My little sister Amanda graduated from Queen’s University last Wednesday and I couldn’t be more proud of her! She did four years of university at Trent U in Peterborough then did teachers college at Queen’s which is located in Kingston. I wasn’t able to go to her Trent University graduation last year because I was… Continue reading Amanda’s Graduation
Kurt and I are both huge baseball fans. He loves the Boston Red Sox (Boo!!) and since I’m a hometown girl, I support our Toronto Blue Jays. So for Mother’s Day, Kurt decided to me Jays tickets without realizing they’d be playing his favourite team too. Our friend’s aunt works for the Blue Jays organization… Continue reading A Weekend of Blue Jays!
As I stand in my kitchen looking at our calendar that has all of our appointments, birthdays, get togethers, baby showers, etc neatly marked in each person’s designated colour (pink for me, blue for Nate, green for Kurt, and red for anything involving all three of us) I can’t help but focus solely on the… Continue reading There’s No Way!…
What a beautiful day to take the babe to the zoo! 15 degrees Celsius with bright, glorious sunshine all day long! My friends and I had decided we would take our ‘littles’ to the zoo today for the first time and we had an absolute blast! My dad and step mom got Kurt and I… Continue reading Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My!
I’m not sure what it is about nurseries but I just love them! Whether it’s Nate’s nursery or any of my friend’s children’s nurseries, I can’t help but fall in love with each and every one of them! There’s something about knowing a sweet, innocent baby will be sleeping in there that soothes my soul.… Continue reading Nate’s Nursery!
I remember when I first started telling my friends I was pregnant; the ones who already had babies started warning me about the strange occurrences that were going to take place within my body. Most of them I already knew about (some from nursing school and others just from life I suppose) but holy cow… Continue reading Wait, Wait, Wait… What Happens!?
I don’t think there’s a whole lot more kids like than getting to go to the park. I know as a kid sure I loved going. Especially to Copperfield Park and Easton Park (or as most kids know it by Rainbow Park due to the massive rainbow sprinkler). It was always a blast playing tag… Continue reading First Trip to the Park!
Expecting your first baby is an extremely thrilling and joyous time, however; for me personally, I was so stressed over all the baby products out there and trying to choose the “perfect” ones. I would go to ‘Babies R Us’ at least once a week looking at what they had on the shelves, trying to… Continue reading Nate’s Essentials!
Trying to keep track of a baby’s milestones is always a hard task. They learn and accomplish so much in such a short time it can often feel like you can’t keep up! I remember in the beginning feeling as though I couldn’t wait to see how much Nate was going to grow and how… Continue reading So Many Milestones, So Little Time!
My idea of a marathon involves my couch, a large cup of coffee, and binge watching Supernatural or The 100. It definitely does not involve spending countless hours, days, weeks, months, and even years outside rain or shine, hot or cold, ice storm or no ice storm, pushing myself to my limits running. But that… Continue reading Around the Bay
