Miss Amalia Hope walking into Sunday school🥹💖!!!

I remember a few years ago before the teaching began, the pastor instructed the kiddos to head to their Sunday school classrooms. My mom leaned over and said, “one day that will be yours!” 

Fast forward, here we are💖

One confident, happy and kind hearted baby girl running around the classroom without a care.

Grateful is an understatement. 

(I cried whenever I was left alone 😂 so I am very thankful she did not get that from me 😂🙏🏼)

We never sit still, but how can you when there is something new to see in every day.

The beauty I’m learning, in toddlerhood is they find the joy in almost anything.

A leaf? Won the lottery
Grocery shopping? A social event 
Walking out back? A chance to marvel at all the trees. 

Every parent knows it, but you really get a new chance to re live again when you have kids. A chance to see life for the beauty, simplicity, and pureness that it is. 

Grateful for the new vision parenthood continues to give me.

When we first brought Amalia home from the hospita When we first brought Amalia home from the hospital, we didn’t even think about sensitivities but we quickly noticed her skin was indeed sensitive, like mine and  Andrew’s 😢

We walked the aisles at Shoppers Drug Mart for a while,
browsing all the different baby wipes and it was actually a pharmacist who saw us and recommended the Huggies Natural Care Sensitive Baby Wipes. 

I’m grateful because a year later, these are still the only wipes we use, and she loves them 💛

I’ve seen the trending reels with the audio enco I’ve seen the trending reels with the audio encouraging moms to find themselves, 
“You gotta find you again. Not mom you or wife you, just you, sis” 
I love the trend- but what that audio doesn’t mention, is to find “you” you have to embrace that “mom you” is a new you. 

There is a term for the concept behind this new you. 
It’s called Matrescence.

Similar to how adolescence is a teenager's transition into adulthood, 
matrescence is a woman's transition into motherhood (welcoming all the physical, psychological and hormonal change that come with it.)

A name besides motherhood makes me feel as though mothers are being seen. 
We’re being seen for all that encompasses the journey of matrescence. 

So while finding “you”. 
Seek comfort in the knowledge that the you you find, isn’t going to be the old you. 
It may take time to get used to. 

You didn’t “bounce back”. How could you bounce back from all that you’ve been through?

Instead you’ve bounced up, 
and entered an entirely new, incredible, messy, overly stimulated, loving and rewarding new chapter. 

Welcome, you’re in matrescence ✨

From sipping bone broth to browsing the different From sipping bone broth to browsing the different collagen powders at @shoppersdrugmart- I’ll try it all for some extra collagen. 
But did you know to look for specific numbers when looking at collagen powders?

 NeoCell® Super CollagenTM is made up of hydrolyzed collagen peptides type 1 & 3. The types that make up 90% of the body’s total collagen supply. 

The body’s natural collagen production typically slows with age - lucky us😢😂 
With the help of Super CollagenTM it provides us with some of the amino acids our body needs to support the healthy synthesis of the collagen proteins in our hair, skin and nails. 

And the Lysol ® Disinfecting Wipes help to keep my counters clean, furniture sticky free, and quick wipe downs wherever we go- killing 99.9% of viruses and bacteria. 
The same Lysol protection is now fully biodegradable in home and municipal compost.(check  locally as appropriate municipal composting, facilities may not exist in your area)
 
Don’t forget from August 13th - September 9th Shoppers Drug Mart is hosting the Celebrating 60 Contest.

Shop Skin Care

PreCleanse- Dermalogica

The Ordinary – Hyaluronic Acid (combats dryness, fine lines and wrinkles. Apply in morning or evening to freshly cleansed face, neck and chest.)

Sephora – Vitamin C & E serum (combats dark spots, fine lines, wrinkles & dryness). Apply in the morning to clean skin, on face neck and chest.

Dermalogica – Intensive Moisture Balance (extra hydration, to lock in skins moisture content. I prefer for winter use).

Josie Maran – Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter (love this for the summer. A lightweight oil powered cream helps to lock in moisture and leave your skin silky smooth. I wouldn’t recommend this for winter use if you are prone to extra dry skin.)

Josie Maran – 100% Pure Argan Oil (leaves skin, nails and hair silky smooth. I apply morning and night after cream, or mixed together with my cream. I apply this both in the summer and winter!)

Sephora – Brightening Eye Cream (rich in hyaluronic acid and caffeine, this eye cream helps to not only prevent and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, but it also helps to depuff and increase moisture retention.)

Laneige – Water Sleeping Mask (amazing for those dry nights. Apply to face, neck and chest after you’ve cleansed and moisturized. Wash off in the morning.)

Laneige – Eye Sleeping Mask (our face isn’t the only area that needs masking. This eye sleeping mask is phenomenal. It not only feels incredible when applying thanks to the applicator, but it helps to keep your fine lines at bay.) Apply at night after cleansing & eye cream is applied.)

Laneige – Lip Sleeping Mask (Gummy Bear scent – highly recommend! Has a beautiful gentle pink tinge to it, making it the perfect mask to throw in your purse and apply throughout the day, or at night!)

Ultra Repair Cream and Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Oil. This combination saved my skin this spring. I was getting extremely dry and reacting to my Dermalogica cream. The Ultra Repair Cream is incredible and instantly soothed my irritated, dry skin. For anyone suffering from dry skin – or eczema I cannot recommend this cream enough!
The Oil is extremely light weight and soaks in quickly. Its beautiful under foundations as well, leaving you with the perfect application.
