Along with the crows' feet, sagging bosom and inability to stay up past 10:30 pm, a more recent sign of my aging is the fact that I can't handle wearing high-heeled shoes for more than, like, 15 minutes. Back in my "barefoot and pregnant" days, this was no problem. I was schlepping kids around in … [Read more...]
Momma Magic
My mom was here for a visit this week and she helped me pick up the pieces. Literally.This is what my house looked like before she arrived:And this is what it looked like when she left:Not seen: me cheering in the corner just like Brinley.My mom is the patron saint of frazzled mothers. She swoops in … [Read more...]
Wild and Free
My wild things: Each of them so vastly different, so beautiful in their own ways, so flawed, so growing, so lovely. I am blown away by the life that fills our home and I am so thankful for these crazy, rambunctious girls we get to call ours. … [Read more...]
Day of the Momma
Mother's Day: was mine perfect? No way. There were still bums to wipe, lunches to pack for the next day, temper tantrums to endure and sibling fights to break up. But there was also Eggs Benedict on a sunny patio. And homemade gifts. And a nap. And the three beautiful girls who have made me … [Read more...]
Test of Humanity
Being the fat kid sucks. I was overweight from the age of 8 - 15 and it was brutal. All my friends had boyfriends, but I didn't. Gym class was agonizing. I felt so uncomfortable in my own skin, betrayed by my frame. Then, I lost weight (in a totally unhealthy, stupid way) and began a roller … [Read more...]

I longed for a phone with a better camera, one that had access to the internet so I could use it as a GPS, and also be able to … [Read more...]
(Don’t) Say My Name
I was pregnant three times. That equaled over 27 months to stew about our future babies' names. And stew I did. My husband and I did not exactly see eye to eye about names. Here's how it would go: I would spend hours combing baby name books and blogs and come up with a list of potential names. … [Read more...]
Sucks To Be Two
The day Brinley turned two years old, her will emerged. And it was a strong one, that will. No surprise there, it seems to be how we breed them. Two is such a wonderful, yet hard age. She is SO cute and her vocabulary and level of understanding grow everyday, so fast I can barely keep up. But … [Read more...]
Now That’s Smart!
I suck at cleaning. While I appreciate a clean house, I have yet to master the art of maintaining one. That being said, when spring comes along and the sunlight begins to stream through the windows and the kids start playing outside again, I usually get hit with a (short-lived) desire to tackle … [Read more...]

"There's six feet of snow on the lawn and it's minus 25 degrees with the windchill!" my mom choked out yesterday. She lives in Saskatchewan. Poor bunny. This … [Read more...]
