Sometimes I feel bad for the girls being simultaneously the second and third child. When I was pregnant with Buds, I kept a scrapbook with all the special things I did when I was pregnant and kept it going after he was born; creating scrapbook pages for each month, keeping track of every new experience. […]
After the girls were first born, whenever we asked Braeden the names of his sisters he was always quick to yell Ella! but often needed help remembering Raegan’s name. At first, I thought it was because her name is a little harder to say, but since it’s so similar to his, I wondered if it […]
On Sunday, Jas and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. The biggest surprise of the day, I think, was how fast it came. Of course, the year didn’t really speed up like in some science fiction movie, but it sure feels that way. I can honestly say that most couples do not go through what […]
Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving here in Canada. Since I lived in America for so long, I used to celebrate both Thanksgivings, and both had different feelings for me. Canadian Thanksgiving always reminded me of home and family, and mmm sweet potato mash. American Thanksgiving was always the beginning of the holidays and I still put […]
The other day, I was chatting with another mum about the girls. I shared a little of our story and she asked how long the girls had spent in the NICU. I responded, “80 days.” She laughed, “Not that you were counting!” I did not laugh or return her smirk because, of course I counted […]
Well, nine months. Nine whole months of having two sweet baby girls as part of our family. I can’t believe that so soon it will be their first Christmas and then first birthdays! Of course, the girls are about six and a half months corrected, but I have to say, they’re doing phenomenally. Raegan is […]
At the beginning, it was a struggle for me to handle all three kids by myself and make sure that they all got attention, especially Buds. I found ways to incorporate him into our daily routine based on the things he loves. In the end, I don’t want regrets when it comes to my kids, […]
We’re back from our whirlwind adventure to Chicago and managed to all survive the trip! We were gone five days, but with a full day of driving there and a full day back, we had to cram lots of fun into only three days. We really approached the drive with no expectations. The drive from […]
We’re pretty lucky seeing as my bestie’s mum is a fabulous photographer who would probably kill me if I allowed anyone else to photograph my children. She’s taken maternity shots for us during both pregnancies and did Braeden’s first birthday shots, which are all incredible. Last month, we grabbed all the kids and pretended to […]
Well, it’s official; the girls are closer to their first birthday than their birth. I can’t believe how fast time has gone and how far our entire family has come. Raegan spends 90% of her time on her tummy and looks like she is DYING to crawl. I would not be surprised if one day […]
