Baby Update – Lil’ Ziggy is 9 Months Old!

12/08/15 | baby updates

Baby's First Christmas

Geez, I was hoping to have posted a little more this past month, but every time I started to write, I either encountered writers block, or I got distracted with something else. I didn't really even think there was much to update on this month anyway, at first. Lil' Ziggy grew and changed in so many big ways in the first several months of his life, and while he's definitely still growing, he seems ...

Baby Update – Lil’ Ziggy is Eight Months Old!

11/11/15 | baby updates, breastfeeding

8 month old baby

This is just a quick little update, as Lil' Ziggy has slowed down on the major milestones this month, it would appear. Don't get me wrong, we had a great month. We went to the zoo a bunch of times, explored Calgary's many malls and parks, and celebrated our little boy's first Halloween. But in terms of Ziggy's growth or change, here are the biggest ones... Lil' Ziggy finally popped his first ...

October Wrap Up and November Goals

11/02/15 | baby updates, blogging, Home, planning

October has been a busy month. I'm really getting used to living in Calgary, and I enjoy getting out with Lil' Ziggy and exploring our neighbourhood and beyond. I've discovered some great places to take him once the weather gets cold. There certainly are things I miss about Fort McMurray, namely our church and the people in it, and the friends we left behind. It would have been a good place to ...

How to make a mom feel like crap, or, what’s wrong with society today

10/16/15 | parenting

A good friend of mine posted this chart on her Facebook page today, and it really got me thinking (and angry). I've seen things like this elsewhere on the Internet, on mom blogs, Huffington Post, etc, and I fully believe it to be true. It's not even about being "politically correct", or the recipient of the question being "oversensitive" (hands up if you've been called that when someone hurt your ...

Baby Update: Lil’ Ziggy is Seven Months Old!

10/09/15 | baby updates

7 month old baby

My goodness, Lil' Ziggy is getting big! So much has changed in the past month, including a couple of big milestones. We've finally settled into our rental house here in Calgary, and I love our neighbourhood. It's centrally located, close to friends, and it's just one of those adorable neighbourhoods with tree-lined streets that look so cozy during the fall. There's something to be said about older ...

Baby Update: Lil’ Ziggy is 6 months old!

09/08/15 | baby updates

six month old baby

Holy crap. It has been half a year since Lil' Ziggy came into our lives! Six whole months ago, I gave birth to a squealing, flailing, teeny tiny baby, and I had no idea then just how much life would change. Six months ago, I laid in my hospital bed and stared at a sweet, swaddled, sleeping burrito baby in a plastic bassinet. I just watched him breathe, in and out. He was so quiet as he ...
