And just like that, our princess turns four! Mairi brings immeasurable light and love into our lives; her fierceness and drive is as obvious as her kind heart. Our girl is going places! But for now, we look forward to another year of impromptu dance parties, bedroom beauty salon and snuggling each night while listening to “Anne, please”. Our dear girl, here’s to four - we love you!! 🎉🎈 . . . . #birthdaygirl #fourtoday #princess #mygirl #canadianblogger #familyblogger #childrenofig #theyoungs #smallbutmighty #letthembelittle #ohtheplacesyoullgo #littleprincess #myboldhues #birthday #birthdaylove #everythingpink

Bloom. Sometimes coming up with New Years resolutions speaks to me and others, like this year, a single word to focus on feels like a better fit. It took me awhile to settle into this year’s word. I wanted it to be really fitting, inspiring and equally, obtainable. I wanted it to push me from start to finish through 2019. Bloom is exactly what I’m feeling for the year ahead. I’ve worked hard, I’ve sacrificed a lot and admittedly I’ve also played it fairly safe. That wasn’t a bad thing. I was nurturing my passion; letting solid roots take form. Now I’m firmly planted in what I know I want and am feeling called to do. So it’s time to bloom. Easier said than done some days (most days), but focusing on growing allows for beautiful things to take shape. I may be late to the kick-off, but here’s to an amazing year ahead! 🌱🌷#bloom . . . #lessonsfromnature #growing #littlebeginnings #theyoungs #familyblogger #alettertomyself #2019 #wordoftheyear #canadianblogger #canadianyoutuber

My thoughts on 2018 will be shared soon enough, but for now - here’s the cutest boy ringing in 2019. From our family to yours, we wish the very best of whatever you hold hope for in the new year to come! #newyearseve
A lot of our Christmas has been spent watching this little artist do his thing and it makes my heart so happy! 🎨
For the first time ever, we are enjoying a slow Christmas. I won’t pretend this was initially intentional. Rather, it was out of pure necessity that I started saying no and doing less than I always have. It was a huge awakening for me. It started with not mailing cards; I initially felt bad, but then by not having to do that task I freed up time and reduced stress. It felt good. I kept gift giving simple, yet meaningful. And baking, well we made one thing Christmas Eve day and it was fun, rather then an obligation. The lesson for me found over the last few weeks is that Christmas came together, as it always does and it was perfect. In fact, the best yet. I’m carrying this experience with me in the days, weeks and months to come. I’m keeping 2019 simple. I’ve already given myself time off from emailing, replying and feeling the need to produce content - so that I can start the new year recharged. I’ve traded Boxing Day shopping for walks and hangouts with my family and it’s pure bliss. I’ll be sharing this journey as I work toward increased simplicity and hope it’ll be another way I can connect my family with yours - but for now, I hope you’re enjoying the last of this holiday season with great company, R&R and fun!
Santa did well! 🎅🏻🎁 Hudson’s @jimurobot has been a hands-on, educational and (most importantly) fun project for everyone! I can not recommend the Overdrive Kit enough! . . . #stem #stemkids #jimurobot #coding #codingkids #stemlearning #stemeducation #codingrobot #learning #familyfun #familyyoutubers #christmas2018 #alongwiththeyoungs #momlife #family #christmasgifts
Merry Christmas Eve! We made it to mass (and were especially proud of Loic for performing in the nativity, choir and reading), skipped over to Meme & Boppy’s for supper and then went on to Rob’s brother’s for evening visiting. It’s late, the kids are having a sleepover in the family room and our hearts are full. ❤️🎄 . . . #merrychristmas #tistheseason #cutekids #threekids #momlife #family #novascotia #motherhoodunited #childrenofig #theyoungs #theyoungfamily #myloves #christmas2018 #christmaseve
Holiday break is in full swing over here! With some more shopping done and our Christmas grocery order complete - we hit the pool to let the kids burn off some energy (especially needed this time of year 😉)! . . . #christmas2018 #motherhoodunited #novascotia #novascotiablogger #canadianblogger #merrychristmas #tistheseason #childhoodmemories #waterbabies #childrenofig #familyblogger
Big thank you to some of our favourite toy brands for working with us to pass along a bit of the kindness they show our kids, to children in need this Christmas. Loic dropped off all these amazing gifts yesterday! 🎁 #tistheseason #merrychristmas
Our dear boy is six today. There is something about Loic that everyone who meets him picks up on. He’s as loving and gentle as he is silly and wild. His eyes are as big as his smile and he’s our daily dose of sunshine. Forever grateful to call him ours, here’s to another fabulous year! 🎈 #birthdayboy #myboy
We’ve added some new pieces to our existing Christmas decor this year and it has added such a nice spruce up! Several of the new items are from @christmas_central and we couldn’t be more pleased! Their selection is HUGE and priced better than I’ve found elsewhere. Psst - they have gorgeous products for year round! 🎄 #ad #christmasdecorations #christmasdecor #cozy
Still have people on your list to shop for (who doesn’t?) There’s something extra special about giving personalized gifts! We have fallen down the rabbit hole with @pmallgifts amazing selection of products (and know you will too)! For all the special people on our shopping list this year we have found the perfect gift idea that we know will be an annual tradition (check out our YouTube video to see what it is)! For us and our home, we have some beautiful new home decor pieces that timeless and have become instant heirlooms (see our blog post for specifics)! #ad #pmallgifts #personalizationmall . . . #christmas #christmas2018 #christmasgifts #personalizedgifts #holiday #smalldetails #smalldetailsmatter #novascotiablogger #canadianblogger #familyblogger #gnome #festive
