This morning this sweet girl got her first invitation to a birthday party in her cubby at daycare. 🥹

This got me down a little rabbit hole reflecting on the transition to two. One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give is that it’s OKAY to need days without your toddler. Putting her in preschool two days a week and also having family who’s always willing to take her for a day when I just need a break has been the biggest gift for our family in this season.

She thrives in a school setting and gets so excited when it’s a “school” day. I get extra special quality time with our little babe. And I actually get a day to take care of ME (and our house 😉).

This doesn’t make me a bad mom or mean that I don’t love her, because trust me this girl has stolen my heart. It’s simply what’s best for our family right now and make our days together that much more enjoyable. 💛

Happy New Year 💛

I know I’m 17 days late, but I took a much needed break over the holidays to unplug from social media and just be present with our family.

Just popping on to say I’m back and excited to continue to encourage and walk alongside you all on your motherhood journey!

Happy 3 months to this serious and smiley girl!

To all my mama friends adjusting to life with two I want to encourage you that it gets easier. Every day and week. This month was all about settling back into routine again, feeling like myself again physically (post c-section), Char getting used to life with a sister and being able to soak up all the joy this little one brings to our life. 💛

Shake, spin, flip, count, seek…❄️🎄
So many fun things to do with sensory bottles!

Our Holiday Gift Bags come with your choice of our Winter Wonderland or Christmas Spirit sensory bottle. You can choose to have it pre-assembled, or disassembled to make together with your little one.

Last night I had a dream that reminded me to GIVE THANKS!

So today I’m focusing on gratitude.

I’m thankful for this beautiful family I’ve been given.

{swipe to see how Amaiya feels about her big sister 😂}

This quote {swipe right} is really hitting home for me today.

Charlotte has been fighting a cold all week and Amaiya was up all night with a stuffy nose and just wanting some extra snuggles today.

Life with two is a juggling act. Trying to split your attention between two little ones and keep up with all the daily tasks.

During Amaiya’s nap this morning I strapped her into the carrier and Char and I went and played outside raking and jumping in the leaves and soaking up the sunshine for an hour. Giving her this undivided attention is exactly what she needed.

Then we came inside and she was able to play independently while I made lunch and nursed.

I often catch myself going through my day trying to do it all. Cook, clean, give everyone my attention all at once. That simply doesn’t work and leaves my kids with only 10% of me.

Trying to be intentional about carving out little pockets of our busy day where I can be fully present and then knowing that the other times it’s okay to have a little bit of extra screen time or independent play.

🦕DINO SENSORY BIN🦖

Have a dinosaur lover at your house?! Need a fun activity for a birthday party?!

Fill up this bucket and let your kiddos explore all that’s inside…or throw it all in one of our tuff trays and let them sit right inside with the dinos!

Check out our website {link in bio} to look at everything we have for rent!

We had our last midwife appointment today and it was bitter sweet 🥰

So thankful that our little girl is healthy and growing. It’s just such a gift to watch her learn new things ever day. It’s crazy how much they change in just 6 short weeks. We think we saw her first little smile the other day! Transitioning to life with two has brought its many challenges, but it’s such a joy to raise our beautiful girls.

The 6 week mark also ends our time with midwives. So sad that our care with has ended, but they have been absolutely amazing! Both our midwives were incredible. We always felt well cared for and like we were in the best hands. Everyone was so nice and provided the best care for myself and our sweet girl. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. 💛

Time, you can slow down now!

It’s supposed to be the perfect fall day for our stroller meet up tomorrow!

Come join us for a stroll along the Ancaster rail trail. Stroller friendly path.

Meet in the back parking lot at highway 52 and powerline road at 10am. Link in bio to register.

Musical instruments are so fun for kids! But let’s be honest, the extra noise would get annoying really fast. Rent our set, let your kids have some fun exploring and making music and then send them back!

We will even include the playlist of our favourite songs we sing during our art & music class. 🎵

Would be so fun for a birthday party!

Swipe to see prices and send us a message for availability.

Hosting a party? Having a photoshoot? Why not create a back drop to capture photos of your little ones!

Comes with adjustable stand to various heights and widths, and the fabric back drop displayed. Very easy to assemble! Beautiful as is or add your own decor to match your theme.

Just want to rent the tray? No problem, we’ve got you covered!

Tuff trays are the best! They’re sturdy, have a rim around the outside and big enough to fit ~4 babies.

SENSORY BINS 👏🏻

There are so many incredible. But many of us don’t know where to start!

Our sensory play is designed for babies and toddlers to explore fully hands on. Fill up a tray and sit your little one right inside and let them EXPLORE!

For toddlers, you could also leave it in the bucket on a table. My 2.5 year old daughter LOVED playing with her Dino bucket all summer long.

Ball pits are the best, but nobody wants them in their house for too long!

One week of loving our sweet Amaiya! 💛

She was born Sept 12th at 10:20pm weighing 6lb5oz. It’s been an eventful 5 weeks (more to come on this later), but just so thankful she’s here and we’re all healthy. We’ve been soaking up all the newborn snuggles and being together as a family of four 🥰

Update on Common Moms Ancaster!

Lots of you have been asking about fall programs so here’s a little update…

I have decided to take a 12 month maternity leave with baby #2. Excited to actually enjoy a mat leave not locked in our house the entire time (Charlotte was born 2 weeks into the very first lockdown 🤪)

So sadly we are going to be taking a break from programs and events until I return. Might come back early depending on what life looks life with two little girlies, but we will have to wait and see!

Hoping to continue offering some free events throughout my mat leave and some stroller meet ups with all you wonderful mamas and littles. 💕

August 9th will be our official last events, so come join us for that!

Check out some great fall programs opening for registration tomorrow in Watertown and Burlington!! And check out and if you’re in those areas.

Come join us for some Mommy & Me Fitness drops ins at Studio 12 Dance Company. Led by instructor Heather from

Such a fun and inclusive class for all levels of fitness! We will sweat it out, strengthen our bodies and have our littles one watch us or maybe even join in. 💪🏼
