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…

Mommy Pictures: Autumn
Happy Friday! Happy October! I love the month of October. It might be my second favourite month after December. I love the season of autumn, and October is the best month to experience it. The weather gets refreshingly cool, the trees fully change colours, the leaves start to flutter, scents of spices fill the air,…
Thinner Thursday and BAM!
And BAM! That’s what I have to say. BAM because I completed my second week on Weight Watchers. BAM because I lost weight again. BAM because I am actually feeling better about myself. Dan and I have been on a tight budget for the last few months. (Maybe I’ll try to blog about that later – it…
This Sucks
This is the worst night ever. My baby is crying. He is clean. He is fed. He is safe. But he is still screaming. The hardest part of both parenthood and motherhood (don’t know the difference? There is one, believe me) is this sleep thing. Not sleeping starts during pregnancy. It is laughable how much…
Thinner Thursday
I did it! I got through one week on Weight Watchers. The first week went pretty well. I had a few different experiences as I went through the week, but all in all it was a positive experience. The biggest issue I had was the feeling like I didn’t have enough to eat. I’m definitely someone…
Thinner Thursday: Back with a Vengeance
I decided to take a break from Thinner Thursdays. I was spending all my time just feeling really discouraged about my post pregnant body and my progress. I was feeling really down and my confidence was low and I hated looking in the mirror and at pictures of myself. My head was too focussed on…
Dangerous Mommying
When I really stop to think about how long it has been since I have had a full night’s sleep, it gets overwhelming. Honestly? I can’t remember how long it has been. The answer isn’t simply 6 months, 1 week and 2 days, because, let’s be honest, sleeping gets much harder the further into pregnancy…
(Not) Suzie Homemaker
Some days I just feel like a failure. Even though the baby is fed and rested, the house is a disaster, dishes are dirty, fruit flies are a buzzin’ and the only food I’ve made consists of pouring cereal from the box to the bowl. I am not Suzie Homemaker. If you think I am? You’ll…

Speaking of Wordless Wednesdays
Just a note to say that I might be blogging a little less than usual. I seem to have some sort of pain in my hands and wrists (what I am guessing might be carpel tunnel?) and so I am going to try to avoid the computer as much as possible (this will be a…
Something for Sunday: Made for Glory
*Like other semi-regular weekly posts, I am going to try to write a faith-related post on Sundays. I recognize and understand that not everyone who might read this has the same faith beliefs that I do. Please read, if you want, because this is part of who I am, part of the mother that I…
