I doubt there is a single parent out there who appreciates the unsolicited baby advice that gets flung their way. One of my favourite stories was the time Buds was around 14 months and we were quickly grabbing a few things in the grocery store before heading to dinner with a friend. Upon seeing Braeden’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’m not totally sure why as women start to grow a baby belly, every stranger in the world has an opinion to share. Forget about when the actual baby is born and you cannot get five feet without someone telling you what your baby wants or needs. I accepted that with my son, and mastered […]
We’re literally counting down the days until our baby girls are home with us (there’s been whispers of it being this week) and we just have so much last-minute stuff to do. This weekend, Jas and I left Braeden with my parents so that we could visit the girls and then head out to grab […]
Two years ago, I felt my first contraction. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a false contraction and a real one until I felt it, and then I knew. I wasn’t scared, just more nervous since I didn’t know what to expect, but, mostly, excited to meet my […]
