Father’s Day Musings on Stepping Up, Sleep and Savings!
When you start a family of your own, Father’s Day takes on so much more meaning. It of course provides fresh perspective and makes you appreciate the sacrifices your own father figures made to raise you and give you the life you’ve had, but it also forces you to step back and value your own spouse or companion for the job they do every day to raise your kids.
Being a twin mom means you usually appreciate the idea of partnership in parenthood a bit earlier on. One person just doesn’t have enough limbs to simultaneously tackle bedtime, bathing, feeding and diapering two babies. You quickly learn to rely on your significant other to carry a heavy, if not equal load, and as your kids get older, even more crucial is the learned skill of balancing your own schedules so that each parent has time to focus on themselves as well.

Trend Watch: Pastels
Last week I was asked to give a presentation on some of the latest design trends at a fundraiser for The Canadian Shaare Zedek Hospital Foundation. While a trend talk is always a fun way to organize a lot of the inspiring visuals and products around me, I always have to preface any presentation with the fact that good style is timeless and to beware of jumping too hard on to any trend bandwagon.
Because my personal style is more eclectic, I often get enamored with the latest colours and motifs, but I am careful to indulge only in smaller hits of them while staying true to the more traditional foundation that grounds my aesthetic.
