There are many moments in my life that has perfectly etched themselves into memory whether I made a conscious effort to do so or not. Quite a few of them, I could do without – from the hurtful to the regrettable to the downright embarrassing. But there are also those beautiful events that have brought ...

Wow. You’re 2 years old today. I still cannot wrap my head and heart around it – it seems like it was just yesterday when your arrival made us a family of three… but here it is. I’m pretty sure you have no idea what this day means to the people around you and you undoubtedly have no clue what ...

Yes, I know I’m late for the big Father’s Day post, but that’s how I roll. Oh, and this is a rather wordy Wordless Wednesday post, but you already knew that. Before we celebrated the occasion, My Man and I brought our Little Miss to her first Sunday School class ever, where she had a smashing ...

We laugh, we cry. We make mistakes; we say “I’m sorry”. We forgive, we move on. We work hard, we have fun. We’re never boring; always spirited. We skimp, we save and then we splurge. We’re superior at silent shouting matches and brilliant at poking fun of each other. We give, we take. We’re ...

This post has been sitting in my hard drive for a week now. But I guess it’s just as well because it is Thanksgiving and that is what I’m writing about. You see, I poked fun at my turning another year older on another post but the truth is, I appreciate how blessed my life has been and is. It’s ...

2 ½ weeks have gone by since we celebrated our Little Miss’ 1st birthday and I’m only able to sit down and properly write a post about it now. About anything for that matter – but the party in this case. I have no excuse, other than real life has completely taken over my time. You understand, ...

Today you are 1 year old. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was in that hospital room holding you in my arms for the very first time. I could not tear my eyes away from you, and no matter how sore I felt all over, I did not want to let you go. All the pain and discomfort of the previous 9 months ...

The party was in full swing. The food table that stood against the wall on the right-hand side of the room was adorned with a red and white checked tablecloth and was laden with trays of spaghetti with huge meatballs, buffalo wings, soft, perfectly-fluffy mashed potatoes and bowls of vegetables and ...

Hard to believe but in just 1 month and 3 days, our darling Little Miss will be celebrating her first birthday. Already. I’ve been right here taking care of her, watching her sleep, playing with her, giving her baths, singing her lullabies – but all the same I wonder, where has the time gone? I ...
