The Family Graham

Cookies are my absolute favourite treat on earth.  When I was pregnant both times, every Saturday I would walk up to our local bakery and get myself my favourite Nutella biscotti.  To this day when I have them, I think of my belly and my babies.  I half joke that the girls were built on biscotti.  Foods hold such special memories, don’t they?

Second only to fall apple picking, spending the day in the strawberry field is my favourite harvest-y thing to do with my girls. The girls absolute love it, too. Goldie loves treating the patch like an all-you-can-eat buffet while Bea likes picking out the “perfect” berries for her basket.  We’ve been visiting Butt’s Berry Farm just outside of Guelph, ON for a few years now and I highly recommend them if you’re in the area. 

I’ve been wanting to update our kitchen since we bought our cottage almost 6 years ago.  I love the pine cupboards and the layout is functional, but the countertops, backsplash and hardware made the space feel dated, dark and dingy.  I knew a few changes would make a big impact so we made a plan and got to work. 

Here we go with the breakdown of our experience with the app and Genie+ how we did the park, managed our time and energy levels, what we brought for the day and a quick review of the rides we loved!

Trying to plan our first Disney trip felt like showing up to the last day of school trying to write an exam when I hadn’t attended a single class.  There is So.Much.To.Learn. But I’m here to tell you while the overwhelm can be real, it is all completely figure-out-able!

Hi, hi, hiiii!! It’s certainly been a while since I’ve shared here on the site, and I’ve truly missed it.  After a bit of an unintentional hiatus, so many of you checked in with me (and RG!) to see how we are doing which was so lovely and appreciated.  So, I figured it was a good time to share a little Family Graham update.
