My love of writing initially lead me to start this blog. I’m not a big talker, and writing has always been easier. I love sharing my adventures with you, and airing my frustrations as I navigate mamahood. In my constant quest for putting myself out there via my writing, I have started blogging for Twiniversity.

Today I ran into the bank, which in and of itself is weird as I usually try to do the whole ATM thing as much as possible. Standing in line, I noticed that there were posters on the wall and one teeny, tiny diaper. Of course, I know that diaper well, it’s the micro-preemie one […]
I have never really felt that boys need to be constantly clad in blue and girls in pink. I think the idea is old fashioned at best. When Buds was younger, he wore boy clothes, but they weren’t covered in baseballs or emblazoned with the words “I am a boy,” still I felt it was […]
Today officially marks the girls’ 160th day of life, and after spending 80 days in the NICU, the girls have been home 80 days. For every day that a nurse took care of our girls, I have taken care of them. For every surgery, blood transfusion, and head ultrasound that Ella received, my girls have […]
Sometimes, I envy dads. They get to be the fun one and never have to deal with the drama that accompanies motherhood. I have never once heard a dad comment on another dad’s outfit, the fact that he was having another beer, or even a parenting choice. Stories are told with laughter, not judgment, even […]
Five months! Where has the time gone? Next month is half a year already! The girls are 11 weeks corrected, which means soon we’ll be out of the fourth trimester/newborn stage and moving into infancy! They’re already interested in so much, and I love watching them see things for the first time. The girls continue […]
I recently saw a post on BabyCenter that was about your parenting style based on whether or not you found out your baby’s sex while pregnant. Curious, I clicked through and had to roll my eyes. The blog was about a study that had been completed with women who found out their baby’s sex and […]
As someone who used to live in Chicago, I have often thought about what it would be like if I had had my girls in America, instead of Canada. For one thing, I’d be broke. Unless I had killer health insurance, my three week semi-private stay and the weekly doctor visits, ultrasounds, and specialist’s appointments […]
We recently headed to the park as a family, and as Jason and Braeden ran around on the playground, I chatted with another mum. This was already a big deal for me, as I usually tend to keep to myself. Jason is always on me to put myself out there and make friends, but in […]
While I’m thrilled to be so close to such an amazing hospital as Sick Kids, I found myself getting anxious with every step as I got closer to the front door this morning for Ella’s appointments. As I pushed her through the doors and wove my way through the halls to ultrasound, I realized how […]
