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 …
I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow I now have a one year old. Each year on their birthdays, I write to my beautiful babies. This is Mabyn's first write up, I hope one day she reads it and knows how much she means to me. Mabyn, I’ve spent the last 365 days loving …
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 …
This crazy little kid is almost 1 year old and I am baffled by that, honestly. I've never experienced a faster year in my entire life. She thinks shes SO freaking funny, wants to eat everything in sight (but then gags on it all), is JUST starting to sit up (don't come at me, her …
My sweet baby girl was having trouble falling asleep for her nap this morning. She's been a near perfect baby, and when things don't go effortlessly it's easy for me to get impatient. To loose sight of the fact that she's only 10 months old. 10 months old. I'm 26 years old and no where …
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 …
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 …
I gave birth to our second baby girl May 10th! Since she's our second we have most of what we need for her already, clothes, crib, stroller etc and that is so helpful budget wise. However there were a few things we needed to pick up for her as well as a couple we wanted …
