To All The Moms

Motherhood is hard. Sleepless nights, countless heartbreak, being a doctor, chef, maid, therapist, encyclopedia, the list goes on.. while trying to remain a normal human and keep yourself going. It’s hard and a task mothers take on with such grace. I am so thankful to all the moms in the world for being a safe

A home of our own

We bought a house! Well actually, we bought some land, which we’re building a house on. But nonetheless it’s ours, even though at this point it’s merely soil and bricks. So we actually bought it a while ago, we had been thinking about it a lot and found a beautiful opportunity and decided to do

A Hot Minute!

Wow! It has been a hot minute! I dont even know where to begin, but I want to begin so that is what is most important. I have felt as of late that I am missing a creative outlet and I love blogging and creative social media so I thought I would get back on

NOT THE CAR!

‘Oh my baby falls asleep the second I start driving.’ ‘The humm of the car puts my newborn right to sleep.’ These are things you would never hear my husband or I say. Why you ask, because our son HATES the car. It isn’t a phase (everyone has told us this) it is sheer torture for

I’m Lost

This February marks 6 consecutive years since I’ve been living abroad.  In those 6 years I’ve managed to go ‘home’ to Vancouver once or twice each year. Usually I get the homesick itch every 9 months or so (and it’s usually because I miss my favorite food or restaurants) and a short 2 week visit

Baby on the move

This is a question I get asked a lot so I thought I’d start with it. Traveling with a baby! Living far from both my in-laws and family, as well as a passion for exploring, traveling, and in particular flying, will be the norm for our children. Our first big flight with little O was

Where to sleep?

Okay, full disclosure, we co-sleep and I love it! I know, I know, it’s horrible, the worst thing I could do for my child. He’ll get dependent on it. I’ll have to have him in our bed forever. -I’ve heard it all! But in the end it works for us, so I don’t need to

Bathe everyday

I have found in the short 6 months I have been a mom (crazy how fast it goes by) that this is a very controversial topic. Whether or not to bathe your child every day. Lets get down to it. A lot of mothers have heard that you should not bathe babies every day because

The smartest person in the room

A month ago I was inspired by a holiday themed post about how to deal with family over the holidays. It noted that the quietest person is often the smartest, which really got my wheels turning. I sat back, thought about it, and had to dive in a little deeper. I thought about the people I know from

Pregnancy Diet

As I have mentioned in this post, I was on a strict diet (calorie counting and no alcohol or carbs) nearly right up until I got pregnant. Therefore, I knew that if I started eating everything in sight I would gain a significant amount of weight during my pregnancy. During the first 2 months I
