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, […]

Battle of the Bulge Update: Month One

How has it been a month already since I decided to rejoin Weight Watchers?? It’s been a great first month. I’ve lost 9 pounds and have 9 pounds left to my pre – twin weight. Guessing around five pounds to go before I can fit in my “skinny” jeans again. Oh man, I particularly miss […]

Calling all Supermoms!

You know how there’s this vision of Pinterest mums? Women who drop their kids off at school in these fabulous outfits with all locally sourced organic lunches who breeze around town in amazing four inch heels and have some super chic job that they love and excel at before coming home and making an amazing,  […]

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 […]

You know my name isn’t Mummy, right?

My parents gave me a name when I was born, as parents do. Sure, my name has resulted in some pretty epic Starbucks fails and always left me wondering if the teacher was calling for me or if there actually was a kid named Alicia in class with me, but I like my name. Now, […]

Bringing up God – less babies

Given that it’s 2015, I’m still pretty amazed about the assumptions we make on a daily basis; gender identity,  sexual orientation,  marital status, even the amount of money we have. But, I really don’t know why we’re still assuming other people’s religious and spiritual beliefs. I don’t think we can say that North America is […]

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 […]
