Eff the Mom Guilt

I'm trying to write as much as I can, but I can't write everyday this month. I don't want to stress myself out, I just want to write. I'm feeling a lot of anxiety lately, and writing helps with that, but it doesn't have to be my blog. I'll my focusing on some journal writing …

Being Better

Today's post has changed a number of times throughout the day. I didn't have a lot of time to do anything other than be a momma today. I was planning to do a decluttering post, but didn't have time for any of it. I've chosen a prompt that suits the day. Write about an area …

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, …

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, …
