Another Year Comes to a Close

TBDHNY

I have to admit, this year has been a little bit of a blur. Being pregnant and caring for a newborn will do that to you. That being said, this has been an amazing year filled with growth, milestones, laughter and of course, new beginnings. Our family grew by one little girl with a big Continue reading →

Thank You, Lady Gaga

I feel the need to clear something up so everyone here doesn’t think I am a crazy stalker. You may notice the list of music I am listening to on the right side of this page. It feeds from my account at last.fm and is basically hooked up to my iTunes account. Quite often, you Continue reading →

Today will be filled with a lot of activities around our house. So I wanted to post early to say Happy Halloween to everyone. I hope your day and your night is filled with a lot of spooky fun. This is also just a heads up that on November 1, This Bird’s Day will be Continue reading →

Introducing Kids to ABCs

Our oldest is three years (and three months) old and she told me a couple of weeks ago that she didn’t like to look at books by herself because she couldn’t read them. I’m guessing it frustrates her and she focuses on the words. We have been working on looking at the pictures and letting Continue reading →

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Have you picked up your pumpkin to carve yet? This year make sure to hold on to your seeds so you can make Roasted Pumpkin Seeds. Pumpkin seeds make great snacks that are rich in fiber as well as vitamins B and E. There are about 80 calories in a quarter cup once cooked. We Continue reading →

I can’t believe Halloween is almost upon us. It seems like it was just last month that we dressed Little Bird up as a monkey and took her around to the neighbours in search of candy. We have the same tradition each year when it comes to the scariest night of the year. First is Continue reading →

I Wish for You

Tonight, I stood over my three year old daughter, then my five month old daughter and watched them sleep and I found myself listing things that I wished for them in my head. I just wanted to share. I wish that you find friends as loving as you are. I wish that you have many Continue reading →

Thanksgiving and the Giving of Thanks

The weekend here has been beautiful. I think our autumn is trying desperately to make up for the bad hand we got in Edmonton during the summer months. We spent a lot of today outside, playing with our daughters and I worked a little in the garden. Its time to pull out the garden to Continue reading →

If you came here because you did a search on the words in my title and you are looking for answers, or for a post that is going to make you feel better, this is not it. I’m where you are right now. How do you make the decision to put a pet down? We Continue reading →

The First Time and the Last Time

IMG_3856_thumb

I spent some time this weekend going through our daughter’s clothes. Both girls have outgrown most of the clothes that hung in their closets and I was growing tired of playing “Let’s See If This Fits.” I can’t believe that at four months old, our youngest daughter has already outgrown two boxes of clothes. I Continue reading →

Third Birthday Party Success

IMG_3825

Our daughter’s third birthday party has come and gone and I have to say, it went really well. First up were the birthday invites. I ended up making our own invites using photoshop, then saving the image and sending it to Shoppers to be printed at 10¢ each. So for 20 invites, it only cost Continue reading →
