Well, I’m officially thirty! And in the words of Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on Thirty… I’m thirty, flirty and thriving! While I am not too sure if I would use those exact words to describe how I feel about turning thirty, entering into a new decade sure has made me feel a mix of emotions. I am a bit teary eyed that I can no longer describe myself as a “20-something”, but at the same time, I am looking forward to experiencing a new chapter in my life. 30 is the new 20 anyways, right?
Read MoreMy January Favourites
Some of my favourite blog posts to read are monthly favourites. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a curious and nosy person, but I love knowing what everyone is enjoying. Whether it’s a specific skincare product or makeup item, or favourite book/tv show, I’m always looking to try new things that I can incorporate into my daily life. When I come across something I really love, I just feel the need to share! So here are some of my favourite things from this month!
Read MoreMy 2021 Word of the Year
Wow – what a whirlwind the past year has been. Who would have thought that shortly into the year 2020 that our entire world would suddenly come to a halt and change our everyday way of life? And how did this year already go by so fast? I swear this year zoomed by and I have no idea how because every day for the last 10 months since the world shutdown has felt like Groundhog Day. Living in lockdown and in isolation is definitely not how I expected my life to look for the majority of the year. However, despite the uncontrollable circumstances of the past year, looking back I was still able to experience some highlights as well.
Read MoreDIY Wood Sign
I feel like I’ve been a busy little elf in my workshop (aka my garage) making various diy signs to give as Christmas gifts to my friends and family. Now that I have made a couple, I thought I would share with you how I make them! These are quite simple to make and are a great project for anyone wanting to add a custom piece to their home or to give as a gift. There is no need to buy overpriced signs any longer when you can make your own!
Read MoreHow to Spend 10 Days in New Brunswick and PEI
One of my favourite places to visit and explore is the East Coast of Canada. A few years ago, I got to experience it for the first time when I planned a trip to Nova Scotia (which you can read about here and here). It was the trip of a lifetime and I couldn’t wait to go back. Well, I finally did, but this time I decided to explore New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island over ten days which was an equally amazing trip.
Joel and I went at the start of September 2019 and spent a total of 10 days (yes I know this blog post is way overdue…#bloggerfail). We saw some amazing sights, including the Hopewell Rocks and the Fundy Trail Parkway. There was so much to see and do!
I hope to share with you some helpful tips and must-see places to visit if you are also planning a trip to NB or PEI, and if you’re not planning a trip anytime soon, I hope you enjoy following along our adventures!
Read MoreEnsuite Bathroom Makeover
If you’ve been following me for a while then you know that I’ve already attempted to update our ensuite bathroom last year with some of my DIY skills… I painted the vanity, the walls, and the floor (yes… I even painted my bathroom floor!). Well, surprisingly things held up for the most part over the past year… but I just wasn’t in love with it. I always knew that my DIY fixes were only for the short-term until we would decide to invest in some further upgrades. Well, this past month it was our main project to update (for a second time!) our ensuite bathroom… and I promise you this time it’s staying like this!
Read MoreDIY Concrete Pumpkins
The fall season is nearly here and I couldn’t be happier… seriously… as soon as the end of August hits, I’m already planning how I’m going to decorate. I know it’s a tad early to start decorating, but I recently discovered the concrete pumpkin trend and I knew I had to give it a shot. I absolutely loved how these turned out and I wanted to share with you all how I made these adorable pumpkins! These would look so cute on a front porch or even styled on a dining room table – they are very versatile! So keep reading to see how I made these!

Read More12 Free Halloween Fonts
The fall season is one of my favourite seasons to decorate for, especially for Halloween. I love the colours, the smells, the pumpkins… I even love the tacky halloween decorations! Seriously, they made my childhood! With that said, I have already started decorating for the change in season – I know it’s early, but I just can’t help it!
One of my favourite ways to decorate is by making seasonal signs to display throughout my home. I recently shared on my instagram (@always_amy_) how I took a slightly tacky sign from the dollar store and gave it a new look with some spooky fonts and my Cricut machine. While I was searching for different fonts, I came across so many free options that you can use all throughout the season – and did I mention they are FREE? So I decided to round up some of my favourites and put them all together in one place for you to use. These would be perfect to use with a vinyl machine, like a Circuit or Silhouette Cameo (if you have one), or even to make spooky prints, invitations, signs… the list goes on!
