When our last pregnancy ended we told our daughter very little. She was smaller then. And my heart hurt so very much. Talking about it ached. But the thing about children is their incredible perception, depth and awareness about what goes on around them. Even when you are certain they aren’t listening… they are. Last…

Mean Mom
“YOU’RE MEAN!” Hearing those words for the first time didn’t go like I thought it would, sweet girl. I remember playing over and over in my head the day that you would scream, or squeak, or whisper that sentence because of frustration, or anger and I would let the tears fall. I would because I…

They suggest that we are too free with their lives and perhaps our children will grow up resenting us. Resenting the potty photo? What?! The whole thing is baffling me. I share my daughter’s…
Pin ItSpring has Sprung
Winter has finally packed up its long johns and touques and left us with nice weather here in Ontario. That means more parks, more running, and more outside time. That means more energy burnt. And when this little/big girl is tired I am happy. Related Posts:The Baby HouseMean MomToddlerisms
