Why my blog has gone silent (truth bomb)

05/18/16 | Family, Home

Fort McMurray fire 2016

*NOTICE* strong language at the end of this post where I lose my darn mind. I haven't posted on my blog since Valentine's Day. I miss blogging, and I think about it all day, every day. But with everything that has gone on, I haven't gotten farther than creating a few drafts. I have my son's one-year update almost finished, even though he turned one a couple of months ago. With every passing ...

A letter to my spouse on Valentine’s Day

02/14/16 | Family, Holidays, Home

My love, Valentine's is only one day a year. One day. And yet, it's one of the most talked-about and anticipated days on the calendar. In the world of holidays, Valentine's is one of the top. And why wouldn't it be? I mean chocolate! Flowers! Steak! A million ways to say "I love you" on one day. One day. *** One day in 2009, I put on my makeup frantically in my room, in my student ...

Ack! Can it be? Are we almost at a whole year of Lil' Ziggy on the outside? Hard to believe, I know. But here we are, at 11 months, and so much has happened since my last baby update. So I'll just get right to it! The above picture was taking at a local park yesterday, where Lil' Ziggy sat in the baby swing for the first time! He wasn't super impressed until I started pushing him a little ...

January Recap and February Goal Setting

02/02/16 | Goalsetting, Home, planning

goalsetting

January was... kind of a weird month in terms of goal setting and staying on track. I actually spent much of it in Ontario with Lil' Ziggy, visiting friends and family. The last time I was there was also for about three weeks, and I couldn't wait to get back to Alberta by the end of it. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with friends and family, and they loved seeing Lil' Ziggy both ...

Baby Update – Lil’ Ziggy is 10 Months Old!

01/10/16 | baby updates, Children

10 month old baby

Lil' Ziggy and I are in Ontario visiting family and friends this month, but I thought I'd get an update out as my little man turns 10 months old today! He is growing into such a sweet, good-natured and funny baby who makes me laugh all day long. You know, I always thought I'd be better with really young babies as opposed to toddlers, but I am finding myself enjoying him more and more as he grows ...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year 2016

Can you believe how quickly this past year has gone by? I certainly can't. When you're a new parent, and I think many new parents would agree with me, the days can seem SO long, but then all of a sudden, weeks have passed, turning into months. Of course, the biggest thing that's happened this year is that Boothopia gained a new resident - my sweet son, Lil' Ziggy. He is such a beautiful ...
