Breastfeeding

I had a momma friend suggest I write this post. It was a great suggestion, and she pointed a few things out that I didn't think about. I knew breastfeeding in public was hard, but I always put the issues on myself. I need to be clear that this post isn't about choosing breastfeeding over …

Parenting gratitude

I'm having a good time with my son lately. I still get frustrated. I'm still exhausted a lot. I'm working on that, but he's been so fun lately. I really like this age. I love listening to his sentences, and the new words he's trying. I love watching him try new things. I loves seeing …

Love for Love Day

Happy Valentine's Day all. I've never thought this was the most important day ever, but I do love doing crafts and Valentine's photo shoots with my son. I have been with my partner for about 7 or 8 years. (How terrible is it that I have no idea how long we've been together?) Before him, …

In School Mentoring

I have been mentoring at a school in Saskatoon for a few years now. It's called In-School Mentoring. Big Brothers Big Sisters runs it with various schools in Saskatoon. The mentors go once a week for an hour during school hours to hang out with their assigned mentee. This program needs cooperation from both the …

Throwing Fruit

Travelling with a tot is always going to be an adventure. I've already spoken about our trip to Ontario with my son. However, while discussing blog post ideas with my mom she said I should talk about the best kind of fruit to throw at your son while driving. This is now a running joke. …

This Week’s Fun

We are a bit exhausted this week, and haven't done as much as we would like. The cold is slowing us down. We really didn't do a lot this week. To be perfectly honest, it's kind of been a shit week. This is combination of the deep freeze we live in, a sprained ankle, and …

Self Care part two

Day Six I decided to split self care into two posts. I wanted to make a self care post dedicated to exercise. First, a little information about my exercise life. I don't love it. When I was in high school, I hated every second of gym classes. I wasn't good at sports. I was clutzy, …

Self Care

Day Five Self Care is a big and important topic. It goes well with Self Love. Some days, you have to remember you. Love you. Care for you. As a Momma, I forget about self care, but I also took almost everything I did for myself for granted before I was a mom. There are …

How To Live With A Toddler

Day Four I'd like to thank my friend for suggesting this one. She also has a toddler. Neither of us know how to live with a toddler. It's not something I can actually help anybody else with because unfortunately no toddler is the same. I'm constantly learning. I can share what I've learned and what …
