My friend recently faced one of the most devastating news of her life as a parent. She found out she miscarried during her 11 week ultrasound appointment. She found relief in writing down her experience, thoughts and feelings as the days go by from when she found out. She hopes that by sharing her story, […]
An ode to my Da-da for father’s day – by Kyle Fitzpatrick
The first and last person that Kyle sees every day is his dad (my husband), John. It’s no wonder they have such a special and close bond. For this year’s father’s day, Kyle wanted to do something special. Here’s a poem he wrote to his Da-da. Da-da, Thank you for coming to get me out […]
The smartest toddler on earth – and despite what his grandparents think, it’s not my son.
A few weeks ago, while I was at the Toronto Zoo (my favourite new kid-friendly place in Toronto), I met a stay-at-home dad and his 27 month-old son, Jacob. We started chatting as the father overheard me speaking Hebrew with Kyle. He told me that he’s teaching his son four languages: English, French, Hebrew and […]

I don’t want to be JUST mom enough!
If you’re a parent, you’ve most likely seen the newest cover of TIME Magazine which shows a mother with her 3 year-old son breastfeeding while standing on a chair, with the headline “Are you mom enough?”. I first took notice of it last Thursday when just about every other post on my Facebook News Feed had the picture […]
What I really want for mother’s day this year
As a blogger, I’m always checking out a lot of other blogging sites and local mommy sites. The trending topic these days is “what is your ultimate mother’s day gift?” Most people have answered with something along the following lines: Hugs, snuggles and kisses from my kids. Or, spending the entire day with the kids. And […]
Are we raising the next Sidney Crosby?
While my husband and I (okay, mostly my husband) are completely devastated that our beloved Leafs, or any other Canadian team for that matter, didn’t make it (far) in the playoffs this season, we may soon have another reason to cheer. It appears that our 19 month old son is slightly obsessed with hockey. Every morning when […]
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 […]

Her blog is www.sadinthecity.com and I’m constantly waiting for her next post to be published. I can’t get enough of her writing. She also happens to be the inspiration behind me starting my own […]
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. Since we both grow up with dogs, we knew the responsibilities that came along with dog ownership, and we just weren’t ready for it. We figured we’d […]
