(Photo Credit: Christy Heigh) This happens so rarely, but when it does I want to just pause time and sit in the stillness of her sweet breaths, in and out. She still holds her hand next to her face in the exact same way she did as a newborn. You're too fast, time. … [Read more...]
My Dirty Little Secret
I have a confession. I don't really care about the Olympics. I know. You can take away my license to be Canadian right here and now, but I am not one of the millions who have been glued to their televisions watching the lugeing, skiing, skating, snowboarding, etc. We've watched some of the … [Read more...]
It’s Heigh Time
Last week my far-away friend, Christy, along with her husband and four (!) children, spent seven days at our house. It was wild and wonderful and loud and hilarious. Seeing our kids play and connect after years between our last visit (they used to live in the same town as we do, but moved … [Read more...]
Whole30, Here I Come!
Come Monday morning, I am beginning the Whole30 journey. I have dabbled in the Paleo diet this past year and have been feeling the need for a deep reset in my eating habits and approach to food. When life gets busy, I run to the quick, easy fixes like sugary lattes and buttered bagels, foregoing any … [Read more...]
It’s All Downhill From Here
I am a prairie girl at heart: I walked backwards to school so the bone-chilling winter winds wouldn't freeze my face; I had indoor recesses when the temperature dropped to an inhumane low; I hated winter and viewed it a season to be endured rather than enjoyed. Then I scored a BC boy … [Read more...]
Mike From Canmore
I just got back from a glorious mini-holiday to the heart of the Rocky Mountains with one of my dearest girl friends of all time. We hiked, we toured Lake Louise and took in the ice carving festival, we sipped hot cocoa, we watched weird independent films and stayed up late eating junk food, … [Read more...]
Break On Through To the Other Side
A while back, my husband was combing an old external hard drive for a photo he needed and together we ended up falling down the rabbit hole of old pictures and video archives. There was so much footage of our older girls as tiny babies, cooing and gurgling and being all floppy and … [Read more...]
My Nest Is Full
I know they are a tad cliche, but for years I have been wanting a nest necklace with three eggs to remind me of my girls. I ordered one off Esty a couple years ago but it ended up being a scam (who scams on ETSY?!) but finally decided to just go ahead and place another order with a … [Read more...]
Happy New Year!
December was a little wild, wasn't she? Christmas concerts, cookie exchanges, work parties, nervous breakdowns…wow. I love the excitement and magic of the holidays but also kind of wish we could spread out the festivities over the whole winter, since come January we will all be fat, depressed and … [Read more...]
Break a Leg, Brin!
There is something about a little girl in a fancy dress, standing in front of a glowy tree before her Christmas concert where she will get to belt out some off-key carols on a stage. Something really special. … [Read more...]
