Last year I decorated our front porch with white mums and green, blue and white pumpkins (swipe to see little Ella a year ago!). This year, I‘ve decided to use more traditional fall colours, because I love the warmth it brings and I think the girls will love it! 🍁Have you decorated your porch for fall yet? I feel like I'm so behind this year, but hoping to add the finishing touches this week.

Well, today was a productive day! Zoe headed off to her first day of senior kindergarten and Ella spent the day with her grandparents which meant I had the house to myself for 5 hours! ⁣ ⁣ I took advantage of the time to catch up on work commitments and get back into planning our next project. It's going to be an exciting one and I'll fill in once we've got everything sorted, but here's a hint...it has to do with our kitchen. ⁣ ⁣ So make sure you stay tuned because we will be sharing all of the details soon!

Today was cool and grey and it reminded me that fall is on its way. Which got me thinking about a few changes I want to make in our home this season, like maybe adding a new pillow or two to our sofa. 🤔

Ella had a tough morning today, she had her first

Ella had a tough morning today, she had her first check-up with the dentist. 🦷 She didn't quite understand why we were there and I could tell she was nervous. So, after our quick visit, we returned home and as soon as we pulled into our laneway she let out a little shout and said "Yay! Home!".It reminded me that even though she is young, she knows our home is a source of comfort for her. And that feeling of security and happiness is what we always hope to create in for our girls in our home.

Every night before we tuck the girls in and say go

Every night before we tuck the girls in and say good night we cuddle into Zoe's bed and read stories together. I absolutely love that time together as a family. It gives us the chance to connect after a busy day and helps the girls to unwind before bedtime.Over the last five years we've read a lot of good books, so today we are sharing some of our favourites on the blog, nickandalicia.com.Now, we want to know, do you have a favourite children's book? 📖

Today was sunny, but the air was cool and it reminded me that fall is on its way whether we like it or not. And even though I'm really trying to enjoy these last few weeks of summer, today made me think about a few projects we are hoping to tackle this fall. 🍂⁣ ⁣ Our kitchen is at the top of our list. We're not taking on a full kitchen renovation, but we're hoping to make a few changes that will make a big difference! ⁣ ⁣ Are you planning any home projects this fall?

It was just over three years ago that we moved Zoe

It was just over three years ago that we moved Zoe out of her nursery and into her own big girl bedroom. And you know what? I still love her bedroom just as much today as I did three years ago. It goes to show how important it is to choose classic and simple pieces for your little one's bedroom, pieces that will grow with them and won't feel dated or childish over the years to come. ⁣ ⁣ The only changes I've made to her bedroom over the past three years is switching out the stuffie on her bed and painting the nightstands from white to blue. It's always fun to think of simple and inexpensive ways to give the rooms in your home a little refresh from time to time.
