In the thick of our sleeplessness I shared an article on my personal Facebook page that author Emily Writes had written on the subject. I had read the article over and over again, days apart, and cried each time. I read it to my husband aloud and cried again. I thought that by posting it,…
Chicken Soup with Zucchini Noodles
This was a bit of a throw together but a couple of people asked for the recipe so I’m going to do it from memory because jeepers she was tasty! And healthy, tick! To cook the chicken and make the stock Sauté 1 diced onion and 1 diced carrot then add the whole chicken and…
Makeup Shake Up : The Mum Edition
Okay friends, confession time. I have been a tad lazy in the old appearance department. I used to find it hard to leave the house without makeup on, now it’s the opposite and I can go for a week without even applying foundation (shock horror!) While I wholeheartedly admire others that feel comfortable doing this…
Unforgettable Gems
Oh hey there my babes, Here’s the thing, I often just stare at you both, trying to commit your intricate beauty to memory. I yearn to remember just how you are at this very moment, but in case my memory fails me here are some gems that I can’t bear to forget. Hunter, it’s the…
Thank You For Having Enough Love
The first time I met Shawny was on my door step, she was the first babysitter we ever had for Hunter. She came highly recommended by a good friend of ours who owns a childcare center and I immediately saw why, she was an absolute natural with Hunter. Fast forward a year or so and…
Snuggle Up Sunday : What I’m Reading
I read a lot. Well I haven’t actually read a whole actual book since before Hunter was born, but I read a lot… online. Often at crazy times of the day, so the articles have to be quick enough that they hold my interest, but not too mindless that it makes me feel like mother hood has sucked my brain…
Seesawing the highs and lows of parenting with a complete stranger
We started talking over the seesaw. Her with one, me with two. I’d had a rough night with both the baby and the toddler taking turns- up, down, up, down. My guard was down; I was tired. We chatted away, the toddlers’ heads bobbing beneath us. It didn’t take long for us to learn we had a few…
Our Feeding Journey
It’s a bit like a dream. Or a nightmare. I can remember certain snippets, but the rest is fuzzy; the pain, the stress & even the triumph, it’s all blurry. I’ve forgotten all the intricate details. I suppose that’s self-preservation. Inspired by the breast collective I think it’s time to dig deep, to recall the…
Hunters 2nd Birthday – The Dinosaur Party
This year we decided to keep Hunters party intimate. I knew that a couple of his friends were having larger parties so I was confident he wasn’t ‘missing out’. I also wanted everyone to be able to spend time with each other, including (selfishly?) me. I love hosting parties but since having children have tried…
