Birthday + Pandemic + Terminal Cancer = Perfection

If you would have told me three months ago, that I would be celebrating my last birthday of my 30’s being isolated from my family and friends during a pandemic I would have laughed at you. I probably would have told you that you were crazy and that there was no way I wasn’t going […]

Today you are 4

Dear Little Dude, It is mind-boggling that you are turning 4 today (I’m 2 days late! It was on Monday July 17)! I remember being pregnant with you like it was yesterday and here we are with you turning four and starting JK in September! Before I wrote this letter, I went back and read […]

Happy 5th birthday Princess Peach!

My So-Called Mommy Life

Dear Princess Peach, I can’t believe that you are 5 years old today! A whole hand of fingers. It feels like you were just a baby yet at other times it feels like you’ve been a big kid for so long. You are quite the spirited girl who loves to talk. Your talking could be […]

Alive at 35

My So-Called Mommy Life

  Last year when I turned 34, I had no clue if I would see today. What a difference a year makes. Just 3 weeks earlier, I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. What a difference a year makes. 3 days before my birthday, I had my first round of chemotherapy. What a difference a […]

4 years of Princess Peach

Dear Princess Peach, I can’t believe that today we are celebrating you turning 4. It feels like you have been part of my life forever, yet four years is a short amount of time. I remember the first time I laid eyes on you in the OR and now I’m looking at my beautiful four-year […]

Celebrating Princess Peach’s birthday at Kidville Canada

Kidville Canada birthday party My So-Called Mommy Life

A few weeks ago I shared that we were going to have Princess Peach’s third birthday at Kidville. Read all about how easy it is to plan a party at Kidville here. The day of the party wasn’t stressful at all which felt SO strange. The Hubster and I weren’t running around the city getting […]

Wordless Wednesday- This is ONE!

This post isn’t wordless 🙂 Little Dude turned ONE last Thursday, on July 17. I’ve taken monthly pictures and loved putting them together to see how he has changed each month! We didn’t have a party for Little Dude which I felt guilty about…..until we had just immediate family over for dinner on his actual […]

Another Year Older- Birthday Bucket List

Today is my birthday. I really can’t believe it. I’m another year older and hopefully somewhat a little bit wiser. In honour of my 32 year I’d like to make a list of 32 things that I’d like to accomplish before my 33rd birthday. By putting it in writing I’m hoping that before next years […]
