I have a confession to make … I haven’t been doing all of those things that I wrote about in my last post (“Even Though”) back on April 12th … I haven’t been creating, I haven’t been reading, I haven’t been spending a whole lot of time with my kids (even though they’re in my… Continue reading Enough

Even Though
At the beginning of all “this” (i.e. a worldwide pandemic), I took a moment to start writing down what I would want for my family during this time … as I started drafting my list (28 days ago), I realized that I had already written this list … years ago, actually. Here’s what I wrote… Continue reading Even Though
My Girlies
Last weekend, I took some time to write about each of my daughters ... things I might want to remember about each of them ... things to savour ... things to celebrate ... I feel nudged to do this every once in awhile ❤️ I’m sharing them here for family and friends afar who might like… Continue reading My Girlies
Embrace, Embrace, Embrace
I am sending this note out to my Sun West DLC Families this morning … Just taking a moment this morning to send out a little “good-bye for now” note, as we move into a period of school closure for the next 10 days or so. These are interesting times, and the life we’ve known… Continue reading Embrace, Embrace, Embrace

487 Days
487 days ago, I was “called out” on a post I had written and published about my oldest daughter a few months before … She asked me to consider my daughter and how she might feel about the words I had written and published online … my daughter was only seven at the time, so… Continue reading 487 Days
The Myth
I woke up this morning to this question on FB Messenger … Hey, I really don’t know who else to ask. How do you balance kids, work, life, etc.? I’ve been struggling lately with balancing everything, and I think I’m failing at it all. Lol. First, I am confronted with feelings of gratitude that she… Continue reading The Myth
Cambri
On this weekend, one year ago, we had been in our new home for about two weeks, harvest was complete, and our final baby was ready to come home from the NICU. I’m sure it is unnecessary for me to marvel quite so much at the absolute wonder of a child’s development in his or… Continue reading Cambri
Intentional Living
With a new month upon us, I can't help but reflect on some important changes that have been made in my life and in our home in this last month. While I've been working hard on adopting some better habits (see my recent post), I've also been investing some significant effort into being a better… Continue reading Intentional Living
I Mourned
Last night, I mourned. I stepped away from my children for a few minutes and just cried. The apparent breaking point for me was the struggle I was having getting my one-year-old’s Minion pajamas on following her bath. She was having none of it, writhing in my arms as I wrestled first one leg, then… Continue reading I Mourned
