Every. Child. Matters. We need to start a convers

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

As parents, we all struggle with getting our kids

As parents, we all struggle with getting our kids to eat and this article could not come at a better time for me! My daughter is currently testing her boundaries regarding food and eating her meals and I learned a lot from @rejoicenutritionwellness with this article.

In part 2 of our series, Joanna dives into how to help your child develop a healthy relationship with food and how to set healthy boundaries around getting you kids to try new foods but also how to listen to their bodies and know their hunger cues.

This is a must read article for parents with children of every age! So if you are struggling with getting your children to be healthy eaters, check out the #linkinbio

Let’s talk family vehicles for a second

For the last 7-1/2 years we have been driving around a #chevytrax and I absolutely love the Trax but as a family of 3 we were feeling very cramped and road trips in that car (we love road trips) were becoming very uncomfortable for all of us!

So, we were recently given the opportunity to purchase Shawns grandpas #chevytahoe so of course we jumped at the chance and I am not upset by our decision. It is so spacious and will fit our growing families needs in the coming years! @chevroletcanada sure makes some nice vehicles y’all!

Guys!! I have found the holy grail of shampoo and conditioner! I was recently #gifted some products from @functionofbeauty and I have to say I AM IN LOVE with these products! My hair is soft and such amazing curls

I love that you can customize your hair care products to what your needs are. I wanted softer hair with less frizz AND I was even able to have products made specifically for curly hair. I also really like how you can customize the everything about your products from picking what colour you want to picking your scent; and you can picky how much scent is in your products.

I am so pumped about my hair lately and if you have curly hair you know it’s not easy to find products that work for you but being able to customize to your needs is an amazing way to get the products right for your hair type
