So, remember how last Thursday I was just getting over a cold and I was looking forward to being healthy and working out again? Well, a couple of hours after that blog was posted, I ended up at the doctor’s office getting a prescription for an ear infection. Of course, this meant that I have…
Mommy NIP
Well, it is World Breastfeeding Week, so I thought I would dedicate a blog post to the way my baby has gotten food for the last five months of his life. My sister noticed the badge on the right hand side of my blog and decided to comment when she saw me nursing Cameron at…
Sharp Little Bugger
It is tough being the Mommy of a teething baby. Cameron started drooling in May (around two months old). From that point on, I noticed lots of teething symptoms. Some people told me “Oh, he can’t be teething – babies don’t do that this early”, but I knew some things they didn’t. I knew that…
Mommy and Daddy’s Great Sleep Debate
So, Cameron moved to his crib last Monday night. Kinda. I guess I should start at the beginning, because honesty? This one simple change of beds wasn’t so simple. When Cameron came home from the hospital, he spent all of his nights in the cradle that I spent my first nights in. We have a…
Mommy Pictures: Mommy of One (For Now)
So, I’m not pregnant. WHAT?! Okay, I am not trying to get pregnant, nor did I really think I was pregnant. But I did pee on a stick yesterday. You see, a post-pregnant body goes through some major changes. And sometimes, these changes are confusing and I, for one, am sometimes confused as to what…
Thinner Thursday
I’ve tried to work out before. Do you know what has always been my downfall? Getting sick. Each and every time I get myself into a routine, sickness strikes and I fall out of it, never really getting back into the swing of things. Do you remember what I have been dealing with during this…

Mommy’s Nerves
This past week has been crazy (the lack of posts are not because I’m lazy, but because I haven’t been able to find the time). We’ve been fighting these colds, I’ve thrown a bachelorette party, Cameron and I have visited my Mom, and I have a lot of work on my plate. Combine this with…
Sick Babies
(Please take note: While inside this post, all italics are meant to be read with an English accent. Make sure you watch the video to understand why.) Our house is full of sick men right now. Have you ever seen a sick man before? It is pretty much exactly like this: Yup, my husband has…
Sparrow
I am so unaware. I am so naive. Last week, after taking the ferry to Halifax to meet Dan after work, we were walking home. We weren’t walking as fast as some of the other ferry passengers who had just debarked the ferry because we were pushing the stroller uphill. By the time we crested…
Mommy Pictures: Family Outing
Sometimes in the summer, it gets hot outside. And usually, when it gets hot outside, it gets hot inside… and it stays hot, even when it starts to cool down outside. Last Friday, we had one of those days. Normally, I try to get Cameron ready for bed between 7 and 8pm. But last Friday,…
