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...

Back to School

As all parents know your life does not go on hold, slow down or accommodate a new timetable when your human joins the team, instead you find a way to incorporate them into the everyday and keep on moving. This is also the case when your partner is working towards getting his journeyman ticket and...

182.5 Days

While I was pregnant I would often get comments from people letting me know that I will morph into a sleep zombie, my hygiene will resemble one of a teenage boy, my relationship with my partner will be flipped upside down and I can wave social activities bye-bye. So I mentally prepared myself for this...

The Spirit of the Holidays

I don't know about you but I was a very lucky kid growing up, for multiple reasons but one being that my dad is Santa. My dad loves all holidays and to see the joy it brings on kids faces, especially his own kid - me. I grew up in the house that turned into...

A Mom in a Sea of Moms

As you can gather from my previous posts, I am not a mummy mommy; the type of cookies that you will find in my house come in a box and that box is most likely empty because I ate them. While I love the idea of the hippy mom with her back to nature approach,...

So it Begins…

I was never one those females that yearned to be a mother nor am I very motherly woman by nature, but I did picture myself raising a wee human at some point. When I told people I was pregnant and that yes it was planned, my inner circle was curious about the experience from my...
