The World is a Playground

Fall is upon us! Pumpkin everything is everywhere and Halloween decorations are popping up. I recently received an email from Davids Tea about their new collection and I'm in LOVE. 

I feel like I've tried almost every brand of children's clothing - some are made small, made large, made cheap. My favourite is usually Carters/OshKosh. But a new brand was released and I see myself becoming obsessed with it! They have baby and toddler sizes so both my girls will be dressed in it.

Rise Little Earthling has been released by Toys R Us in Canada and it's perfect - modern but classic, soft cotton material, high quality, great colours, priced reasonably, and I find they run large which I love since both my girls are big. 

Beach season is upon us! I love being at the beach. There's something so peaceful but re-energizing when your feet are in the hot sand and you're watching the water. It also brings me back to my childhood since we spent a lot of time at trailers, cottages, and just day trips to the nearby beach. 

Even before having kids, I've always been an organized person, so what I pack in my beach bag now isn't too different from before kids. 

I'm so looking forward to spring weather and all that comes with it - open windows, sunshine, flowers blooming, iced tea, popsicles. Plus spring is not TOO hot, because summer weather can make me irritable. 

Did you know you should change your skincare and makeup routine when the weather changes? Start using lighter moisturizers, wear SPF (you really should all year, but most people don't), and use lighter makeup products. 

I've stopped using my night cream since I was finding it too heavy as our evenings have been warming up. I also switched from my normal Skin Twin foundation to the Dew Skin, which is a tinted moisturizer with SPF. It feels so much lighter on my skin and I love that I can head outside with Emma and know I have sun protection on my face. 

Spring is here. But not really. We got dumped on with snow again a couple of days ago. Our world looked like a snow globe all day. I think Emma was the only one thrilled about this turn of events in our household. Oh, and I guess the dog too. 

Do you use whatever bar of soap you have in your shower or near your bathroom sink to wash your face?
