"Mommy?, Will you sleep with me?" my youngest asks as he toddles into the room Often this is just a good stall tactic at bedtime, but tonight I could see he was in need of some extra cuddles. So I tucked him back under his covers and crawled in behind him. "Mommy, I'm so in love with you", whispers a little voice in the dark. I can't help but laugh at his choice of words, 'in love' "I love you too buddy" I answer "Cause you'll always be in my heart" He responds This is a phrase … [Read more...]

My boys started skating lessons just over a week ago. My oldest took a few lessons a couple years back, but it was my first time out on skates for the four and five year old. We walked them out onto the ice and reluctantly let go. I'm not going to lie, it was hard. We knew they were going to fall, and they did. They fell A LOT in fact. It was brutal to watch. The coaches helped a bit, though they did not hold their hands or guide them under their arms or even offer them a chair or device to … [Read more...]

It's good to have a focus though right? To make sure you are starting out the year knowing where you … [Read more...]

Last year my middle boy started kindergarten and it was a rough year for him, he just found the whole thing a little overwhelming and anxiety crept in. Most mornings he cried and screamed that he didn't want to go to school, but once he got there he seemed to do okay. It was hard on all of us. Mornings were hectic and stressful and the whole family suffered for it. My youngest was eager to start school, he would have gladly taken his older brothers place and there were days that one stood in … [Read more...]

After the Blissdom Canada conference early last month, my son was looking through some of the items that made their home in my swag bag. A little red notebook and some pencils fell out of the Timspiration package from Tim Hortons. "Can I have these?" he asked "Sure Buddy" I replied and during that very moment our entire night time routine would be changed for the better. My husband and I tucked the boys into bed that night and crawled into bed ourselves to watch some television. … [Read more...]
