As a new mom, I know all too well what it feels like to pour from an empty cup. There is seemingly always more to do, and it's easy to put yourself at the bottom of the list. A simple ritual—whether it's taking a shower, enjoying a relaxing bath, or treating yourself to a full-body sugar scrub—can be a gentle reminder to slow down and care for yourself. Self-care doesn't have to be elaborate or time-consuming. Even just a few intentional moments can help you feel more grounded, refreshed, and ready to take on the day. That's exactly why I created our Self-Care Boxes: to make it easy to carve out a little time for yourself. Because you deserve the...
This morning, I managed to squeeze in a little bit of time for a garden harvest. My oregano has been in flower for a few days and I felt it was "go-time". The small purple-ish, pink flowers were looking abundant and beautiful. It's the first year that I've felt that the oregano has put out such a generous amount. I think it's because my chives have all but disappeared. Has this happened to you? Of course, I can google or ask AI, but it does feel rather strange to have an entire patch of chives essentially go missing from the garden. I also snipped a bouquet of sage which is very much abundant right now. I didn't get to clip...

This morning I went for a walk at the Arboretum. They have a small collection of roses there and I meandered through them. There is one bush of pink roses that is in bloom right now and all of the bees were boisterously bobbing from one bloom to the next seeking their beloved pollen. It reminded me of my visit to Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC this past June. If you have the opportunity to visit at that time of year, you'll find the rose garden in full bloom. And it is magnificent. The sheer abundance of types is awe-inspiring. They are all so well loved and cared for. It is truly a special experience to walk through and discover...
