Anyone who knows me, knows I’m obsessed with pictures. I’m only an amateur but I’ve been attached to a camera for as long as I can remember. Of course, for special occasions, I leave the picture taking to the professionals, including my wedding, special family events and sometimes vacation pictures. The only thing I haven’t captured on film (or […]
What would you do…? Overhearing a child talk about gun violence
Fact: gun violence in Canada is not as bad as it is in the states. Stricter laws make it harder (but not impossible) to get a gun here. It’s also not a social norm to own a gun in Canada whereas it’s common practice in some American states. Reality: Canada is not immune from gun […]
10 reasons why it’s hard being a toddler
While Kyle’s babyhood went by too fast for me, I’ve really enjoyed watching him grow as a toddler. Especially since he turned 2! He has such a personality, and his high-energy is so contagious. Of course, there’s the other side of toddlerhood where I often find Kyle frustrated, mad or crying. This is obviously not a […]
The worst kids book ever, and not because it’s about the Maple Leafs
Lucky for us, Kyle LOVES books. He can literally sit down for a full hour and listen to me read book after book. I actually read the entire page, no short-cuts, from start to end. If anything, I’m the one that has to ask him if it’s okay to stop reading books because I just […]
Have you seen my son’s pacifiers?
My 27 month old son is obsessed with his pacifierS. The problem is, they keep disappearing on us. I don’t know where they go or how they get lost, but they do. I kid you not, but we’ve probably purchased over 100 pacifiers in his lifetime. If you’ve ever purchased any before, you know they’re […]
Difference between a first and second pregnancy
As my second pregnancy comes to an end, I had some time (read: sleepless nights) to reflect back about my current pregnancy and my first one. I realized that there’s a lot of differences actually. Here’s some of the major ones that came to mind for me: During my 1st pregnancy, my husband came along […]
My one year blogiversary!
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 […]
My favourite things for newborn babies
I may not be Oprah (okay, I’m nowhere near like Oprah), but I have my own list of favourite things. Specifically, for newborn babies. With the holiday season upon us, and the birth of our second child around the corner, it got me in the mood for some shopping! Okay, I’m always in the mood for […]
Awesome work benefits for parents
Prior to my current gig as a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM), I worked for a large, multi-national corporation. While the pay was decent, the benefits were better. Specifically, they had some great benefits to assist parents. You know, the work-life balance thing. Beyond the standard paternity / maternity leave and top-up, and work-life-balance workshops, my work offered […]
Confessions of a stay at home mom (SAHM)
I always imagined that being a stay at home mom would allow me to do some of the things that I didn’t get to do while I was in the workforce. I pictured myself visiting different neighbourhoods throughout Toronto, walking around, discovering new stores and enjoying the fresh air or a nice cup of coffee. […]
