  • So excited to introduce y’all to our newest love ... Charley Mercer. Between potty training and a stubborn streak we’d greatly underestimated, Miss Charley has definitely been keeping us on our toes these last few days, but even through all the challenges of bringing home a new puppy, she’s already stolen our hearts. ♥️ Charley was one of seven adorable puppies that were rescued by @arfalberta at just a few days old, and brought into foster care along with their mama. She is the third to be adopted out at five months old now, leaving four brothers and sisters left still needing a home, along with their beautiful Mom Marley (check out @arfalberta ‘s website for more information about them all). If you’re looking for a new pet to love, please consider welcoming one of the many #rescues out there into your family. There are so many sweet animals in need of a loving home. We feel so lucky to have the opportunity to give this sweet girl a family. 🐶 . . . #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #hyggehome #yyc #yyg #dogsofinstagram #goldenretriever #newpuppy #newpup #puppylove #puppiesofinstagram #newpuppyproblems #newpuppyparents #adoptadog #adoptapuppy #abdog #farmhousepup
  • How can it be Sunday night already?! What a weekend it’s been though friends! After a “quick” trip to #Calgary to meet a sweet little pup from @arfalberta, we fell head over heels instantly and just couldn’t resist bringing her home with us! We were so grateful for all of the help from @arfalberta in making sure we found just the right #rescuedog for our family and in ensuring her transition into our home would be as smooth as possible. We brought her home with us Saturday night and it’s been an absolute whirlwind of puppy training, playtime and snuggles (this pup loves a quiet snuggle) ever since! With all the chaos and excitement, I haven’t even had a chance to share any pictures of the newest member of the Mercer clan, but can’t wait to share her with y’all soon! Hope your weekend was just as wonderful friends! 💛 . . . #happyweekend #newpuppy #rescuepup #adoptdontshop #yyc #cozyhome #cozybedroom #cozyroom #farmhousebedroom #cozyyegwinter #cozywinter #hyggehome #hyggelife #newpup #newpuppy #puppylove
  • You guys, it has been SO darn cold here these last few days! Honestly, between the frigid temperatures and the fifty centimeters of snow we got over the weekend, we’ve been holed up in the house for days. After three snow days in a row at school, Carson finally made it back to class today as the temperatures rose to a balmy -27°C with the windchill. ☀️ I’ll tell you, it’s days like these that have us craving all the cozy things - a late afternoon fire crackling away and warm batch of roasted cauliflower soup simmering on the stove - it really doesn’t get much cozier than that. And, with the rest of Canada stuck in this #polarvortex right along with us, I couldn’t resist sharing my 3 favorite ways to make our home feel #cozy this time of year - hop on over to the blog to read more. Stay warm friends!!! 🥶 . . . #cozyhome #cozyliving #warmandcozy #farmhousecozy #cozyfarmhouse #ourcozyfarmhouse #hyggehome #hyggeliving #hyggewinter #hyggealberta #cozyalberta #hyggecanada #cozycanada #staywarm #staywarmandcozy #cdnblogsquad #yeg #cozyyegwinter
  • Oh my goodness friends, it’s been far too long! A few weeks ago I discovered the new #tidyingup series from #mariekondo on #netflix and, after binge watching each and every episode, I found myself feeling inspired to #konmari our entire house. It’s been three years since we first walked this journey of #decluttering and #organizing after reading her brilliant book and, though I think we’ve actually kept up with it all pretty well, watching this new series had us feeling the need to revisit things. We’ve gone through some pretty major renovations these last few years and, through the chaos of living in a reno zone and the rush of putting it all back together again, we’d never taken the time to really settle into these new spaces. Those of you that have started your own #KonMari journey will know what a difficult and demanding process it can be (even the second time around). I’ve been so caught up in decluttering and organizing all the things, I found myself needing to put my blog and social media on the back burner while I focused on getting our house back in order. This week though, this week I not only planned and photographed two posts all about this crazy journey of #sparkingjoy, but I also managed to put together a blog post and video tour of our finished kitchen space! So, now I just need to know, what would you most like to read about first? #thelifechangingmagicoftidyingup #farmhousekitchenrenovation Let me know in the comments below! 🌿 . . . #farmhousekitchen #whitekitchen #kitchenreno #whitecabinets #butcherblockcountertop #butcherblock #farmhousesink
  • What is it about a new year that seems to bring with it that urge to organize all the things? Sure, there’s definitely something motivating about the idea of a fresh new start, but I think for us, it’s more a craving for a little less clutter after a very full holiday season. The holidays bring with them so many wonderful things, people and adventures and, though I absolutely love every minute of it all and wouldn’t change a thing, there’s also something really refreshing about the calm and quiet that comes after it. As Christmas (and all the stuff that comes with it) gets packed up for another year, the need to declutter and organize every single thing swoops right in to take its place. This year I kicked things off in the kitchen, clearing our counters of any extra clutter and then cleaning out + reorganizing every single cupboard and drawer (where do all those crumbs inside them ALL even come from?!). Are you spending your January cleaning and organizing all the things? What are you tacking first? #organization #organized #organizedhome #organizedkitchen #kitchenorganization #organize #konmari #konmarimethod #konmarikitchen #organizedkitchen #farmhousekitchen #gettingorganized #organizedhome #declutter #declutteryourhome #declutteryourkitchen #declutteryourlife #mypotterybarn
