I have so not been in the mood to blog today. It is HOT y’all. Can I just say, I am so glad to not be pregnant in this heat! It is hard enough snuggling with a hot baby all day. Momma’s sweaty, baby is sweaty – we have pit stops every couple of hours…
Family Life
The Swaddle Saga
A while ago (June 22nd to be exact), I put Cameron in his bed, and he was fast asleep. Normally he gets restless in his bed until I swaddle him and then he’s out. I had been considering de-swaddling for a while, but I just didn’t know how to go about it. So, when I…
Dear Cameron: A Love Letter to My Four Month Old
**Disclaimer: I really wrestled with whether I should post this today. Today Cameron is four months old. This really is meant to be a letter to my son about the last month, not just a gimmick for a blog. And so, for the first time, I have written about what is going on that has…
It was bound to happen
I’ve mentioned this before, but Cameron loves to stand. In fact, we can hold this three month old little boy’s hands and he will (slowly) walk a few steps. There are lots of times when he simply isn’t happy unless he is on his feet. On Saturday afternoon, the Hubs was hanging out with Cameron,…
Splish Splash
After we brought Cameron home from the hospital, we bathed him in the baby tub we had. Cameron… tolerated it. Barely. I must admit, I was pretty jealous of all the moms who said that their babies loved bath time. For me, bathing Cameron was a chore. I specifically put it off, then felt guilty…
Mommy Pictures
One of the fifty million MommyBlogs I read is by Meredith who thought up this fabulous idea called “In the Photo Fridays”. The whole idea is that we Moms are always behind the camera taking pictures of our little ones that we rarely have pictures of ourselves. Some day, I am sure that I will…
Happy Canada Day!

Cameron celebrating his very first Canada Day 16 weeks, 5 days old Laura (@LauraORourke) is a photographer who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A wife to Dan and a mother to Cameron, she spends her free time blogging and…
You Make Me Happy When Skies Are Grey
Every once in a while, the full reality of life hits you and you realize that life isn’t always gummy baby smiles and warm snuggles and millions of kisses. Sometimes life is full of aching hearts and extreme loneliness and crocodile tears. And on days like today, when all I want to do is crumple…
Mommy’s FloorBaby
My baby used to love to be cuddled. If he wasn’t in somebody’s arms, he was unhappy. You couldn’t leave him laying on the floor or laying on the bed or sitting in the bouncy chair or sitting in his car seat. You couldn’t even leave him swinging in his swing at his grandparent’s house…
Mommy’s Prayer
We’ve known Cameron has been a fan of music since way back in the pregnancy days. We would go to listen to our friend Bob play music at a local pub, and our little unborn bub shimmied and shook during each performance. And anytime I sang, my little SpaghettiO would be all a-wiggle. Now that…
I Heart Dad
Dan’s Father’s Day gift. Pictures all taken on June 18th. 14 weeks, 6 days old. You should see the way Cameron looks at his Daddy. From the very first week of his life, Cameron has looked up at his Daddy with his big eyes in total awe. It is as if Cameron is hoping to…
