We took the kids to Canada's Wonderland yesterday.For the first time. Ever.I think Cam is the only one of his friends who hadn't been yet. And I felt bad. We haven't done much this summer. Sean is just taking holidays now and I have a hard time taking the 3 of them by myself … [Read more...]
Frog Hopping
I posted before about how I am doing this running program with 2 friends. I love it. LOVE it. We run around our community rec centre and it's surrounded by ravine and forest which makes for beautiful surroundings when we run. Except when it rains. You see, when it rains...well...the frogs come … [Read more...]

Connected
When I gave birth to my first child, I delivered him after a two hour labour. They placed him on my chest as soon as he came out of me. I held onto him and looked at him in awe. Of what I had just done. Of who he was. That he was a boy. That he was mine. I … [Read more...]
A Beautiful Boy
This post may come off as arrogant or boastful, and if it does I apologize but for as long as I've been Cuyler's mommy I have had people comment on his looks. Just last weekend 3 different people commented on him. One said "Your son is just beautiful!"Another said "What a lovely face he … [Read more...]
