🌸🎀 HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY MICHELLE - BOXING DAY BABY 👶🥰 🎁 🎂💖🌸

My youngest daughter Michelle turned 7 years old today — Boxing Day 🎉🎈💖
Every year, the day after Christmas, I pack away the Christmas decorations in just one room — the dining room — and decorate it with whatever birthday theme she chooses 🌸✨

My last born is 7… wow 😭💖 Where did the time go?

I still remember leaving the hospital in Kelowna, snow everywhere that day ❄️🤍 🌸💖
And then there’s Michelle being Michelle… On Mother’s Day 2022, when she was about 4, a farm guest who came to our petting zoo 🐐🌸 said her daughter was born in Italy. Michelle replied,
“I was born in the hospital.” 😂💖

Happy 7th birthday to my sweet, funny, amazing girl 👑💖🌸
You make every day magical ✨💖🎉

PS: Last birthday party planning of the year 🎉💖 Mom of 5… finally my brain and body can take a break- till David's birthday in April 😅🌸

🌸💜🌺 40 Photodump 📸. GROUNDED. FLOWING. HOME. 🌺💜🌸

Most of you know me here as the garlic farmer 🌱
Hands in the soil.
Growing food.
Living slow, seasonal, and rooted.
But there’s another part of me I want to share with you today. 💜

Last year at 39, I made promises to myself — and I kept them.
I went to the gym. I worked on my body (still working on it 😅).
And I went back to the river — the place that has healed me in ways I didn’t even know I needed. 🌊

Fifteen years ago, before the garlic, before this life,
I became the first female raft guide on the Zambezi River https://www.facebook.com/share/17FNam5GuS/

Somewhere between motherhood, marriage, and people-pleasing,
that woman got quiet.
In 2025, I chose to show up for MONDE again —
to remember her, reconnect with her river people,
and live more honestly and fully. 💜
Returning to the river wasn’t about going backwards —
it was about coming home.

Just like farming, the river teaches patience, respect, rhythm, and humility. 🌱🌊
And something beautiful happened.
Women in Zambia and Zimbabwe are stepping forward —
training on the Zambezi 🌊
Representation matters. 🌺

At 40, my heart feels full and aligned.
Grounded like garlic in the soil 🌱
and flowing like the river 🌊
Still learning.
Still growing.
Still flowing.
Home. 💜🌸

🎄✨ Cozy Winter Moments at Stuart Park 🎄 ✨️
Stuart Park winter market with the whole crew — kids, niece, nephews… basically half the neighbourhood 😂❄️

Tree lighting + hot chocolate = chaos and cuteness! 🎄💛

Between my 5 kids + niece & 2 nephews = a full holiday raft! ( after 5kids what's one more kid right 🤣🤣) 🚣💛

Giggles, snacks, chaos… and somehow I’m still smiling. 😂🎄

Playing Photograph because we’re in our “memories look better in winter” era. 📸✨

P.S. David asked me to hold something from his pocket… and I hesitated HARD.
Because with my son, you never know if it’s going to be a snake, a lizard, or a whole crocodile coming out of there. 😂🦎🐊

Boy moms, you get it 🤣🙉?
