Oskarisms

My 4yo son has this amazing memory. Basically he remembers everything he hears and all that goes on around him and has since he was about two. This can often be rather cute, but it can also be a bit ...

A Letter to Angus

You are my second child. You were supposed to be my last. But life doesn't always go as planned. The potential injustice of life is something you learned at a very young 10 months old. That is when I became pregnant ...

Left Eye

It is always my left eye that betrays me. That traitorous eye can never make the cut and always reveals me for what I am but hate to be: An emotional and sentimental woman who can't help but well up ...

He Wasn't That Sick Huh?

You’re Just a Crazy Mommy

It was Sunday afternoon and my 11 -Month-Old was not doing so well. His breathing was shallow, he was lethargic and he was way too sleepy. So, I scooped him up and hauled him off to the Walk-In-Clinic at our ...

Gluten Free Lasagna

My Picture Perfect (and yummy) Lasagna

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to write more and here I am, January 24th, and I haven’t even published one post. I am a sucky, sucky blogger momma. What can I say, with two kids I could find the time, with three kids, I ALWAYS have something else I need to do. Today in my free 1 hour and 46 minutes (glorious, heavenly nap time how I love you) I was confronted with the usual; some laundry, lunch clean-up, a messy playroom and dinner prep. I finished it all *insert cheering here* but of course, there was no read more…

Xmas Card Advice

2010 Xmas Card

Ok so I know it is cheesy, but I like to do photo cards for Christmas. I started doing it after we had our first baby and now it has become a bit of a tradition. I am sure some people might love it and some people might hate it but whatever, I still like doing it. The first year I did it I ordered a super expensive Xmas card off of Tiny Prints. It is a great site and their cards are super cute and high quality but they are also really expensive and frankly, with three kids, I read more…

Getting Banged and Losing Lashes

My bangs

You like the title don’t ya… well stop your salivating cause it’s not that type of banging! This banging is less bedroom and more salon. That’s right, a few months ago I got bangs. Now this might not seem like a big deal to you, but for me it was a little bit of a journey that required me getting over my bang-a-phobia It all started when I forced myself to go to a new hairdresser. How did I force myself you ask? Well, I bought a Groupon because I knew my natural frugality would kick in and override my read more…

Hooky, Pooh & Chinese Food

Takeout

My day started with a less than convincing case from my 4yo as to why he should stay home from school today because he wasn’t feeling well. The evidence was flimsy at best. He insisted his stomach was upset and he had a fever. Normally this would have been cause for concern, but a quick check of his temperature revealed he did not have a fever and the fact that he immediately asked when breakfast was, told me that his stomach was likely feeling fine. He’s intuitive and could easily read the skepticism all over my face so he attempted read more…

I Don’t Want to be Anne Geddes

Child-by-Anne-Geddes-141

Yeah so I haven’t written a post lately. Actually I need to be more accurate, I haven’t published a post lately. I have written a few that sat then died in my draft folder. Why didn’t I publish them you ask? Well the basic answer is… they were annoying. After I wrote them I went back and I read them and they made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. You know when you find yourself that gross and annoying it is likely that you could cause a case of the full on heaves in a reader. So read more…
