Spring seems to be the most anticipated season for so many people! For those of us that live on the west coast its that glorious time when the rainy (and recently snowy) season starts to ease up a little. It’s when we get to see more sun, longer days, blue sky and flowers in bloom. […]
Well Dawson is now 4 months old so I really can’t refer to him as a newborn anymore. *insert sigh and possibly a tear* As much as I want him to stay tiny forever I am also starting to embrace the new milestones and stages that are coming up soon! Even though its easy to […]
It’s not often that we see little white flakes falling from the sky here in the lower mainland. Usually it’s a lot of water droplets aka RAIN between October and April. Growing up in northern BC, we had 5-6 months of winter in our small town so when the snow starts falling here it’s like […]
Pregnancy is an incredibly beautiful experience for so many reasons. The new life that you become aware of so quickly, that first ultrasound, the flutters, the kicks, the hiccups, the dreaming of meeting your sweet little one. These things are all awe-inspiring and joyous. There are, however, many challenges that women can face in pregnancy, some […]
Let me start out by saying that I am feeling so sentimental right now. (I know. I say sentimental a LOT! I just love this current stage of life with our kids!) It’s hard to believe that this is the last nursery I will get to dream up and decorate. There are definitely many kids […]

My darling daughters, Did you know that I dreamed of you (and your brother/s) for years before I ever met your daddy? I had lots of lessons to learn before I was ready to be your mama and I’m still learning each and every day but here are a few of my prayers for you […]
And just like that, the 3rd trimester has arrived! I’m having trouble believing that we are starting the 3 month countdown already! Weeks 4 through 19 dragged by slowly as we waited to pass through each emotional milestone right up to our gender reveal ultrasound. When we learned that we were expecting a healthy baby […]
As I sit outside this morning, in our quaint backyard, with the sun shining down and the sounds of birds talking happily to each other my mind feels clear and my heart content in a way that it hasn’t in a long time. It’s difficult to condense into a few paragraphs an update on how […]
Three weeks ago I walked nervously down a hallway to the same room with no windows where, four months earlier, I was told that the baby we had waited 14 long and painful months for no longer had a heartbeat. The same room that I had to call my husband from to tell him that […]
