Happy Thankgiving weekend!
If you have been following me on Instagram (@christiane.begin) then you know that I visited Tunisia recently with my little family. As my partner is originally from there, we visited his relatives as well as some tourist spots. I am currently prepping those posts and selecting from the many pictures we took so stay tuned!
Being Grateful
Thanksgiving has always been an important weekend in my family. We had our extended family and some close friends on Sundays to celebrate and eat A LOT of homemade food. We celebrated the end of the farming season in my town (I grew up on a farm) while being together enjoying 5 course meals my mom usually prepared which was one of my favorite part of getting together. Mmmmm! Now that I have been living at the other end of the country, I don’t get to share these special moments with my family. On the other hand, I have my little family that is growing and I try to incorporate those traditions into my cooking and my baking. I enjoy the Fall feeling and coziness it brings with warmer clothing and hot beverages. Don’t you just LOVE the Fall flavors such as pumpkin, cinnamon, apple, cranberry sauce….?!
What’s the BIG NEWS??
At this time, I am especially grateful for my family. With that being said, I am very happy to share that I am pregnant with my second child….due end of February 2018!!
Before I posted my vacation pictures, I just thought I would announce it since you might notice my bump which has grown fairly quickly the first few months. I am already half-way through my pregnancy!! Ahhhhh, I can’t believe it!!
Here are some pictures of a little family photoshoot we did in Tunisia to celebrate our soon to be new family member.
I am also wearing, by far, my all-time favorite bikini which ladies, has amazing support on top and a bikini bottom that can be folded on top to make it narrower if needed. I would definitely recommend this brand, which is a Montreal based company called LOLE and sold throughout many sportswear stores and online. Although it isn’t a maternity swimsuit, I would definitely recommend it to other mother’s-to-be! Another bonus is that it is a mix and match swimsuit (multiple color options) and the price is also pretty good.
Color your style, color your food, color your life!
