Today is the end of a very significant era of my life.

For the last 7 years, I've had the incredible privilege of being home with my boys. Seven years of little hands, messy houses, school drop off, sick days, snacks on repeat, bedtime stories and being there for all the little moments in between.

And somewhere in the middle of those 7 years, I also started a business.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new season for me - one where both of my kids will be in school, and I'll have a little more space to pour into the business I've spent the last 3 years building.

It's a bittersweet feeling. I'm excited for what's ahead, but I'm also grieving the version of life I've known for so long. Being a stay at home Mom has been such a huge part of who I am and letting that go feels bigger than I expected.

I'm incredibly proud of myself for building something of my own while raising my babies- working around naps, bedtimes, school schedules, squeezing work into the little pockets of time I had.

I'm so grateful to my husband, Mom and Dad, my Mother and Father-in -law, my neighbours, and all my amazing clients who have been so flexible to make this dream come true for me πŸ’“

Tonight, I'm letting myself feel all of it.

The excitement.
The sadness.
The pride.
The fear.
The gratitude.
The ache of how quickly these years went.

So as the most beautiful, exhausting, messy, meaningful chapter of my life comes to an end, I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your continued support. It means the world to me 🀍

This was a tough one. Cutting down and digging out 14 burning bushes and bridal wreath spirea that were almost 40 years old, clearing w**ds, lifting tarp and w**d mat and narrowing the gardens for a clean bright fresh start.

Sharing this job I did at the end of May, now that the hydrangeas are blooming! This was a tough one, w**ding, removing some dead shrubs and moving all the rock forward. It turned out so beautifully! 😍
