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…

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
Mom Moods Giveaway
My daughter has entered the stage of, “cling.” A toddler Koala. I remember wishing for this – the “I love my mommy more than anyone in the world and never want to leave her ever,” stage. Sigh. She’s driving me crazy. I love this little version of me and wouldn’t trade the cuddles for the…

Pin ItCool as a Muther Heffin’ Cucumber
This weekend I took our daughter swimming with a friend. Nothing too spectacular; her mother in a bathing suit; all the children of the world in one body of water; someone named Alynna having a birthday party; water up my nose and in my face. But we had fun and made it out unscathed. I…
The Magic of Easterchristmas
The Easter Bunny has come, and left our daughter to collect everything around our living room beyond Easter Sunday and colourful chocolates. She’s now pocketing small change and video games that have been left out. This year she had to be reminded that it was Easter and there was a bunny who brought eggs and…
Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You
When we began packing for the hospital, in anticipation if our daughters arrival, we had things like a birth plan, cord blood registration, music, a new outfit for our daughter (and me) to come home in, and people to call all organized. It was a perfectly laid plan That didn’t go at all the way…
