My husband and I apparently missed the baby boat. Or in our case, we jumped ship too early. As it turns out, we know 17 couples that are expecting their first child between now and August. Apparently the Mayans had it all wrong. 2012 is the year of the baby! I guess this shouldn’t surprise […]
My 16 month old son is a bully
It didn’t really hit me until last month. I’d seen this behaviour show it’s ugly little face before, but I never thought it was a persistent problem. It only hit me during our last playdate when we basically scared my friend and her son away*. I immediately messaged my husband at work and said “I […]
For the good of Momdom
My beautiful and talented friend, Yasmine, has graciously offered to write a guest post for my blog; offering a new perspective on all things motherhood. A wife and loving mother of one of the cutest little boys I know, here is her story: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Maya said she was looking for a guest blog I […]
30 (+) days challenge heading into Spring break
We leave for Hawaii in just over a month (March 7th to be exact) and I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve been in a bit of a work-out ‘rut’ lately. I’ve just had no desire or motivation to do anything. With Kyle becoming a Toddler, working out during the day is mostly out of the question […]
Kyle’s birth story
I’ve recently came across a cool blog by a fellow Torontonian, called http://thebirthstoriesblog.wordpress.com/ Carolyn has blogged about the birth of her son, and wanted to share birth stories of other women on her blog. I thought this was a great idea, and decided to contribute to her blog with details (sparing anything gross) about Kyle’s […]
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 […]
Top 10 things a stay-at-home parent of a toddler can’t live without
My favourite part about New-Years is all of the countdowns and “top 10 / top 100” lists. So here’s my top 10 list of things a stay-at-home parent of a Toddler can’t live without. I would love to hear what tops your list for staying sane! 10. TV. Specifically, Treehouse and Disney Junior. Kyle’s current favourites […]
Feeling guilty. Also known as being a mother
Being Jewish with Israeli parents of Polish decent, I grew up with a lot of guilt in my life. It was my parents go-to mantra for discipline. I grew up feeling guilty if I got 98% on a test and not 100%. Guilty for getting my car towed the first time I drove it downtown […]
Ladies, can you keep a secret?
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 […]
