Thinner Thursday: I’m Normal!
I haven’t been posting my weekly weigh-ins in a while. Now that my baby is mobile, I’m spending all my time running after my baby and no time typing up blogs. That is not to say that I haven’t been keeping up with my Weight Watchers journey. Every Thursday morning I have been weighing in…

Postponing Is Not Advancing
The average age of women giving birth in Canada has been trending upwards for several years. Now a clinic in Toronto is freezing the eggs of healthy women who want to delay pregnancy. What effect are these older parents having on their children and society? Thus asked CBC Radio’s The Current Wednesday morning. I managed…
Thankfully Waiting
I should have known. Airports are rarely neutral territory. They are wrought with the extremities of emotion: from kissing a loved one goodbye to the eager anticipation of new adventures to the feeling of coming home again to joyful opened-armed welcomes. Hidden in the nooks and crannies of airports is magic and stories stuck in the telling….

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…
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…
