The Musings of my Life

I often feel like I’ve lost myself…

March 22, 2017 - admin 8 Comments

I used to be fun.  I used to be spontaneous and I used to laugh.  A lot.  I don’t know what it is but I often feel like I’ve lost the essence of who I am.  I was pretty popular in school despite being the president of the “nerd herd” and I was always confidentRead more

Saying yes in a world full of No’s

February 23, 2017 - admin 7 Comments

I think I have said no more in the last five and a half years than I ever have in my life.  Why in the last five and a half years?  Because that is when I became a mom.  As a mother, I have become so good at saying no… pretty much ALL.THE.TIME. Mom canRead more

Sing us a song…You’re the tone deaf mom…

December 9, 2016 - admin 7 Comments

I am NO singer. I mean I love to sing in my car and can bust a move while singing along to my favourite tune but Idols will never be on my bucket list of life.  If it were I would probably be a shoe in for the wooden mike. That being said, I haveRead more

Lets talk about Mommy Judgement…

November 17, 2016 - admin 8 Comments

Today was one of THOSE morning’s. You know the one… the one where you are tired and can’t drag yourself out of bed but know you need to get cracking otherwise you’re going to be later than you normally are.  The one where all you want to do is drink your coffee to wake upRead more

Is she just being naughty?

October 18, 2016 - admin 7 Comments

Let’s talk a bit about my second born shall we? There is no doubt she is cute as a button.  It’s probably just as well she is as cute as she is because there is also no doubt that she is a firecracker who pushes us as her parents to the absolute limit.  She isRead more

BK (Before Kids) vs AK (After Kids)

September 27, 2016 - admin 8 Comments

It took me seven years of intense fertility treatment to finally become a mom.  If you had told me six years ago that in six years time I would be a mom to not one but TWO kids, I think I might have either laughed in your face or slapped you in it depending onRead more

Stuck in a sickness cycle…

August 17, 2016 - admin 8 Comments

We are generally a healthy bunch, we get the sniffles here and there but overall we can’t complain about lack of health in our home… Until the last three weeks that is… It all started at the end of July.  The 27th to be exact.  Kade came home from school and coughed once or twiceRead more

Happiness is… a Bunk Bed

April 15, 2016 - admin 9 Comments

Kade has been bugging us for a bunk bed FOREVER! One of his friends got one about a year and a half a go and every time we would go over for a playdate ALL I would hear about was how cool Morgie’s bed is and “Morgie has a bunk bed”, “I had so muchRead more

Shouty Mom

April 5, 2016 - admin 9 Comments

You would never guess it, but sometimes my kids can be REAL little assholes! I love the way that they interact with each other (most of the time) but more often than not I feel like I am a referee in a wrestling match and lately all I feel like I am doing is SHOUTING,Read more

Shifts…

March 13, 2015 - admin 15 Comments

This is something that I have been pondering for AGES as a parent. In many of the households I know, both parents work and there is a schedule that gets divvied up between the two as to who does what for the kids daily in order for the household to function relatively smoothly.  Everything fromRead more
