'Tis the Season to be jolly!
Another year has come and gone. And this past year hit different.
Thinking back over the year to important milestones,
funny mishaps, hard lessons learned,
things that made us smile, laugh, cry, stop & think.
~ These are our favorite memories of the year ~
- Island Life. A year has come and gone and the move to the island is absolutely everything we expected and hoped for. Beach walks along the ocean. Trees as tall as the sky. Ocean sunrise. Ocean sunset. Even the rhythm of daily life vibes differently here. Yes, it does sound pretty dreamy, but it really is. Come visit!
- Bella turned sweet 16 and started driving. They call it a learner's license for a reason; she might be that reason. We are super proud, however, stay off the sidewalks ...
- Offline. First family vacation: post-pandemic travel restrictions. Tofino! Beach on repeat + cozy cabin in the woods + tacos, tacos, tacos ( if you know, you know) + fire pit barbeques = many memories made.
- Christmas 2020 was celebrated in July at Wakaw Lake, SK. The best gift a grandparent can receive is togetherness. Goodbye virtual hugs, it's time for reconnecting. Family is essential.
- We couldn't let a summer go by without a visit to the Okanagan. We missed our friendships, people. Life is better with friends! And what a wonderful welcome back it was.
- The runway is back! Bella walks at Vancouver Fashion Week SS22 and attends Faces West Model Convention in November where she places first in Sports Runway Competition.
- Hockey is back! "It's good to be back at the rink again" - said every hockey mom this season. Brax travels on a team bus, away from home, without mom. They forget to tell you that the hardest part of motherhood is when your youngest kid grows up.
- After being laid off twice, Jaime returned back to work at Air Canada. Hello/Bonjour!
- Team BC brings home gold. Jason attended the WHL cup as lead evaluator & video coach for Team BC. I must admit, he looks pretty damn good holding trophies. Canada Winter Games 2023?!
- We are surviving a world pandemic; physically, mentally & spiritually. What. A. Wild. Ride. Some moments were rough, however, some moments were not. We are healthy. We are safe. We are happy. We are right where we are meant to be; where everything feels right.
It's not about how many times you fall,
it's about how many times you get back up.
Officer: "Yeah, that's not how a field sobriety test works ..."
Cheers to you & yours this Christmas & always!

No nerves, only excitement.
Teen approved selfie!
Ready to sit front row and beem pride for my girl.
The Afterglow.
Tired feet. Emotions high. Heart bursting.
Pride is an understatement.
I love being her mom; for so many reasons.
I will always sit front row. I will always be her plus one.
And I will always be her biggest fan.
Moments and memories are forever.
Although, sometimes forever doesn't seem long enough.
Here I am, holding on to the afterglow.

Happy 15th Birthday Braxton
This guy: personality at it’s finest.
Never a dull day, always putting smiles on faces.
He is just … always HAPPY!
It’s perfectly fitting for this guy to share
his birthday with Canadian Thanksgiving
because we are super grateful for him.
Happy 15th Birthday to this Turkey!

I couldn't let summer go by without a visit to the Okanagan.
☀️ Friendships, wineries, sunsets. ☀️
Work hard, play harder.
Cheers to my first summer search with the modelling agency.

Christmas in July 2021 - Wakaw Lake, SK
No santa, no tree; family, campfire & crowded cabin is all you need!
The greatest gift of all grandparents can receive is togetherness.
Goodbye virtual hugs & time spent so far apart,
the time is now for reconnecting.

It's been one hell of a year, however this birthday

Road Trip
Road Trippin
⛴ 🗺 🚘
Business brought us back to the Okanagan.
Which then lead us to an essential visit
with some of our favourites.
Safely.
I missed you too!
❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
Small Outdoor Gatherings
We followed the rules so we could soak up
some much required human connection.
Friendship is one of the most important things
one can invest in life.
Incredibly thankful for these beautiful humans making the time.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
And that's a wrap.
It was emotional, exhausting and therapeutic.
Much needed getaway to mix up the routine of living
in a continued pandemic.
