One year ago I came up with a crazy idea to start my blog. I can’t believe it’s already been a year and I can’t believe people are actually reading my blog. At the time, I didn’t even know what a blog was; but I had so many stories to share and write about my […]
‘Before 40’ bucket list
With my 32nd birthday (today) and our second child’s birth looming around the corner, it got me thinking about my “bucket-list”. Not too long ago, I had fulfilled many items on my list. I went back-packing through Europe for four months, I skydived 10 times in places such as Switzerland, Israel and New Zealand (3 tandem jumps and 7 solo […]
Baby-shower-palooza!
With several friends expecting between July and September, the time for the baby showers has finally arrived. A few weekends ago, I attended two very different, but very special baby showers.

Why this year is the most important mother’s day for me
Last year was probably the most special mother’s day for me. It was my first!! But this year’s mother’s day might be the most important. Not so much for me, but for my mom. You see, it was almost 11 months ago that my mom had a stroke. Luckily, it was just a warning sign. My […]

Our family is expanding!… We’re getting a fur child (and need your help with the name)
Short version: We’re getting a dog, and we need name suggestions!! Long version: John and I always knew that one day, we would get a dog. We just didn’t know when.
