My Asos Maternity package arrived on Friday and I finally have a few things to wear (pictured above). Despite the free shipping and inexpensive prices I did have to pay a hefty duty fee when my package arrived - $60!! My two favourites are the grey zip up hoodie (it fits perfectly) and the navy … [Read more...]
West coast, baby.
It's almost beach season on the west coast! Please don't tell me how much rent is in your city because I need to believe it's worth what I pay to live here. … [Read more...]
We get wild.
My parents are watching the toddler for the night because we're going out for dinner, and they picked him up this afternoon to take him away which gave us a long stretch of freedom before we had to be where we needed to go. My first order of business was a long, solitary shower. The kind where no … [Read more...]
A Green Education
"Education isn't for getting a job. It's about developing yourself as a human being." ― Liz Berry, The China Garden I may have dropped out of university in my early 20s, but I am one of those people you might call a "lifelong learner". The only thing keeping me from going back to school and … [Read more...]
The Story of Rory (I’m a poet and didn’t even realize it)
My first blog was about the birth of my son Travis, so to make things fair; I thought my second should be about the birth of my wee-man Rory. The differences between the two births were drastic. Travis was old school: water broke, went to the hospital, wife did majority... ok, all of the work, and … [Read more...]
Cheerleading and Lessons for Life

I write about a range of different … [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...]
Got Kids’ Art? Hang It!

Those crayon drawings with "Mom" scrawled across them in shaky crayon...they really are the most beautiful pictures … [Read more...]
motherhood:repetition is 9/10ths of the law
One of the worst things about being a mom is the repetition of really, really, really, boring things if you aren't careful they can make you really, really, really boring (Sometimes I worry these frequently said phrases might end up on my tombstone) empty your lunch bag clean your room eat … [Read more...]
If Only It Was Easy To Let Go
I started writing this blog post in my head yesterday, (where I write most of them and then slap it down here as fast as I can before I forget), before the bombing at the Boston Marathon. Then I didn't feel like writing it because ... well my brain was busy with other things. Also, I knew there … [Read more...]
