and everything in between
June The sun is rich And gladly pays In golden hours, Silver days, And long green weeks That never end. School's out. The time Is ours to spend. There's Little League, Hopscotch, the creek, And, after supper, Hide-and-seek. The live-long light Is like a dream, And freckles come Like flies to cream. - John Updike …
Three and a half. She likes dinosaurs, twirly dresses, astronauts, jumping in puddles, singing, ghosts, buses, firetrucks/ambulances/police cars, makeup, jumping on the couch and babies. She doesn't like thunder, going to bed, spiders, sitting in carts when shopping. She watches Little Princess, Ollie and Moon, Wanda and the Alien, Paw Patrol, Max and Ruby, …
Since I was tiny I've wanted babies. It was the game I played most at home. House, mom, whatever. As I got older, the NEED behind having kids wasn't as strong. I did want kids, but I could have probably went either way and been happy. Maybe. Now, I wouldn't want it any other way …
It was the middle of the afternoon and the sun was pouring into my living room. I lay on the couch with Mabyn beside me feeling the warmth. "Ahh-bwuuhh, ahh-bwuuhh" is her favourite thing to say right now, she looks at me as she says it and I'm pretty sure she means it as a …

I was in need of a new location for an engagement session I had coming up, so I grabbed my cute family and brought them along to location scout with me (of course). The sun was going down, it was classically Calgary cold and also full of magick. There's something about being in the middle …
The winter holiday season is descending upon us quickly. Red and green is popping up all over stores, the mall parking lot is even busier than normal and I'm fairly certain Crate and Barrel had a Christmas tree up back in October.

September is such a funny month in Calgary. It's the in-between. The transition between humid Summer days and brisk Autumn mornings. I am thankful for it, for its golden warmth that breaks up our cold season. For the late nights, the chaotic days and the pretty flowers. Autumn, however, is in my soul. Thank you …
I've loved names for as long as I can remember. When I was little I used to write little stories just so I could pick names for the characters and imagine their lives. I'm a bit on the alternative side some would say, and with that comes unique name ideas for my babies. My husband …
Sorry for the lack of posts! My pregnancy issues got a bit more serious last week so I've been having a harder time with keeping up. My blood pressure has gone up again (which it did last time) so I've been attempting to relax as much as possible. Mitchell also had some time off work …
