I’m liking the disclaimers as of late, aren’t I? I don’t know why I feel the need to place a disclaimer here, but I will none the less. This post is about faith. You may have faith. You may not. I have faith. Regardless of your views, I invite you to read this with an open…

No Mom Talk Monday: Dream Home
I recently started following a new-to-me blog called The Mommy Matters when Courtney somehow landed on my blog and gave me a comment. In the week or so that I’ve been following, I’ve become a huge fan of her blog. On Mondays, she does a meme called No Mom Talk Monday and this week, I…
O o O o O
Last night, I found myself cradling a box of banana flavoured Cheerios, stuffing my hand in, grabbing fistfuls and popping each Cheerio into my mouth one by one. All of a sudden, I kind of felt like my son. I don’t normally find myself stuffing my face with Cheerios, but last night I was feeling particularly not…
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 Immunized
I kind of feel bad about yesterday’s post. I feel bad that I was busy feeling sorry for myself when my baby was going from “coming down with a pesky cold” to being in a full blown respiratory disaster. He currently sounds like an old lady who has been smoking all her life, and his…
Groundhog Day
I’ve never seen the movie Groundhog Day so I probably won’t make an entirely appropriate cultural reference, but I get the gist. And I feel like I am stuck in my own personal Groundhog Day hell. Actually, I feel as if I am stuck in a Groundhog Day loop that repeats a day three months ago. Or,…
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?”…
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Peace. Peace is a word that evokes the flickering of a flame at a Christmas Eve service or the crisp newness of the freshly fallen snow draped over the lawn or a Silent Night. Christmas is peaceful. Except when it isn’t. Peace might be one of the last words I would use to describe this…
A Question of Santa Claus (Caution: Spoiler Alert)
Christmas has always been my favourite time of the year. It is always full of magic and beauty and joy and fun. As a child I used to have such a hard time falling asleep on Christmas Eve as I was so full of anticipation for the following day. Now, I look forward to the…
Thank you Dr. Google
Cameron’s mysterious illness has been diagnosed. And by “diagnosed”, I mean that Dr. Google (with an MD from Wikipedia U) has diagnosed it. Because walk-in clinic doctors are clearly under-qualified*. I’m pretty sure Cameron has Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD). Here is how I diagnosed Cameron. Symptoms Cameron displays: Fever Fatigue Malaise Non-itchy body rash…
Mommy Knows
Cameron is sick. I’m sure of it. You see, he has a rash that has shown up on different parts of his body. He slept horribly last night and woke up with a fever. He refused to nurse. All these things lead me to believe that my baby is very ill. Unfortunately, the doctor doesn’t…
