I'm creeping admiring the Facebook statuses of some of my guy friends. There are a few dudes (Craig, Jason, Albert and others) that I love getting their status updates from. Why? It's heartwarming - they are clearly in love with their wives. Really. It melts a girl's heart to see this affection in … [Read more...]
Shadiness: The Christmas Babies
Around the holidays when my mother came to visit, we got busy making a little bed for the dolls Ava Scarlett was to receive for Christmas. My mother gave her one doll, and Santa brought her the other. I ordered a bunch of stuff online and had it all shipped directly to the cottage, where we … [Read more...]
Dinos and Mario and Monster Trucks Oh MY!
I wanted a boy. I've told you this before. It's no secret. I always considered myself a tomboy and thought what the hell would I do if I had a girl? The day I found out Will was a boy was a happier day for me than when I found out I was pregnant. Seriously. That's when I cried tears of joy … [Read more...]
New Year, New Pics!
On the first day of the New Year, while my hard-working husband was on the roof shovelling off the 45 centimetres that fell in the days prior, I was inside, still warm in my jammies, and opted instead to take pictures of our kids. (As if helping him was an option. Me? Roof?! SNOW??! … [Read more...]
JK Musical?
I've been pretty relaxed on scheduling Will for things. We've done some swimming lessons (repeating Level 1 for the fourth time this spring) and a few soccer classes. Last summer we did nothing. I really don't want to be the over scheduling type of parent. I want him to be a … [Read more...]
The Sweet Silence of Down Time
As I sat down to write this morning, I was shocked to see how long it's been since my last post. And although I would prefer I had written more faithfully on my blog, I can honestly say I've enjoyed these last few quiet weeks. I've been rather silent on social media, and days have gone by where I … [Read more...]
Do you have bedwetters?
One of my children (I won't give his name because my children do read my posts from time to time) is a chronic bedwetter and has shown no signs of stopping.At first I thought it was due to anxiety as it really escalated when he started school, and from then on it just continued. At first he … [Read more...]
words for wednesday on thursday- “is it real?”
We went to the Nutcracker ballet today for maybe the 14th time since my children were born. The first year my mom took us - my eldest was four and whispered in a really loud voice "Is it real?" and that is what it is when ballet or any art form is really good. It transports you. It takes you out … [Read more...]
my favourite thing this week- all of it
I have loved the commotion this week. I think many love peace but I seem to love commotion. So many people around, in and out, parties and unplanned visits and teenagers everywhere and long chats and short jokes and lots of work that made me feel proud and happy, taking my niece and my daughters … [Read more...]
naughty and nice
I have had my moments of both this year. I hope you have too. Highlights of naughty include eating a 2kg bag of jubjubes over an undisclosed period of time and leaving only the green ones which we all know taste like mouthwash. Some other naughty stuff too but that post is for another … [Read more...]
