Stinky Freaking Paint

I taste oil primer in my mouth. Apparently that stuff is lethal and should only ever be used outside and then left outside for all of eternity. I had to use it on the mdf we used to build the shelves. I think it haunted me all night long. I can’t get it out of… Continue reading Stinky Freaking Paint

Workin Away

Kids are sleeping, husband is building, I’m pondering which sort of fabric I want to use to upholster my bench seat in front of our shelving unit.  I’m feeling something more traditional tapestry looking.  I’m a clean line kinda girl but I think I beautiful pattern on the bench would kinda warm up my place…plus… Continue reading Workin Away

Thursday Thirteen #13

Thirteen baby products and whatnot that I love and hate. I didn’t want to get off the couch today to blog. Ikey had fallen asleep nursing and it was so nice to just hold him and smooch his mushy sleeping lips. But despite the surging endorphins and salivating mouth, I stuck him in his bed… Continue reading Thursday Thirteen #13

I Don’t Like Prunes Mommy!

Yesterday we tried prunes for the first time. It was the first taste of anything other than rice cereal and the outcome was hilarious! As you can see, Isaac hated it!! So funny. I was so excited to give them to him too, partially because he was having troubles pooping even though his poops really… Continue reading I Don’t Like Prunes Mommy!

I’m Finally Crying

About a year ago someone I dearly loved died. Actually, two someones. Both of my dogs I had growing up were ready to go at the same time. Baloo and Jenny (not my sister..ha ha) got to go to Heaven together. I’ve had Baloo since I was in grade 4 so I really felt like… Continue reading I’m Finally Crying

Plucky Christian

Since I don’t write much about my faith in this blog and I don’t want to start, I’ve started a new blog where I can talk, rant, vent…whatever about my faith.  This blog is pluckymama.wordpress.com so I thought I’d call the other one pluckychristian.wordpress.com.  Plucky means ‘brave’….yes I used a thesaurus. Anyway, I’m not writing… Continue reading Plucky Christian

Hanky Panky

We’ve had a new neighbour on one side of our townhouse for a few months now.  I’ve never even seen this man, he and I both keep to ourselves most of the time. When we moved in, Brent just leaned our headboard against the wall and slid our bed up to it.  It’s very loose… Continue reading Hanky Panky

A Late Night Reno

Brent and I had quite the fun last night, at a strange hour we began a strange task. I was sitting in our chair thinking it was time for a shower and bed.  I was fully frustrated about money and dealing with a VERY angry toddler all day long.  I was thinking of going for… Continue reading A Late Night Reno

A Lesson In Perspective

I was watching a bit of Tyra today while I was nursing Isaac and this woman was bawling about how since she had her kid she’s 20 pounds heavier and has stretch marks. She wasn’t into having sex or anything. That makes me so sad. I’ve ranted about this before but this pressure put on… Continue reading A Lesson In Perspective

A Visit From Lucas

My Sis in law Leanne came over this morning with Lucas.  She brought us some Krispy Creams which are OK for Silas to eat…nice.  I was feeling all warm and welcoming and I made Lucas some lunch to have with Silas.  I was giving Silas his usual probiotic chewable and asked if Lucas wanted one. … Continue reading A Visit From Lucas

Yucky, Blucky and Snotty

Silas is being naughty today.  I think we have another ear infection on our hands.  Boooooo.  I think he’s finally asleep.  Or Finally falling asleep.  He’s had about 500 time outs today.  He’s doing alright with those.  I’ve stopped putting him in his crib and have him sit on the bottom step down here. I’m… Continue reading Yucky, Blucky and Snotty
