That Time I Broke My Wrist…

Published on July 31, 2016

Guys! Its been forever, right? Two months, to be more accurate, but it has felt like years since my last blog post! The culprit? Summer time madness and one broken wrist. It was, in a word, terrible. Not only did it hurt like hell, but breaking my right wrist meant I was more or less out of commission as far as blogging and a whole lot of other everyday things were concerned (eating, brushing my teeth, changing diapers- to name a few- and it was all sloppy and terrible). On the flip side, I did manage to master applying eyeliner with my left hand so that’s a win? I’m trying to look at the positives, you know?

Here's my broken wrist in all it's glory. As an aside, it doesn't get more Instagram-worthy than a black cast and miniature white roses, does it? I'm rolling my eyes very hard at myself right now.

If you have to get a cast, might as well make it a chic black one, right?

The broken wrist came a week before our annual summer trip to Toronto – and of course it would be the first ever trip we would be taking without the Mr. – so you can imagine my apprehension. Fortunately, everything went very well, and aside from the ridiculousness of not being able to use my right hand for so long, we had a good vacation. We flew back on the 23rd and the cast came off on the 25th, and now I’m just brimming with ideas and blog posts that I can’t wait to share with you! Coming up: foolproof ways to make traveling with kids a breeze and a review of the brand new Babyzen Yoyo+ 2016 stroller, a very special Lessons from a Stylist, plus I’m so excited to introduce you to Hamlet, an absolutely genius home decor company!

But before we get back into all of that, here’s a little photo recap from our Toronto vacation.

On our way! The first thing I do on any flight is kick off my shoes (but only if I’m wearing socks because otherwise ew). I bought these slip-on’s from Target before we left and they’re so comfortable! That fab purse is Target too and it’s been my go-to since I bought it. Completely obsessed with the pop of yellow on the sides.

At my parent’s house. Their compound backyard is full of grassy spaces and large evergreens.

We were in town for Eid which was a great excuse to dress up, eat way too much and take entirely too many photos. At this point, the Boy was completely over it and refused to smile for another photo. She, of course, has to do everything he does haha. This was a #momfail moment for me but honestly, this picture makes me laugh every time, so there we go.

At the in laws, in their gorgeous backyard with that amazing pool. Sadly, I didn’t have a waterproof cast and so the closest I got to the pool was sitting on the diving board next to it, staring longingly at the water. Wah wahhh.

This is Hugo, my mother in laws dog. Admittedly, I’m more of a cat person but Hugo’s really cute.

Exploring the local park with Grandpa.

We also celebrated my mom’s 60th birthday with this amazing (homemade!) cake.

We went for a walk with my BFF and all-round superstar, Marie-Claire, and her girls and mine picked these pretty pink daisies for us. From the neighbours yard. Oops!

And here is my aforementioned BFF and the Baby. She’s planted the prettiest, coolest vegetable garden on one side of her front yard; the other side is full of chamomile. The Baby had an excellent time picking out the tiny little white chamomile flowers and presenting them to us.

This day, we were at my brother and sister in law’s place. This is the view from their condo downtown. I love that you can just see the lake peeking through the skyscrapers. Do we still call them skyscrapers? I feel like I’m dating myself here. The photo on the right is from just outside the Air Canada Center. I had an extreme moment of patriotism.

Oh, and I I shopped. A bit, you know. Ok, maybe a wee bit more than a bit. But I only bought two pairs of shoes and that’s a record for me! The jeans are from Lucky Brand, the shirt is the softest chambray from Talula and the shoes are Mimosas from Browns Shoes. So comfortable! It’s one of my favourite outfits. I’m going to nail this capsule wardrobe thing, you guys. I swear it.

And there you go! A quick recap into our Toronto vacation. It’s not very touristy and certainly is no Guide to Vacationing in Toronto, but you know, it’s my people and my places and I hope you enjoyed a little glimpse into how we live. If you’d like to see more, feel free to follow me on Instagram.

So where did you go this summer? Did you venture far or did you enjoy a staycation? Tell me all about it!

xo, Naushin

This wood and cane headboard was a FB Marketplace find that was stored in the nursery the last two years. We finally installed it last weekend with a matching platform bed and it’s giving calm and coordinated and I honestly couldn’t love it more. 👉🏼 ALSO Pro tip: Get yourself an actual down-filled comforter for the fluffiest coziest bed evah! This one is linked in my LTK shop and I couldn’t recommend it more!
