I got a kink in my neck. You know, one of those ones you get when you are just “standing” there… doing nothing. You feel it go, it “twinges” and you know it is going to take days to work […]
There are certain sounds you want your hubby to wake up to on Fathers day. The sound of bacon frying? Coffee perking? Excited kids preparing their gifts for dad. Things like that. NOT the sound of vomit hitting the floor. […]
We are fixers, the hubby and I. If something is broken, we fix it. Quickly. If the stove is broken, we fix it or replace it. If our life is broken, anywhere, we do the same. But sometimes things can’t […]
I am a bit of an orphan. That’s a long story and not really what I’m looking to write about here so we will just leave that part right there. So without getting into the gritty details, I am an […]
It wasn’t exactly what I had planned for mothers day. And in all truth, I hadn’t really planned much. We always go “light” on holidays. Light in terms of expenses, and expectations. We keep it simple and quality. Good food, […]
We struggled with 8 years about moving. We drank in MLS listings, we tried on different ideas and options for our life, but were constantly held back by making the actual decision. Maybe if we had been more honest with […]

If your family is like ours, you have been battling virus’s and illness all winter. I am starting to put some belief into those stories about a virus taking down the entire population. We have been sick for almost 6 […]
Balancing working from home (virtually full-time) with part-time daycare and school pick ups can get a little overwhelming. These past few weeks have been especially difficult to navigate, especially with spring break, a sick pre-schooler, and a sick ME! It […]
Life is busy, we say this all the time. And as moms, it is even crazier. We all see the funny cartoons running through our news feed about how moms only wish is to go to the bathroom by herself. […]
From dawns cracking until he closes his eyes at night, our little boy fills every single moment, nay second, of the day, with words. It’s great? At 3 and a little bit his vocabulary is extensive, he has descriptive words, […]
We all have them, little things we did that seemed like a good idea at the time. And then, time passes, and suddenly these little things, start to have a life of their own. City TV is releasing a new […]
I have been doing a lot of things lately that scare me. Like really scare me. Like belly rumbling. Palms sweating. Doubts overwhelming my brain. Little leaps really, but scarey none the less. And I think by continually doing these […]
This year was supposed to be all about simplifying. It was about cleaning my cupboards, asking for help, and focusing on what I do best. And now, 3 weeks into the year, I am wondering if I should have chosen a different […]
