HAPPY NEW YEAR! + mélange

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!

I love the hope and promise of a new year. These links are all from last year (or last week, ha!), but I loved them enough to share. We celebrated with some neighbours and our kids at a family party until around 8pm using a sled as our transportation, and were in bed before midnight... #parentlife
 How was your NYE?

• how to have a fantastic home without being rich.  
• speaking of homes + budgets...33 of the most expensive streets in Mtl (not the ones I would have guessed!)
• brilliant idea for dessert! have to start doing this for the kids.
• I made this cake for breakfast on Christmas morning. Cake for breakfast! Hark the herald angels sing! 

• best dumplings in Montreal. Har Bin is our favourite!
• Ted talks on minimalism.
• I love incorporating the kids into meal-prep but it's not always easy. This book looks amazing!
• On the same vein, this book, too! Especially because it's in French too!

• fancy lego!
• the best play kitchens
• I'm thinking of ditching parchment paper this year and getting these instead. I go through A LOT of parchment, so it might be worth it!
• when I was young, each year we'd go to Florida for two weeks and my sister and I would journal every day we were away. This post reminded me of how wonderful journalling is for kids!
• Also these journals would be perfect for littles!
