Pictures of your baby make me sad

Go on any type of social media for five minutes and you’ll be bombarded with pictures of babies at all ages and stages of development.  Our kids are our pride and joy and we love to show them off. I am no exception to this and love to see squishy baby photos, especially babies that […]

Calling all firemen!

I cannot believe my little bear is three! What a special birthday this was,  his first really being aware of what a birthday actually is. Per his request, we celebrated with a firetruck party! While the party won’t make any BuzzFeed lists, I think the theme was present from the firetruck balloons to the favours, […]

Happy Birthday, Baby Boy!!

Exactly three years ago, only one day past his due date, I was experiencing contractions every minute and could not sit or lie down. By 10 PM, my water burst everywhere and after being run dramatically down the hospital corridor to a labour and delivery room, Braeden entered the world and made me a mama. […]

We’re 13 months old!

Thirteen months! Next month the girls will be at their corrected one year, which is hard to believe though they seem to change every day. Raegan is 18 pounds and 28 inches long and has six teeth (the top front four and bottom two) and is getting more. Those canines are definitely getting ready to […]

He’s not a baby anymore

On Sunday, I took Braeden to a birthday party. We’ve probably been to forty or so before,  but this one was extra special. The reason?  This is Buds’ friend from school, in other words, a friend he made all on his own, not one of my friends’ kids. It’s amazing to see him grow up […]

Let me tell you about a girl named Ella

Amazing Ella, that should be her full name, though I am quite partial to Ella Noël.  Honestly, she is amazing. This is a girl who fought hard for her life when she was smaller than a football. A girl who has spent the first year of her life at appointment after appointment. A girl who […]

The making of a year

Since the girls were born, I’ve been taking pictures of them and keeping track of every day. After they were born ten weeks early and spent 80 days in the NICU, every day seemed special, even the days where we really didn’t do much at all. Until the girls were born, I didn’t really get […]

We’re one year old!

Wow, one year! I can’t believe how fast the time has gone by and how long ago their births seem. The girls are only nine months corrected so I decided to forego a big first birthday bash and instead keep it simple with just dinner and cupcakes tonight. My plan is to celebrate their one […]

Is there a holiday after the holidays?

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am the most Christmassy person there is. I look forward to it every year and do my best to make it special. But, man it’s exhausting. People without kids can at least get a couple of days to recover; sleep, binge watch Netflix, while us parents March into January […]

Reflections of a year

In only a few hours it will officially be a new year. Some who had a year like ours may say good riddance to 2014, but this year, though filled with many challenges, brought me two sweet baby girls. Everyone keeps sharing their years on Facebook and I watched mine to see the random pictures […]
