Dynamic Duo

To say that I took a hiatus from writing is an understatement, I have no real excuse except life. In the modern day juggling act of family, home, career, adulting, Netflix, maybe the gym and sleep, keeping up with my blog didn't make the list - in reality neither did the gym. I wasn't quite...

New Found Land

Sorry it's been a while since I wrote a blog post, I have a few started and not completed and then you know life happens... We also have had an amazing Fall which means we are never home when we aren't obligated to be. I have just come back from another work trip, and while...

21:19

You are currently asleep in our bed because it is rainy outside and I wanted snuggles - the only time you stay still long enough to get snuggles is right before you fall asleep - I know this probably is looked down upon in most parenting books. It's absolutely mind boggling to me that you...

Milestones

Our whole life is about milestones, even death is a milestone - not usually celebrated the same way, as say your first kiss or bow chicka wow wow, but still a milestone. Milestones are literal markers on a road to tell you how far you have come, and the dictionary describes milestones as a significant...

Will You Be My Friend?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I wasn't exactly Casanova when it came to dating, well apparently that awkward, not picking up on cues and overall ignorance to the process, is also my style when it comes to making friends - something I didn't realize I was in want of. In my Calgary life...

Home Sweet Rental…

You know when you plan out your life perfectly, or at least the next steps you are going to take, and because you are a bit of a control freak who doesn't trust people 100%, you also go a bit above and beyond on the due diligence that everything is ready to go. Then the...

Oregon Trail

Sorry I haven't written in a while, the last few weeks I have been on my own personal version of Oregon Trail - you know the computer game where nine of your 10 children die of dysentery and the last few of you remaining drown after you finally reach the damn river you have to...

4770.1 KMs

You know when you break up with someone for the first little while all you think about is how amazing they were, all these wonderful qualities pop into your head - half of them I am sure are something you made up to romanticize the relationship and other half while accurate, when you were in...

Framily

Family, people related to each other usually by blood but not necessary. They are people that have helped shape you into the awkward, opinionated, light hearted (a paradox) "adult". They love you no matter how often you bicker over directions, attitude, or ocean vs. mountains. For the majority of your life they have been the...

Mo Ghrá

In the honour of the month of love I thought it would be a fitting time to talk about my relationship. Like love stories from years gone by, ours started out at a hipster bar. Two awkward humans - one with adult braces (me), who had experienced enough tragic love in the form of online...
