Jealousy!
In every family a little jealousy must come. Sibling jealousy to be specific.

One of the ways that we try to combat this jealousy is to have kid date night. This is a night where mom and dad take Big Brother out all by himself. (We’ll do this with Little Sister also when [...]

On November 24, 2012 By

In a rare sweet moment my little girl fell asleep while I was carrying her. This doesn’t happen often and I was a proud momma carrying her around sweetly sleeping.

How does anyone do it?

On June 13, 2012 By

I work at the office 3 days a week. And 3 days a week I am late. Every day.

How do other parents get out of the house? I just don’t understand. I get up at 7 and leave at 8. I get up at 6 and leave at 8. I have a friend at [...]

Sometimes I just get fed up with it all. No, I don’t mean my children. I mean all the awful, lazy, selfish and terrible parents you see out there. I know that I shouldn’t judge, but sometimes it’s just too much. I remember hearing a parent call her 4 month old daughter the B word. [...]

Raising hope

On May 28, 2012 By

We are parents. We are Christian parents. And with that comes responsibility.

We believe that Christ is our Saviour. Christ gave his life for our sins and God has called us to repent, accept His free gift and tell others of this good news. Seems simple. Yet it isn’t. It is a hard life [...]

(This just isn’t going to cut it!)

Compact fold large canopy recline seat grab bar or snack tray

You can find some [...]

Sibling Love

On April 23, 2012 By

Today gave me yet another precious mini milestone. After I picked up both kids at daycare I was sitting in the car calling the Dr. office to ask a question. I wasn’t particularly paying attention to the little ones in the backseat, but nothing sounded too off. After I hung up the phone I listened [...]

A Mommy Milestone

On April 10, 2012 By

I have had one of the most proud moments. I have reached a mommy milestone that I have honestly looked forward to for so long.

I knew the day would come eventually, but I didn’t expect it so soon. I thought maybe it would be when Big Brother was 3 or 4. Lots of [...]

Junk…

On March 21, 2012 By

We have found ourselves speechless at the things Big Brother says more and more lately…

Two weeks ago, we overheard Big Brother running around in his playroom with his butterfly net saying ” I cut you!” over and over. What? Turns out he “got” him.

While D was changing Big Brother he was very interested in what [...]

Mini Milestones

On February 16, 2012 By

We’re all aware of the major milestones in your newborn’s life. You’ve got a first smile, first tooth, first steps, words, etc. But what about all those little  milestons? The ones that build up and prepare them for the major milestones.

Personally, I find the mini milestones to be so much more fun. They then [...]
