Essential oils with Catherine

Easy, no-fuss mornings start here 🤍

My go-to coconut milk chia pudding is one of those things I make once and enjoy all week long—perfect for busy mom life, especially heading into spring and summer.

All you need:
• 3 cups coconut milk (1 carton)
• 3/4 cup chia seeds
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp vanilla

Whisk everything together until smooth (no clumps), pop it in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight, then give it a good mix and portion into containers.

The best part? The toppings 🤍
I love switching it up depending on what I’m craving that week:
• Homemade berry coulis + coconut shavings
• Homemade caramel + white chocolate chips
• Berry coulis + peanut butter for a PB&J vibe

It’s quick, filling, and feels like a little treat to start the day.

Save this for your next meal prep ✨

I thought one was hard… until I had 4 under 4 🤍

But here’s the truth — my hardest transition will always be 0 → 1.

The unknowns.
The sleepless nights that felt endless.
The overwhelming “am I doing this right?”

No one tells you how fast that season actually flies.

Now? The days are loud, full, and sometimes chaotic… but they don’t feel as heavy.

As hard as some moments are, I wouldn’t trade this life for the world.

If you’re in the 0-1 stage right now — I promise, it gets lighter 🤍

8 months of Cassidy 🤍

Howwwww are you getting so close to ONE?!
I’m constantly in awe watching how much you grow and change every single day. You’ll be walking before I know it, and I’m just not ready 🥹

• I’m climbing everything.
• I’m constantly trying to pull myself up to stand.
• I love the water. Mom thinks swim lessons are in our near future!
• I say “mama” and “dada.”
• I’m a little mommy’s girl and would snuggle 24/7 if I could.
• I’m loving all the foods.
• My brothers are obsessed with me… but sometimes they get a little too wild for my liking 😂

Eight months of the sweetest girl. Watching you become you is my greatest joy. 🤍

Can’t believe you’re getting to close to a year. You are truly the brightest light and the biggest blessing. So thankful you surprised us. I cannot imagine life without you 🥺

- I have major fomo and just wanna be apart of the action
- Im obsessed with my brothers and they are wrapped around my finger already
- I never stop smiling ☺️
- I officially have 4 teeth! 🦷

I went a little quiet on here…
After Cassidy was born, I really soaked in the newborn bubble and that sweet family time as we adjusted to our new normal as a family of six 🤍

These were taken when Cass was just 3 weeks old.
That fourth baby has a way of slowing you down—reminding you to savor every moment, because we know how quickly it all slips away.

The slow mornings.
The contact naps.
The tiny stretches and sleepy smiles.
That feeling of time somehow standing still and flying by all at once.

I’m 8 months postpartum now, and I know how fast this season goes… so I chose presence over posting.
And I don’t regret a single second of it.

I’m still here—just a mama learning how to hold both the moments and the memories… and slowly stepping into this new role as a mom of FOUR 🤍

So grateful for those of you who checked in, sent messages, and held space for me while I was a little quieter than usual. It truly meant more than you know.

Had one baby → obsessed.
Had another → also obsessed.
Now here we are with 4 under 4 and my oldest is campaigning for MORE siblings 🤣
Be honest moms… when do you actually know you’re done?
Because I don’t think I’ve hit that feeling yet 🤪

Cold rainy days means we’re spending our days baking up a storm and all the snuggles 🥰 banana mini muffins, pumpkin cheesecake chocolate chip mini muffins and regular muffins, and peanut butter cookies for lots of snacks. Green beans, rice, garlic toast and chicken for supper for the kids and I and I made cole and I a pasta bake for when he got home super last from work 🤤

28 looks like peace, purpose, and little hands holding mine 🤍 Filled with so much gratitude for this life. I’ve caught myself reflecting on how lucky we truly are constantly, truly blessed. Spent my birthday surrounded with my babies exploring, and ended it with a date night for the jets home opener with our little girly for her very 1st NHL game! ✈️
