Becoming a mother is a wonderful thing. All of a sudden a sweet new life creates an abundance of love that colours life from that moment on. Wide eyes, full smiles, bubbly giggles. Helping, teaching, exploring the world through fresh eyes. Being a mother is wonderful. It can also be soul-crushing. Despite filling our lives…
Blogging
Welcome
Hooray! You made it! Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Announcement posted on miraclesofamily.blogspot.com: I love this blog. I really really do. So many bloggers express the importance of being on WordPress(.org) – of even starting on WordPress(.org) but I vehemently disagree. Blogger is familiar. It is user-friendly and it is customizable. I have used WordPress(.org) on…
An Abundance of Lost Words
I’m at a loss for words. I have so much to say. I never would have guessed that I’d be writing about this here – on this blog. I started this blog when I was pregnant with Cameron. I meant for it to capture my journey into and through motherhood. I wanted to reflect on…
Pledging
I’ve been blogging for a long time. Eight years to be exact. And I know that blogging is an excellent way to network and meet new people. I actually met my husband through blogging. True story! We met online by reading each other’s blog. The first thing my husband ever said to me? It’s kind…
New Mommy
It is official. I am a new Mommy. I didn’t really want to become a new Mommy, but it was a change that had to be made. I am now a Working Mom. My first day back at work went well. Cameron and Mommy both got through the day with minimal tears. I kept my…
E-Sharing
Disclaimer: I’ve decided to write about loss because of a comment I received when everything first happened. “I’m sorry people don’t really talk about this stuff, because I think that makes it ever harder”. I completely agree, and so I want to be part of the solution. Blogging is about reaching out and sharing experiences. It is…
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…
Three Things
I have some announcements to make. It totally doesn’t make for good blog reading, but hopefully it will be informative and help you find other good things. First of all, I am very excited to announce that I have launched my photography company O La La! Photography by Laura O’Rourke. I will be primarily doing photography…
Thinner Thursday: Uninspired
This girl here? Yeah this one. The one whose blog you’re reading. This girl does not feel up to blogging right now. This girl? She’s kind of bummed out. It might be because she’s feels rather uninspired about the post she’s about to write. Maybe it is that she knows she is overdue for a post. Maybe…
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…
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…
