enjoy this beautiful weather. The last 2 weeks have seriously been a whirlwind for my family so I am taking advantage of this beautiful day to slow down and reset.

How are you enjoying this gorgeous weekend?

Ok y’all. You may have noticed I’ve been MIA recently. It has been a whirlwind of a week!

On Monday my grandma was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Edmonton with what was thought to be a bladder infection or possibly a stroke (I know, it may sound weird to have these two be considered the diagnosis but a UTI can present in a similar way as a stroke in elderly patients) but what we heard next was what any of us least expected...she has a brain tumour. We were all stunned as she was really showing any symptoms and she suddenly start having speech issues on Sunday, which is what prompted the 911 call.

It has progressed very rapidly over the past few days and we are now waiting for a bed in hospice/palliative care. Prognosis is maximum 3 months but I don’t think we have that much time with her.

These pictures are from the last time my grandma got to see my daughter, one month ago. One month ago she seemed “normal” and healthy, how quickly this progresses.

So, if I’m not as active as usual, it is because I am busy helping my mom with arrangements and spending time with my grandma.

The last few days have been....interesting to say

The last few days have been....interesting to say the least. Wednesday evening I started feeling some palpitations almost like I would have extra heart beats. Thursday it continued on all day long so we decided Thursday night that I should go get checked out in the ER. Thankfully nothing was showing up on my heart tracing in the hospital but the doctor did want me to have a 24 hour test done to make sure they weren’t missing anything

Friday I called to set up an appointment to get my holter monitor and luckily they had a cancellation for that afternoon! So yesterday I went and got hooked up to this little guy that has been monitoring my heart for the last 24 hours. I am unbelievably grateful they got me in so quickly because if they hadn’t had that cancellation I would have had to wait until June to have this done!

I’m still having these palpitations and getting super dizzy and lightheaded with them. I’m hoping to have the results quickly and hopefully find out what is triggering these palpitations

Have you ever had a holter monitor done? Let me know in the comments or message me!

Today is Earth Day! But did you know that there are more ways to help our environment that just the usual things we think of like recycling, using wind or solar power, etc. Did you know there are some amazing Canadian clothing brands that are pushing sustainability practices?

One of those companies is @smashtess a Vancouver-based mother-daughter-bestie trio who launched a limited-edition S+T Sunday Shorty Romper in a west coast-inspired green, with proceeds going directly to the #centralwestcoastforestsociety
