DIY DOWEL TABLE

It seems like using dowels for furniture & projects has been all the rage these days! I had to try it out! We got an old office table off of Facebook…

You had us at 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘵, Mission Hi

You had us at 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘵, Mission Hill🍷🤩

We’ve been ✨hibernating✨ this winter. ⁣
⁣
Not sure if it’s because of covid, working from home, or the cold but honestly we barely leave the house. Went on a hike last weekend and felt amazing to really get outside and move our bodies. Maybe it’s just a winter funk but got any tips to have more energy/motivation these days?? Lemme hear ‘em 👇🏼🤍

This was New Years last year for us. The prettiest

This was New Years last year for us. The prettiest rainbow we’ve ever seen & the last time we left the country. Such a tease 😅⁣
⁣
If 2020 has taught us anything it’s that we are not invincible, none of us are in full control of our lives, and true happiness comes from slowing down & being with people that matter most. ⁣
⁣
This is just a friendly reminder that as the new year begins, change will not happen overnight, but it is coming. Good things are coming, and I can’t wait to see what 2021 has in store for us all 💓 ⁣
⁣
Wishing everyone good health & happiness 🥂

Our #1 photoshoot location in Hamilton: 𝐃𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The grounds have such a variety of choices from the beautiful architecture of the actual buildings, to the stunning landscape with trees & waterfront, there are endless possibilities! We always used to go on field trips as kids into the castle which is even more gorgeous inside (& we used to always get cookies at the end of the tour from their wood oven, where my hamiltonians at that remember this?! 🙋🏻‍♀️)⁣⁣

Where’s your fav spot to shoot in your hometown?! Let’s create a list 👇🏼

People have asked me before why we go out and take

People have asked me before why we go out and take random photos to “create content” on our page and what the point of it is?⁣
⁣
My #1 answer to that every single time is the memories Shawn and I have made together while going out and adventuring will be something I cherish forever🤍 For us, discovering awesome new places we’ve never been before and taking a few fun photos while doing it will never feel like a chore, it’s a hobby. It’s fun and good for the soul.💫 We’ve visited so many cool places together (even locally) that we would have visited anyway, so why not share it with the world to inspire them to get out there!⁣

Always know your WHY. 🥰

hi friends, it’s been a while 👋🏼 ⁣
we’ve been settling into our new home and absolutely loving our new home account @thethompsonhaven⁣
⁣
I’m sure it’s the same with most of you, but we’ve been feeling very frustrated/discouraged on the travel end of things. We did have a trip booked for March, but if there is still a mandatory two week quarantine when we return that we’d have to take unpaid from work, we won’t be able to go. This would be our FOURTH travel credit 🙈🙈🙈 We have been missing travelling SO much ☹️ Really craving an adventure!⁣
⁣
So my question for you is do you have any trips booked? Are you just going anyway despite the state of the world? No judgements just curious, there can def be safe travel during this time. Where are you going, we would love to know??🤗
