The baby’s getting sleepy. I’d better heat up a bottle. Man, I hope that bottle would hurry up and heat up. He’s getting cranky. Finally. Warm milk. Happy, resting baby in my arms. Bottle’s empty. Baby’s in bed. Fussy. Just fall asleep. Shhhh. You and I both know that you’re tired. You’d be…

Champions
I’m sitting here with the hubby watching the Superbowl. I don’t really have a stake in this game, but there is one team that I am rooting for. Let me explain. When I was dating, I quickly learned to keep my mouth shut when my boyfriend was annoying me. Often, a frustration within my relationship…
Love The One You’re With
I wasn’t going to write about this today. I had another topic in mind that I was busy writing in my head before sitting down to start typing. But as I walked towards the computer, I tuned my radio to CBC Maritime Noon. They were discussing the question: “Are we doing enough to prepare for marriage?”…
Holy Crap and Hallelujah!
I was honestly starting to believe that this day would never come. I was so sure that I would never, ever sleep a full night ever again in my entire life. I figured that eventually Cameron would learn to sleep all night long. I mean, I wasn’t crazy enough to believe that he would be a…
Big Steps
Since becoming a Mom, some things have kind of changed. I’m sure people know showers as the quick burst of freshness at the beginning of an early morning to awaken the senses. Others know showers as a long, warm and luxurious quiet time to cleanse and refresh. In fact, before I e-read (and had a…
Reaching Out
I’ve pretty much accepted my role as Cameron’s #1. When he falls and bumps his head, he looks for Momma’s snuggles. When he is trying to get back to sleep at night, he relies on the comfort and consistency of my arms. When he needs someone, it is me he reaches for. I’m not complaining….
Mommy Savings Time
I eagerly signed up for this. I was excited to be a mom long before Cameron was even a possibility and I knew that I would just love motherhood. And I really do. I know, I had loads of time to prepare. Nine months is a good long time. But can you really fully prepare…
Man Errands
Cameron loves going places. He is enamored with the sights and sounds and new experiences. Every trip out of the house is a new adventure for Cam. Every once in a while, Cameron’s Daddy takes Cam out of the house. They leave Mommy at home, and off they go. Together they get their coats on,…

Thankfully Waiting
I should have known. Airports are rarely neutral territory. They are wrought with the extremities of emotion: from kissing a loved one goodbye to the eager anticipation of new adventures to the feeling of coming home again to joyful opened-armed welcomes. Hidden in the nooks and crannies of airports is magic and stories stuck in the telling….
101 in 1001
This is my 101st blog post. That’s pretty incredible. I started this blog in the second trimester of pregnancy. I wanted to write about my experience with pregnancy and keep people updated on my life. I didn’t get into the swing of blogging until Cameron was a couple of months old, but since then, I’ve…
