Through a series of random and unforeseen events, I found myself with the ability to spend some one-on-one time with Braeden this past weekend. With three little kids, a full-time job, and only one me, it feels almost impossible sometimes to have individual time with each of the kids. Unfortunately, most of my one-on-one time […]
I’ve written a lot about letting go of some parenting dreams and expectations when you’re parenting a child with special needs or different abilities. The milestones shift. The path diverts. It really is like heading off on an adventure through the fog; sometimes, the fog engulfs you, stings you, leaves you battered, and other times, […]
It’s hard to believe that just three years ago, I was pregnant with the girls, just trying to get them to be born, not much thinking beyond that. I assumed if they could just be born, just make it that far, that all would be right in the world, and I’d have two adorable, chubby […]
Well if the babies aren’t exhausted from their first Christmas, I sure am. Probably why it’s taken me almost a week to write about it! Since my family has four birthdays in December plus Christmas, the celebrations last almost all month. We visited the 12 decorated Christmas trees at the Gardner Museum, went to the […]
Today is Rememberance Day in Canada (Veteran’s Day in America) and I always tend to think about my grandparents this time of year. Though we have family who fought in both world wars, World War II stays with me the most. Maybe because both my grandfathers fought in the war, or maybe because the unthinkable […]
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 […]
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 […]
I cannot imagine there’s too many mamas who would be ok with leaving their children at home for an extended hospital stay. Not knowing how long I’ll be in here, not knowing how much and what I’ll miss is hard. I’m thankful that Buds is in a good age, he is not so little that […]
