Growing up my parents were really big into traveling, and I got the “bug”. Travelling definitely tops my list of “hobbies”. When we had Kyle, I was excited to continue traveling like we always had, plus baby! We’ve been very fortunate to travel a bunch since the birth of our son Kyle. The first “trip” […]
The best group I ever joined
One of the best things that I did with Kyle his first year was joining a mom’s group. We came together as each one of us knew one person, who knew another, and so on, until there were 8 of us (some months later, a few other mom’s joined as well). The youngest (my son […]

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. It’s something that you’ve probably heard about but never knew anyone who experienced it. It’s a dirty little secret that no one talks about, but it happened to me. It’s called the baby blues, and yes, I had them! When I was about 4 months […]
T’is the season of Chrismukkah
It’s December, and that means that the holidays are upon us. I’m Jewish and I married a non-Jew. My husband, John, describes himself as half-Jewish and half-Oshawa, the city he grew up in. This also happens to be partially the rational behind our son Kyle’s middle name – Joshua or Jew-Oshawa. Amazing – I know! As my husband […]
