Special moments

June 17, 2013 by Alanna 2 Comments

Now that this babe is almost fully baked I've been really taking in as many moments as possible with L'il E and the Hubs. I'm obviously over-the-top excited about #2, but I'm feeling a little bit sad that my L'il E isn't going to be my baby anymore. What's it going to be like splitting my love and … [Read more...]

Why I Hired a Doula for #2

June 11, 2013 by Alanna 5 Comments

Any mother will tell you that giving birth is a crazy experience. Some are more dramatic than others and that was the case for me when I gave birth to L'il E nearly two and a half years ago. My labour made a sharp left turn about 10 hours in and before we knew it L'il E was delivered via emergency … [Read more...]

I'm finally finished up at work and officially on maternity leave. The last time I worked up until the bitter end, but I knew better than to do that this time around. With just over four weeks to go I've started nesting. Today L'il E and I made a batch of spelt banana chocolate chip muffins, … [Read more...]

Potty Training is BS

May 28, 2013 by Alanna 5 Comments

The last two weeks have been utter chaos in our house. L'il E is making the transition from diapers to underwear and it's been an experience. The books make it all sound so romantic, but potty training or potty "learning" is total BS. I'm not diggin' it! Now I know some kids pick it up right away … [Read more...]

the simple things

May 24, 2013 by Alanna 4 Comments

The funny and weird thing about being a parent is the absolute pleasure you get from doing just a simple thing with your kid. Yesterday after an extremely stressful and worrisome week L'il E and I just sat in our kitchen eating apples and chatting  (toddler speaking) about our day. At that moment I … [Read more...]

homemade bubbles

May 19, 2013 by Alanna Leave a Comment

My L'il E loves bubbles. In fact, he could just blow bubbles all day long and be quite happy. If only I would allow him to blow bubbles in the house - then I would be the best mom ever. It's not even June and we've already blasted through about four large containers of the sudsy stuff. So, this … [Read more...]

only 7 more weeks!

May 17, 2013 by Alanna 4 Comments

People ask me everyday how far along I am and I never know the answer. When I was pregnant with L'il E I knew how many weeks plus days I was, but this time I've just been focused on how many weeks I have left. Just so you know, the number is seven! Only 7 more weeks of uncomfortableness before I … [Read more...]

sustainable mother’s day gifts

May 8, 2013 by Alanna Leave a Comment

This will be my third Mother's Day and while we don't really make a big deal of these Hallmark occasions, I can always expect a little something to acknowledge all my hard work. The online world has been a-buzz with all sorts of Mother's Day gift ideas, but with some inspiration from FoodTank - … [Read more...]

pregnant in nyc

May 6, 2013 by Alanna Leave a Comment

I just got back from a great weekend in NYC. My mom and I went to celebrate a milestone birthday for her and a last hurrah for me before I'm shackled down with another kid. The weekend was busy, but still relaxing and free of responsibilities. We ate amazing food, saw some fab shows on broadway, … [Read more...]
