I know that new Moms everywhere have opinions on what women should wear post-pregnancy. Many feel that they are totally done with maternity clothes and are even offended that other women would consider wearing them too (Picture courtesy of The Bump Post Secret). Other women continue to wear their maternity clothes because honestly, there is…
Thinner Thursday
Well, it is that day of the week again… and this time I think I am managing to get the right day of the week. Last week I let you all know about my desire to get back into shape – and not this post-baby shape that I find myself in right now. So let’s…
Mommy’s Opinion
I may be late to the party on this one, but I had to have my say. Do you remember Rabbi Shmuley Boteach? He’s the guy from TLC’s Shalom in the Home. Although I have never seen that show before, I have seen him on Dr. Phil in the past, and I have usually agreed…
Dear Cameron: A Love Letter to My Three Month Old
Dear Cameron, This is the first of what I hope is many letters to you throughout your lifetime. I want you to look back and always know how very much I love you and how I loved you from the first day I found out you existed. Today you turn three months old. You will…
Mommy’s Friday Confession
Yesterday was a rough day for me at home. Every once in a while I start to feel like my every waking moment (and many not-quite-awake moments) are consumed with taking care of Cameron. Let me be clear, I love being a Mom and I love being with my precious little boy. But, I’m not…
Mommy Brain
Can you believe how long it took me to realize that yesterday wasn’t Thursday?! Yesterday’s blog post was the first in a weekly update called “Thinner Thursday”. Obviously, I intend for these to be posted on Thursday. And believe me – I thought I was following through on my plan. When I woke up yesterday…
Thinner Thursday
There is something absolutely beautiful about a pregnant body. I loved being pregnant. I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life, even when I was about as big as a house. This was taken less than a month before Cameron was born. Terrible picture of me, but it gives a general idea about…
Mommy’s Boy
Cameron and I are finally home after visiting family for three weeks (Hubs came home a week earlier while the bubby and I spent the last week at my parent’s house in NB). It was a nice trip, but I learned a few things about travelling with a baby: specifically that babies do NOT like…
Mommy Cut
Last time I got my hair cut was August ’09. AUGUST! I had found out in June that I was pregnant and by August I was just about to be interviewed for a new job. Unfortunately, I had long blond hair with ridiculous brown roots that only appeared even reasonably presentable in a ponytail. Now…
Mommy’s Day
It has been almost a full week since Mother’s Day, and although I have meant to blog about it, there has been no blog. I’ve been in Toronto living in a cave for a week, so I have an excuse. (Seriously! Who doesn’t have Internet in their house?). My first Mother’s Day wasn’t how I…
Mommy Must-Haves
I am currently in Toronto with very limited access to the internet. I’ll try to get a blog post up soon, but here is the first post of my “Mommy Must-Haves”, a review of some of the items that have been so useful to me during my short time as a Mom. On Saturday, Cameron…
