My heart is broken

09/04/15 | Children, parenting

I've been out of touch. Between having Lil' Ziggy, moving to Calgary and countless other "me" happenings, I have not paid enough attention to what is happening in the Middle East and Europe right now. I hear bits and pieces here and there, and my heart sinks. But I saw a photo yesterday, and my heart broke. He laid as Lil' Ziggy does when he sleeps. I'm haunted now. When I saw the photo ...

Baby Update: Ziggy is 5 months old!

5 month baby update

I'm a little late on Lil' Ziggy's 5 month baby update, but we're still in the midst of transitioning from Fort McMurray to Calgary. Our good friends have taken us in for a few weeks until we get set up in a rental, and we are so grateful for their hospitality. They have a little boy as well, and he and Ziggy have been so much fun to watch together. As the weeks went on since my last baby ...

Hitting The Wall

07/27/15 | blogging, Home

I hit the wall a couple of weeks ago. That wall where you WANT to write, you want to get your thoughts out, but you just... can't. There are a few reasons for this, but here are the biggest roadblocks I'm dealing with right now: Lil' Ziggy stopped sleeping well at night, which is a major bummer after having about six weeks of lovely solid 8-hour slumbers. Over the last few weeks, I spent way ...

Baby Update: Ziggy is 4 months old!

Ziggy is four months old!

Every time I sit down to write a monthly baby update for Lil' Ziggy, I'm not sure if I should say that the previous month flew by like nothing, or it dragged like it would never end. Because the truth is, my days are LONG. Moms of very young babies, I think you may be able to relate! Depending on what new thing Ziggy is doing, I'm sometimes just trying to get from one nap to the next. And it looks ...

Monday Update and Weekly Goals

07/06/15 | Goalsetting, Holidays, Home

Lately in Boothopia... Last Wednesday was Canada Day, and we were worried we'd have to stay inside all day due to smoke from forest fires to the north of us. So I decided that if we couldn't get outside to enjoy the beauty of our country, we could at least eat Canadian! First on the menu was pancakes with real maple syrup for breakfast! And I don't mean Aunt Jemima or even store-brand "100% maple ...

July Goals

07/01/15 | Uncategorized

What a month! As hard as I tried to post regularly in June, I just found that I was unable to. I spent pretty much the entire month in Ontario with Lil' Ziggy, spending time with grandparents, great grandparents, uncles, family and friends who hadn't seen him yet. It was a wonderful trip that I'll cherish forever, but I'm glad to be back in Alberta with my husband, who was only able to spend the ...
