I’ve been thinking a lot about when I should have the next baby. I have never pictured myself having only one child, never in a million years (and that’s why it was so difficult to think of only ever having one when faced with the reality of isoimmunization), mostly because my siblings are so important [...]

Mudder’s Day is on Sunday and it’s supposed to rain. Shitty. I’ve been swamped with buying procycled fabric, sewing slings to sell there and maintaining their website. My sister designed a poster advertising the slings and it’s the first time she’s ever done work for me in return for me developing her website which [...]

Clive has to go away on business for two weeks in May (then home for a week and then gone for another week). This is his third trip in the seven months he’s worked at this job (first to Toronto and then to Montreal), and this time he’s being sent to Augusta, Georgia. [...]

I have recently volunteered to develop a website for an upcoming event called “Mudder’s Day”* being held here in Halifax. I attended a spoonholder’s meeting last week (thanks to Ambera for babysitting!) and when I told them that I’d like to set up a table to sell baby slings I felt immediately guilty because I [...]

Photos from the past couple of days, including my birthday:

I look like I’m giving myself birthday spankings when I was actually not.

Well, it’s my 28th birthday. I’m not thrilled about turning this age, but at least we have a good day planned. Clive woke up with Ash for an hour at 5am and another hour at 7:30am so that I could have a (mostly) uninterrupted sleep. I usually take the 5 or 6am shift, [...]

I went to school in 2001 with a loan that paid the tuition to a shitty private college and my living expenses for that year. The education was some of the worst I’ve ever experienced, but it did take me to Africa, it did allow me to work in the Caribbean and I’m [...]

Oh man, I miss heat. Today was like +10 so Ash and I were able to just wear our hoodies and not be cold. But it’s not good enough! I want sun and surf and warm ocean water! Clive’s going to GA from May 11-24 on business and we’re going to try to [...]

It’s strange how your friends change once you have a baby. I’m constantly amazed at how SOCIAL I’ve become. I have no social anxiety whereas before Ash was born I wouldn’t have dreamed of signing up for activities that involved other people. I was far too shy.
Suddenly now I have something in [...]

Well, after several grueling days of designing invitations, I finished them last night. I walked to the print shop today to see if I could get my proof printed (while I waited, preferably, though unlikely) but they were closed. I’m not going to share it with the online public, at least until I get [...]
