Co-parenting is not easy but it’s all worth it for her and at the end of the day we are better for it. Proud of the resilience I continue to see in our little ones. Happy first day back to all of the families out there 🖤

Celebrating the long weekend from home this year?

Celebrating the long weekend from home this year? Same. I pulled together this tablescape with a DIY tablecloth from Fabric Land, grocery store flowers, $1 store vases and a few odds and ends from around the house! It just goes to show, you can host beautifully on a budget. If you're feeling up to a last-minute hang at your place this #LabourDay weekend, read on for my tips and tricks, bound to impress even your biggest critics (aka your family 😅). I even levelled up our setup with a vegan-friendly, gluten free + dairy free masterpiece of a cake with edible flowers from @organic_bytes_cakes ✨ 1) Go for finger foods that are not only easy to make but easy for people to pick up. This massive sandwich is layered with mixed deli meats, double cheese and muffuletta between two slices of fresh @fornocultura bread. I make a bunch of these XL sammies and cut them into 4-6 individual sandwiches for people to grab and enjoy. These also make for tasty edible statement pieces on your table 🤠 2) Always buy more ice than you think! Since there's not enough space in your freezer to stock bags and bags of ice, purchase your ice an hour or so before your gathering and load up the bags into coolers in your garage or a cool dark place until you're ready to hit the ground running! I also recommend dumping ice into one large cooler and throwing in a bunch of cans of soda/mixers, and don't forget to throw in a few water bottles. 3) Overbuy alcohol because if you don't already know, you can always return unopened alc to the LCBO. It's always better to have more on hand, especially on holidays since the LCBO is closed! Save this post to reference these tips during your next occasion! How are you spending #LabourDayWeekend?

Right when you’re about to give up on humanity,

Right when you’re about to give up on humanity, humans surprise you and all faith is restored. Sometimes it doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes your friend calls you up and says he wants to make sure as many kids who need help getting prepared for school get that help and you just get to work. Sometimes community comes together and shows up for each other because we know intrinsically in our souls that it’s all that matters. Thank you @djcharlieb for constantly reaching back and leading by example. You are forever a reminder to us all that kindness isn’t complicated. Thank you to everyone who hopped on to help after a simple Instagram story, especially @nickfreda who quickly collected funds (and used his own money) to buy iPads to give away at each neighborhood. To @6ixbuzztv and @flow935to for helping to spread the word and @kayla_grey @bakanotnice @repsupgilla for sparkling their celeb status on this beautiful day ♥️
