Earlier this week, there was a lot going on… a lot going on that I wasn’t happy about. Earlier this week, I was at the end of my rope. I wanted to blog about it. I almost needed to blog about it. But it isn’t good for me to write when I am in that…

Perfection
Tonight, you needed your Momma. You needed me. You had been sleeping but eventually you found yourself lingering somewhere between desperately wanting to be asleep and trying to be asleep. That place? It is not a calming place to be for a little sleepy boy. You couldn’t get comfortable. You rolled to your belly and…
Dear Cameron: A Love Letter to My Five Month Old
Monster Tooth, Five months ago today, you became an outside baby and somehow, a very little you made the very big world a better place. I had no idea how much you would change my life in these past five months. Because of you, I am able to experience the joys of motherhood. Because of…
(Not so) Thinner Thursday
So, remember how last Thursday I was just getting over a cold and I was looking forward to being healthy and working out again? Well, a couple of hours after that blog was posted, I ended up at the doctor’s office getting a prescription for an ear infection. Of course, this meant that I have…
Mommy NIP
Well, it is World Breastfeeding Week, so I thought I would dedicate a blog post to the way my baby has gotten food for the last five months of his life. My sister noticed the badge on the right hand side of my blog and decided to comment when she saw me nursing Cameron at…
Sharp Little Bugger
It is tough being the Mommy of a teething baby. Cameron started drooling in May (around two months old). From that point on, I noticed lots of teething symptoms. Some people told me “Oh, he can’t be teething – babies don’t do that this early”, but I knew some things they didn’t. I knew that…
Mommy and Daddy’s Great Sleep Debate
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…
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…
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…
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…
