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...]
Stick-to-it-iveness
This was one of my dad's favourite words. He probably used this word every day my whole life. He hated the idea of giving up and quitting so much so I feel that is part of the reason he has survived so much in the last decade. I thought it was a "dad-ism"- a word my dad made up -as he … [Read more...]
Lost friend.
He takes him everywhere. Squishy Lion was a gift from a friend of mine to the toddler when he was born. She wrote a book - two books, actually - and had returned from her most recent tour with a knit yellow lion who, as it turned out, was soft enough that a newborn's feeble hand could grasp it. … [Read more...]

Things that motherhood is.
I just pulled a piece of linty grilled cheese out from under the sofa. There is banana stuck to everything. At least Spouse found the queen and Raided those ants dead. We didn't used to live like this. Motherhood has been, for me, an exercise in waiving expectations, of shrugging off the … [Read more...]
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother's Day in advance of Sunday. I obviously have no clue what is like to be a mother (unless you count on the dance floor, then I'm one bad mother). But as a father, I get to see firsthand how important a mother is in raising children. Speaking of being a father, it's amazing to see the … [Read more...]
