It seems rather weird to say that my son got the Measles — he’s on an alternative vaccine schedule, and I did miss his MMR because he was sick, but in this day and age you think it wouldn’t be common to say that he got them! Fortunately they are rather easy to deal with, [...]

I’m going to be starting up a new Blog-series, about Creativity and the Process of being Creative {in respect to crafting}! So, please stay tuned for more on this!

Ahhh, the sweet nighttime sounds – none of them mixed in with a touch of baby. We’ve been doing a regular routine with Shannen the past couple weeks and the progress is amazing! He’s going to bed regularly at 6.30, falling asleep by 7, and sleeping until 10-10.30! That’s an awesome chunk of sleep that [...]

It’s been crazy at our house the past three weeks. We’ve been doing kitchen reno’s. And by ‘we,’ I mean ‘my husband,’ the fabulous man that he is! The unfortunate bit is that my kitchen is a disaster – it’s hard to get in there to cook, clean or put away anything. My top cupboards [...]

Shannen is almost one year old! He’s much more “talkative” and enjoys getting into everything Mommy doesn’t want him to. He can pull himself up but he hasn’t really tried to walk yet – I’m kind of glad for this! Our household has many new changes recently, the biggest change is that I’ve gone back [...]

Arg! No, I’m not trying to be a pirate, but rather that’s my frustration coming through! This cute little face won’t take a bottle! We’re trying sippy cups, but our old one was very leaky, so I purchased a new one – it’s a transitional from nipple, nubbin and then cup! I also purchased the [...]

I realised this afternoon that my darling little son will soon be 9 months old. That’s 9 months that I’ve been a new mommy. That’s 18 months since we first found out we would be a family of 3. That’s too fast. I feel neglectful and apprehensive. I’ve been neglecting the blog since Shannen’s birth [...]

We said goodbye to a dear friend recently, he was one of our beloved cats. He was only 6 years old. His favourite things were laps, fish, getting dirty and eating grass. It was a real blow to us when it happened. It wasn’t a slow affair, although the day felt long and heavy. It [...]

Do I know what time it is? Yeah, I do. It’s the time of the night where I should be happily sleeping alongside my darling husband and son. Instead, I’m wide awake with a throbbing headache, restless legs and a brain that won’t stop thinking. I’m making lists, recounting the days events, trying to figure [...]

The last couple days I’ve had very little sleep and I feel like I’m running on fumes! Shannen has been waking up every 2-3 hours, and I can count on one hand how many nights I’ve gotten 4 or more hours of sleep. I feel really bad, but I think it’s because he’s teething and [...]
