1. It’s still winter you guuuys! I know, I know. I shouldn’t complain about the weather because there are so many worse things. But yooouuuuu guuuyyysss! I’m coooolllld! Okay, it’s mid February in Ontario. Those of you who have had the luxury of living in my home province, know that this isn’t the nicest time…

FamJamboree!
Grey!
O was born a week before his due date. It was unseasonably warm (like light sweater weather in March warm!). Seven hours total labour (including the 1.5 hours I wasn’t allowed to push) seemed pretty quick at the time. E had her own plans in mind (as she has ever since). She came two weeks…
Read MoreUpdates and The Waiting Game
The Waiting Game is officially on, and I am already losing patience! Pre-labour is progressing, but i am tired. With E I didn’t feel this “all-day body hangover” until the day she was born. That day I was couch ridden. O and I had an Arthur marathon, and then she was born in the afternoon.…

When I was 17, there was this weird guy in my art class. He was super tall, with long arms and legs. Cartoonishly block shaped hands and feet. A plaid, flannel shirt (I’m not even kidding, and we are not even old enough for that to have…
Read MoreThe Tank Turned Two
Yesterday E turned two! She is, by far, one of the very best people I have ever known. It’s hard to believe that a year ago she had just learned to walk and now she can run and jump and climb (and climb and climb and climb). Two meager years ago, she cooed quietly in…
Read MoreThe times, they are a changin’!
As I eluded to in past posts, we have been making moves. Waiting for things to pan out. Figuring this out. Boomba#3 is one of those things. She is doing well, getting bigger every day (at least I hope based on how round I’m getting;) Another thing is B’s job prospects. His last job was…

“Watch out for the baby” is a phrase you will very rarely hear me say. A visiting Grandparent said it to O a few days ago, and it just got right under my skin. Yes, when E was tiny we talked about being gentle to the point of exhaustion. When they rough-house we remind them…

As you all know, I turned 30 at the end of February. It was a little stressful for me. Who was I? Who did I want to become? All that good stuff. One of the many questions I pondered, was baby related. I have always wanted to be a mother. When I was little I…
Read MoreWalking & Talking
Our life can be chaotic. It’s currently not where we want it to be. Every day we are working towards our goals. Home time is mostly busy. On the days when we are caught up on chores, and errands, and work, and bath times, we get a chance to snuggle in and watch a movie.…
Read MoreThe Sweet Taste Of Literature
I love books. The musky smell of an old classic. The texture of the paper. The weight of a hearty read in my hands. E loves to bite. Chew. Destroy. I’m guessing quite of few of you toddler-wranglers are sitting on a stack of mangled board books, not wanting to throw them away. I can…
