Life is going to change real fast! In a week, I’ll be going to back to work while still trying to manage a household. I’m already struggling and I can at least grocery shop during the day and start dinner at 4:30pm. I’ll be surprised if this house doesn’t crumble once I return to work….
Marriage
First Date
I’m liking the disclaimers as of late, aren’t I? I don’t know why I feel the need to place a disclaimer here, but I will none the less. This post is about faith. You may have faith. You may not. I have faith. Regardless of your views, I invite you to read this with an open…
No Mom Talk Monday: Dream Home
I recently started following a new-to-me blog called The Mommy Matters when Courtney somehow landed on my blog and gave me a comment. In the week or so that I’ve been following, I’ve become a huge fan of her blog. On Mondays, she does a meme called No Mom Talk Monday and this week, I…
Beautiful Chaos
So, I’ve been doing this Project 365 thing over on my photography blog where I take one photo a day for a year. On Tuesday, I took a photo of a shelf in our house that is supposed to hold some of Cameron’s books and toys in our kitchen. The purpose of my photo was to…
Twenty-Five with Smooth Legs
The baby’s getting sleepy. I’d better heat up a bottle. Man, I hope that bottle would hurry up and heat up. He’s getting cranky. Finally. Warm milk. Happy, resting baby in my arms. Bottle’s empty. Baby’s in bed. Fussy. Just fall asleep. Shhhh. You and I both know that you’re tired. You’d be…
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 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?”…
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…
Reaching Out
I’ve pretty much accepted my role as Cameron’s #1. When he falls and bumps his head, he looks for Momma’s snuggles. When he is trying to get back to sleep at night, he relies on the comfort and consistency of my arms. When he needs someone, it is me he reaches for. I’m not complaining….
My Fifteen Minutes
Normally I’m good at this. I am good at finding the energy to do all this Mommy-stuff. But, over the past couple of days, I have been overwhelmed by an all consuming exhaustion. My entire body feels as heavy as my eyelids. My movements are slow. My head is foggy. I feel as though I…
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….
