TORONTO ZOO 🦓🦒🦍 Yesterday, I finally act

TORONTO ZOO 🦓🦒🦍

Yesterday, I finally activated my canoopass for FREE tickets to Toronto Zoo! I still can't believe that all new PRs and Citizens get a whole year of fab deals like this one... and Sienna was free too of course! Sorry Isaac, full price for you 💅

We had the BEST day! The Zoo is huge and it was basically empty for the whole time we were there (weekday, 3pm - 7pm) so highly recommend going then if you can.

Our favourites?
Orangutans
Polar bears
And scary giraffes (which Sienna insisted make huge ROAR noises)

My parents come to visit from England in a couple weeks (counting down the days!) and I'll definitely be taking them back here. I somehow always thought it was far from us, but despite the name, it's actually located in Scarborough, just outside of the city, so a cool manageable 45min drive 👌

We didn't have time to enjoy the massive splash pad so we'll be bringing our swimsuits for that next time for sure 💙

10/10 !! Have you visited Toronto zoo?

P.s. peek my pink gin drink, this mumma couldn't resist 😆🍹cocktails at the Zoo? Sign me up.

Just a quick PSA to anyone feeling anything less t

Just a quick PSA to anyone feeling anything less than bad*ss for moving your whole life abroad !! ✈️👏

Maybe your progress is slow...
It's not the instant adventure you spent so long imagining...
Everyone else looks like they're having so much fun and you're still struggling...
You feel like you'll never catch up or be able to build the same life you so stupidly left behind...
Why is it so hard?
You're failing in so many areas, you're lonely, frustrated, homesick, tired...

I bet if you actually take a step back - view your move from the eyes of someone back home who'd only ever *dream* of doing such a thing - you'd realise all the micro-wins and learnings curves and tasks checked off the list and new relationships made, well they build up into an absolute *monster* of an achievement.

So don't ever forget it! Building a new life in a foreign place takes so much more work and time than we give ourselves credit for.

Social media shows highlights and often not the hard work and strength that goes into immigration and travel.

You're doing it.

You're amazing 🤍

Life lately ✨️🌤
... Swipe to the end for THE house tour 😱

1. Evening hangouts at our local waterfront. I miss our lakefront views every day but at least this public beach is just a few minutes away 👌 Rare sighting of lake monster emerging from the depths...

2. Celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary 🤯💍 I guess getting pregnant so soon after meant we fast forwarded the first couple years of our marriage... because it literally feels like just yesterday we had all the Canadians in the UK for the big day! Happy anniversary izaik you stud

3. At our wedding, we asked guests to write us notes to open on our 1st anniversary. Well, last year we were in newborn chaos, so we finally opened them this year... and look who wrote to us. My magical nan who we lost last year 🥹❤️ If you're getting married, do this keepsake, you'll end up with notes you cherish forever.

4. I co-hosted my best friend's baby shower this past weekend and things got a little sh*tty 😆 proud of this one... can you guess the chocolate bars? 👀

5. Gosh she's a stunner 🤍 and I'm about to be the funnest British Auntie ever

6. Forever proud of izaik and the work he puts in building us stunning houses again and again... This will be number 5!!! 🥵 He does all this and meanwhile I stapled my own finger doing baby shower crafts. We have our strengths 🤷‍♀️

7. SHE'S OFFICIALLY ON THE MARKET!! For those who've been dying for a house tour, the professionals did it for me 😩🔑🏡 she's a beauty

What's new in your week?
