I just tucked Isaac into bed, he cooed at me a little.  I stood there and just stared at his smiles for a moment and rubbed his head.  That boy is the sunshine in my day.  Silas is too when he’s not freaking out.  I find Isaac’s face to be really relaxing, almost theraputic.  His… Continue reading Light Therapy!

Goodness I’m feeling better.  I was pretty down for the last month or so.  I was really stressed about Christmas and how everything was going to work with Silas’ peanut allergy.  Then I got the post holiday blues which isn’t helpful.  I have some theories about the post holiday blues.  I think part of it… Continue reading LAUNDRY!!!

I feel like I have a lot to talk about today, I’ll split it up into segments and you can read the parts you’re interesting in. But you have to read this first bit. I think I’ve found my salvation! My salvation Courtenay introduced me to a website called Flylady and I had no idea… Continue reading I’ve Got my Shoes on

Every morning I go get Silas from his crib, bring him to my bed and have a cuddle. This morning I was thinking I should try and write out our conversation the best I can. I usually sing to try and keep him in there as long as possible so I can keep my eyes… Continue reading The Morning Cuddle

I guess we can put that one last nail in the coffin of my sanity. It seems as though life as I know it is about to drastically change. Last night I put my mug of Rickards Red down on the floor and, much to my dismay, watched as Ikey stiffly crawled across the floor… Continue reading He Crawls!

Ugh, I have a bit of the post holiday blues.  Back to normal life, no more excitement.  The hardest is knowing Brent wont have time off like that again for a whole year.  Grrr. Having chronic depression really doesn’t help the matter.  Mine is very controlled but it’s like I’m always on the cusp of… Continue reading Angry Two Year Old Sends Mother Into the Loonie Bin

So, my national television debut has happened. It was completely anti-climactic because it happened in a different country and I haven’t yet been able to see it. They do show my tidbit in an ad for the film so you can go watch it here. There, I’m officially famous…or something like that. I’m also mortified… Continue reading The Triple Nipple Club

I wish I wasn’t so tired. I wish I could stop thinking about organizing my house and just do it. I wish I wasn’t such a home body. I wish I had more energy. I wish I had an actual brain to mouth filter. I wish that people would love each other more than money.… Continue reading 25 Wishes

Well, 2008 has arrived.  We welcomed the new year with Colin and Leanne.  They put Lucas to bed in our playpen in our room and I think it worked out perfectly.  Although, I do not know how it went on their drive home and whatnot. We had really amazing…um…*place in weird word here*…horse dovers?  Lets… Continue reading New Years Blueberries

Wow, Ikey turned 7 months old yesterday. I know everyone says this, but I must reiterate that time indeed goes by wickedly fast. My little munchkin is getting so big. We’re over half way done the baby stage, I hate that. I love where he is right now. He’s not quite crawling so my world… Continue reading 7 Months Old!!

The world of color has now opened up to Silas.  Either this boy is a liiiitle extra extra or some parents don’t take the time to teach their kids colors.  Everything is now being named for it’s color.  We’ve gotten down blue, green, orange, purple, yellow, red and brown.  Today I taught him white so… Continue reading Ready for Pre-School?

Silas has croup, Ikey has a fever, I’m sick with something.  Ikey wont stop crying unless he’s sleeping.  I’ve spent two nights in bed with a toddler (which I actually enjoyed…mmmm cuddles).  I think Isaac was up like 15 times last night.  Yaaaay. The good thing about this?? It’s Christmas and Silas can’t scream when… Continue reading Merry Christmas

So it’s official.  I can’t stay away.  Must blog. I’ve realized that I’ve been doing more exercise than normal these days.  I’m sore from all the food I’ve been munching on.  My jaw is literally…sore.  I really don’t feel like I’ve been eating so much but I guess I have been.  I haven’t been over-stuffing… Continue reading Burnin the Calories

“onstuvwx. K, I writed.  and I think that’s it”. That’s what Isabelle my neice wanted to say to everyone.  I was hoping she’d elaborate a bit more but that’s all she had to say. Silas is getting sick so I wanted to give him some tylenol because he just didn’t want to do anything but… Continue reading onstuvwx
