I’m a Stay-at-Home-Mom at heart. Realistically though, I’m a working Mom. And I go back to work in less than a month. When Cameron was first born, my husband and I looked at our finances and tried to find a way for me to stay at home with Cameron. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t feasible. It…
Cameron
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,…
You Are Not Alone
Yesterday, I missed my weekly bible study. I typically enjoy my Monday mornings. I am blessed with a reason to get out of the house, delicious treats and coffee, friendship and good conversation with women, and a spiritual boost. As much as I dread going back to work because I have leave Cameron with someone…
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?”…
Toddling
I still have a baby. I still have a baby. I still have a baby. … a baby who walks. In this past months, Cameron has gone from taking his first steps to walking almost everywhere he goes. It is so precious. Dan and I just sit in the living room and giggle as he toddles…
Level-Womanship
There is something that annoys me. I mean, it really gets at me, right under the skin. It makes me want to scream and sigh and roll my eyes and snap people out of it any way I can. Have you ever met someone who is a one-upper? I’m sure you have. Every story you…
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…
