With only 9 weeks left before baby #4, I am becoming increasingly unwieldy and unfun, but on Saturday we were able to enjoy Vancouver’s gorgeous Stanley Park with Carl’s sister and her family, and the weather couldn’t have been better. I know it can’t last, but these breezy, cooler days are making summer so far riiiiight up […]
Monday Moments: Daddy’s Boy
We recently switched Carl’s office and our playroom around, and Theo seems to think the swap was designed solely for his joy. Not only does he love puttering around the new, bigger playroom where he’s free to throw balls with abandon, he also has his daddy only a few steps away from the living room. […]
May Madness
Forget March, May is where the madness happens. We’ve been busy, but in a fantastic way, between celebrating a brand new 6-year-old, enjoying Mother’s Day, and taking a couple nights away to celebrate our anniversary. Somewhere in there I started a new semester of school, so this week will be spent wrapping my head around […]
Monday Moments
Did I tell you I’m moving back in with my parents? I feel like I may have neglected to mention this impending fact: I’m almost 30 and moving back in with my parents. Not just me, either. Me AND my three kiddos. Fun, right? For me at least, not necessarily for my parents, or their […]
Monday Moments
Yes, Theo, you are soooo big! But there is still a lot for you to learn. Here are some of the important revelations that have come lately… Yes, that is for you. It’s your birthday! This is how we do. Yes, that is also for you, despite being less awesome than tissue paper. Happy birthday! […]

The fall weather has been amaaazing here, with day after day of the bluest sky as the backdrop for all the colours of changing leaves and the crispness of perfect fall temperatures that make me (yes,intensely indoorsy me) want to be outside all day long. We took advantage of the weather last week for a […]
Monday Moments
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada! I have so much to be thankful for … so much I am thankful for. Here are just a handful of those things. 1) This happy little face, every day. If I could’ve taken a picture that captured him sleeping through the night last night, I would have. It made me love […]
We need to talk to girls about their bodies
I recently saw an article with the advice that a good approach to dealing with the issue of body image and girls is to just not talk about it with your girls. People seemed to love this idea, based on how many “shares” I saw of it. But…really? I certainly get not criticizing your own […]
Monday Moments
My youngest sister is getting married next week and I can’t wait to see her walk down the aisle. In the meantime, we are having all sorts of fun with the family we rarely get to see. We aren’t very good at capturing everything, like the kids sitting beside Babu singing all the songs […]
Monday Moments
I am going to miss this little face when it heads to school in September. People think I’m joking when I say her going to school means I’ll have to be the parent again, but really, pretty much the only thing she doesn’t do is change diapers. It is no joke, my friends. Please send […]
