** Note: Below you will find honesty. The kind of honesty that comes to a Mama when she’s had a rough week and has thought about “just quitting” countless times in that week. Let me start this by saying that this post most certainly does not represent ALL breastfeeding experiences. Not necessarily even most. […]
On Saturday Ariadne and I met some friends for some public diaper changing. I wanted to attend The Great Cloth Diaper Change last year, but obviously it didn’t really fit since I still had a baby in ute. I’m so glad we went this year! We got some great swag and hopefully helped to break the Guinness […]
A few things: While in Vancouver, we gave Ariadne poutine (that’s French Canadian for “zomg get in mybelleh”) and since she’s totally my kid…she obviously loved it. One of the first things The Hubs said to me after we landed back in Phoenix on Friday was “It’s such a relief to not be going anywhere […]
I’m usually one tightly wrapped frugal mama. But there is one thing that puts a kink in my love for budgets. Ariadne’s wardrobe. This little girl…let me rephrase…this little BABY…has a wardrobe unlike any I’ve ever seen. It started innocently enough. In fact, in the beginning, I bought ONE outfit for Aria. The day […]
Vancouver rocks. For the obvious reasons: – It’s Canada – duh. – It has the wonder Tim Horton’s on every street – The people are Canadian style friendly, and I love that – It’s super walkable and eco friendly – Food. Holy best shawarma. and for the not so obvious reasons: – It’s like the […]
Last week Aria did something that blew us away. She climbed the stairs. Unprompted and unassisted. The Hubs says that she just crawled directly over to them and started going up. No pausing to think “Hmm, how do I manage these things…” or checking to make sure she was supposed to be doing that. […]
It’s been another month of major changes in our little girl. Just the last week has practically transformed out baby into an almost toddler. Craziness! Just like everyone told me, each stage, each month is better than the last. I start thinking “Oh I love this phase, it’s my favourite!” and the next week […]
My Aunt Cara’s house backs right up to the woods. So we took advantage of it and had a photo shoot!
A few months ago I wrote a post about travelling with an infant. What a difference a few months makes! Travelling with a toddler (or almost toddler in our case) is a totally different story. When you fly with a 6 month old, you think “Ahhh my baby doesn’t want to be held…” when […]
Until this week I’d never been to a real farm. Funny, but I don’t think I have. So while visiting family in Maryland, we visited a local creamery where most of my cousins have worked at some point or other (so I figure they like it there, eh?) I felt right at home with all […]
