You know how some days just start off the wrong way and then spiral downward from there? I guess my bad day technically started last night when in the span of thirty minutes I smashed my toe twice on the clunkiest furniture we have, resulting in a sore, swollen, and purple digit. So when I […]
Since Buds was born, I’ve been a lot of different type of mums; first time mom, stay at home mom, working mom, pregnant mom, twin mom, preemie mom, and mom of three. Now, I am really starting to think about being a special needs mom. I guess I’ve technically been a special needs mom since […]
My last Twiniversity blog was about giving Buds attention after the girls came home. It wasn’t meant to be a sob story about having three kids, it was more of a reminder of how important it is to ensure that all your kids, no matter how many you have, know that they are loved and […]
Buds is not your typical two year old in many ways. For one thing, he’s a chatterbox and almost never stops talking. He tells stories, but mostly he wants to know about everything. We went to the museum and he wanted to know the names of all the dinosaurs. He loved learning about hieroglyphs and […]
In so many first time posts from new Momo mamas, they’re asking for assurances, asking those of us who have been there to tell them it will all be ok. Of course, we can’t, but I think there are some things I can say. Dear Mama, You have just been given the greatest news; you’re […]
On Sunday, Jason worked alllll day (he left before 8:30 AM and didn’t get home until midnight) so I was home with the kids. The weather was awful so we were stuck inside and had some rough moments throughout the day. I caught myself thinking at one point that it would be so much easier […]
They say chivalry is dead, which may be true, but in so many ways, it just feels like human decency is. The other day, I hopped on the subway with Ella to take her to her appointment at Sick Kids. Driving down there is a massive pain and parking is ridiculous, so I find the […]
What a difference a year makes. This time last year we were just figuring out that I was pregnant. Of course, at that time we had no idea the journey we were in for. Little did we know that I was pregnant with twins, let alone mono mono twins. We had no idea our next […]
Having a toddler and a baby is hard, let alone having two babies. It’s almost impossible to ensure that everyone gets equal attention. It was natural that Jason and Buds hung out together while I took care of the girls; the two of them are like two peas in a pod, and Jason really does […]
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. […]
