I’m so sick of hearing people say “In my day we…”! You know why you played outside so much when you were a kid? Because your parents told you to! BE A PARENT! And if you are telling me that you wouldn’t have loved to a have a video game or cell phone when you…

All Up On My High Horse!
As my closest friends can contest, I am super judgmental, and upitty! I do try to keep it in my head, but I don’t always succeed. My husband says that I have “judgment eyes”. He can always tell when I am judging something or someone harshly, even in silence. (He also does a fairly humorous…

Everyone was a Hippie for Halloween (at least once)
Many of you probably had “be greener”, “eat cleaner”, “eat locally” or some variation of this on your New Year’s resolutions list this year. I sure did, and I’m pretty good. When I was in Grade 4, we did this whole thing on the 3 R’s. We had a checklist to take home and implement,…

So I was probably in labour all day? It was so different this time around. With O I felt fine, I went to bed, and then BAM! Kick to the gut at 5:30am, and we were off! Seven hours later (less if there hadn’t been complications) and we had a baby boy. This time was…
Read MoreBack To Work!
What a horrifically horrid start to the new year! Due to bigger plans and the scheme of things I returned to work at the beginning of the year. After ten glorious months of playing, laughing, learning, loving, changing, washing, laundering, and snuggling, I left my precious baby with his daddy and returned to soul crushing…
Read MoreHoliday Madness And The New Year!
The holiday madness is over (including two baking days, multiple shopping days, and a whirlwind three day weekend at my sister-in-laws) and the new year has begun. As every year I made lists and schedules. Spent hours planning out exactly how this month would go. The working out, the going back to work, the eating…
Read MoreSix Months!
In two days, Ollie will be six months old! I’m not sure how the time passed so fast, but here we are. Six months! These past months have been an amazing roller-coaster of learning, exhaustion, tears, laughs, and love. I have to say though, that I have been very lucky so far. So many of…

My favourite season is upon us! Crisp air, the rustling of leaves, butter squash soup, tumblers of chai, scarves, sweaters, Halloween, pumpkins! And I’m not the only one that feels this way. It’s back to school, it’s The Vogue September Issue, it’s a fresh fashion start! It’s grown up coats, and grown up shoes. It’s…
