The time has come, and I must say I’ve been looking forward to this stage in Silas life. He’s starting to say more and more things and now he has his own words that aren’t so much…English. So, it’s time to decipher the code! (I feel like I need theme music in this part) I… Continue reading Deciphering The Code

A Case of the Mondays
I’m so stinking tired. So tired, in fact, that I might actually take a nap today. I’m not a big “napper” the last one I took was weeks ago in MB and it actually really made me feel better. It was the perfect length. I’ve been feeling rather nauseated lately as well. Are there weird… Continue reading A Case of the Mondays
Dealing With A Toddler’s Tantrums
I’m a tough love kind of person. I’m very tender and very loving towards people but I’m also a bit tough about certain things, I get it from my mom. When it comes to Silas’ tantrums, my first instinct is to say “too bad” and walk away. My mother-in-law pointed out to me that my… Continue reading Dealing With A Toddler’s Tantrums
Taking Matters Into my Own Hands
Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. My husband has this problem, his fingers cannot feel a hard mass in muscle tissue therefore he can’t really help me work out my knots in my back. I’m sure there’s a name for this condition of his. Anyway, my back REALLY hurts from… Continue reading Taking Matters Into my Own Hands
WD40 Rocks My World
I’m not in a big computer mood today, even though I still find myself sitting here. I don’t think I’ll write much. Silas is down for his nappy-poo. He just spent a good 5 minutes rolling around on the floor kicking and screaming for reasons only he and God knows. He’s been really happy otherwise. … Continue reading WD40 Rocks My World
How To Discipline a 15 Month Old
When you discipline a 15 month old you must ______________. Please fill in the blank. Sometimes I really feel like I have no idea what I am doing. How do you ignore tantrums yet still be tender to a child who doesn’t know how to express his feeling? How do you not go crazy saying… Continue reading How To Discipline a 15 Month Old
Hug a Chiropractor
I love my chiropractor! Not in a romantical way of course, just in a “you fixed my body and I love you” way. It’s taken two visits and I’m almost completely fixed of my sciatic and back problems. I still have some hip pain but that’s just my arthritis dealing with my joints being loose… Continue reading Hug a Chiropractor
General Unwellness
Ugh, whatever my husband had last week has now graced my presence. I woke up this morning with a lovely sore throat and just an overall sense of unwellness. I hadn’t been feeling normal all weekend and now I guess I know why. GRRRR. For someone who never gets out in public often I do… Continue reading General Unwellness
The Conclusion of the Odor
After finishing yesterday’s post I bravely ventured to my closet, opened the door and looked in. The stench really hit me and I was frightened. I thought I would just do a quick surface scan of the closet to see if I could spot what the horrible odor was coming from. I saw shoes and… Continue reading The Conclusion of the Odor
A Good Mood Day
Silas has been in SUCH a good mood so far today. I don’t know what to do with it. I keep thinking I’m going to jinx it somehow! There wasn’t any fussing or hanging or whining or smashing of faces on the floor. It’s been a lovely morning, perhaps it’s because the sun is actually… Continue reading A Good Mood Day
Bye Bye Boobies
This morning Silas slept through his usual nursing time, I usually will nurse him whenever he wakes up but today I didn’t. I just brought him some toys, put on Black Eyed Peas for him and went back to bed (I love that about my son). He was fine and hasn’t seemed to miss it… Continue reading Bye Bye Boobies
Goodbye Pretty Shoes
It’s time to retire the nice shoes until after baby is born. Instead I need to wear ugly runners or crocs or else my hips will come loose and I’ll topple to the floor in a big heap of pitiful jointpain-ness…hmmm. I got to sing in-front of my entire church today in my nice sweater… Continue reading Goodbye Pretty Shoes
My Name is Silas
*I thought a little ‘get to know Silas’ would be a fun addition to my blog* Hi my name is Silas. I’m almost 15 months old. I weigh a whopping 30(some) pounds and I have blond hair and Hazel eyes. Momma gets mad when people call them brown, hers are brown and they look nothing… Continue reading My Name is Silas
Back From Vacation
Man it feels good to have someone to cook for me. I loved being at my in-laws house in Manitoba. It was much too short. I’m always surprised at how comfortable I am around Brent’s family. We had a lovely time and I hope I didn’t stick my foot in my mouth too many times.… Continue reading Back From Vacation
Pregnancy #2
I was a cleaning machine yesterday. I even cleaned the storage room which was piled high with recycling that we’ve been too lazy to take out. I even um, what’s the word? Swept? And um, mopped? the storage room. Now my husband just needs to take out all of the bags and bags of recycling.… Continue reading Pregnancy #2
