So, Cameron moved to his crib last Monday night. Kinda. I guess I should start at the beginning, because honesty? This one simple change of beds wasn’t so simple. When Cameron came home from the hospital, he spent all of his nights in the cradle that I spent my first nights in. We have a…
Mommy Pictures: Mommy of One (For Now)
So, I’m not pregnant. WHAT?! Okay, I am not trying to get pregnant, nor did I really think I was pregnant. But I did pee on a stick yesterday. You see, a post-pregnant body goes through some major changes. And sometimes, these changes are confusing and I, for one, am sometimes confused as to what…
Thinner Thursday
I’ve tried to work out before. Do you know what has always been my downfall? Getting sick. Each and every time I get myself into a routine, sickness strikes and I fall out of it, never really getting back into the swing of things. Do you remember what I have been dealing with during this…

Mommy’s Nerves
This past week has been crazy (the lack of posts are not because I’m lazy, but because I haven’t been able to find the time). We’ve been fighting these colds, I’ve thrown a bachelorette party, Cameron and I have visited my Mom, and I have a lot of work on my plate. Combine this with…
Sick Babies
(Please take note: While inside this post, all italics are meant to be read with an English accent. Make sure you watch the video to understand why.) Our house is full of sick men right now. Have you ever seen a sick man before? It is pretty much exactly like this: Yup, my husband has…
Sparrow
I am so unaware. I am so naive. Last week, after taking the ferry to Halifax to meet Dan after work, we were walking home. We weren’t walking as fast as some of the other ferry passengers who had just debarked the ferry because we were pushing the stroller uphill. By the time we crested…
Mommy Pictures: Family Outing
Sometimes in the summer, it gets hot outside. And usually, when it gets hot outside, it gets hot inside… and it stays hot, even when it starts to cool down outside. Last Friday, we had one of those days. Normally, I try to get Cameron ready for bed between 7 and 8pm. But last Friday,…
Thinner Thursday
We finally got a huge reprieve from the heat this week. We’ve definitely had some hot days, but they haven’t been unbearable and they’ve been bookended by glorious rain storms. Rain is beautiful and refreshing and cozy and relaxing. I love being snuggled in bed hearing the rain pounding outside. On nice days, I’ve been…
Mommy’s Bionic Baby
Cameron got his four month shots on Monday. Remember the last time Cameron got shots? It was pretty much like that again. Cameron seemed to remember that last time he didn’t enjoy the doctor’s office very much when he was laid down on the examining table to be measured. All of a sudden, the biggest…
Refreshed
I find it very hard to leave my baby. Okay, sure, I’ll leave him home with my husband for half an hour while I go to the drug store, but anything more than that and I have a very hard time. Here’s the thing though – You might have heard me mentioning that in order…
