Within weeks, if not days, of pushing out your first kid, you’re inevitably bombarded with people asking when you’re going to have the next one. Most new mums become like deer in the headlights as they’re just trying to survive their first, let alone plan for any additional bundles of joy. But, having twins seems […]
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. […]
The other day I was walking through our neighbourhood and overheard two women talking about attachment parenting and a book they were reading about it. One of the women was saying that she was following the book word for word, while the other was struggling to make it work. As a social worker, I’m pretty […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yesterday at the pool, after my swim, as I was struggling to change under my towel, one of the older ladies walked by completely naked. As in, buck. I felt like I was in an episode of Sex and the City, with Samantha plowing through, bush first, and me as Charlotte, in a head-to-toe muumuu, […]
Yesterday, I bought Buds one of those ice cream cone cookies at Starbucks as a treat. On our walk home, a woman actually came up to me and told me he shouldn’t be eating cookies. I’m sorry, what? I double checked to make sure I wasn’t wearing a sign asking for advice on my parenting. […]
Jason recently asked me if I could push our stroller while holding onto my drink. “This is the Mercedes of strollers,” I told him. “It can do anything.” When I was pregnant with Braeden, I didn’t really pay much attention to the luxury strollers, because we just couldn’t afford them. We had the worst luck […]
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 […]
