When we leave Fredericton, one of the things I will really miss is Clay Cafe. I will have been working there for pretty near on 5 years by then, and I can fairly easily say it has been the best. job. ever. I am so lucky to have Amy and Steve for my bosses. They… Continue reading where I work

Big Move
As I am sure most of you know we’re moving to Toronto. It’s a big move and the decision wasn’t made lightly. We’ve known for a while that one day we’d leave Fredericton, the big questions were when and where. One of our biggest concerns was accessibility of family. With respect to distance Calgary would… Continue reading Big Move
this sucks.
Missing picture captioned “storing up all the happy thoughts and excitement to remember later.” (I really hope that this is the hardest blog post I ever have to write.) Well, this has been quite the tough week. Ok, screw it: this week has SUCKED. A LOT. Not only have I been in a fragile… Continue reading this sucks.
week 8
So, my grandmother passed away this week. I’m definitely still processing that and allowing myself plenty of time to be sad and focus on the wonderful memories that I have of her. We were truly blessed as kids to have an amazing family, full of cousins and family get-togethers and a whole lot of fun.… Continue reading week 8

Maybe they’re getting tighter because my body is slowly starting to change. Maybe it’s because I recently washed them. Most probably it’s all in my head – I’m imagining discomfort… Continue reading week 7
Something I’m Excited For

Netflix is having some… Continue reading Something I’m Excited For

Well, there’s another little blip in the excitement meter: I just got a call from the doctor! Blood work came back (about 3 days earlier than I was expecting it to) and everything looks good – no potential buggy things, and all my mineral levels and such are right where they should be. Brilliant! Coolest… Continue reading butterfly wishes
… and so, it begins!
It was Saturday morning. March 3, 6:30 in the morning. I think I was up early mostly because I had promised myself that I could take a test. After 6 months of trying, I don’t even remember how many pregnancy tests I have gone through. Particularly in the first couple of months when I was… Continue reading … and so, it begins!
it’s only been a week?
It’s been one week and two days since we found out that we were pregnant. The initial excitement has worn off, replaced with … well, I’m not quite sure, to be honest. I’ve been focussed for the past 6 months on getting pregnant and imagining how excited I’ll be once we’re pregnant that I guess… Continue reading it’s only been a week?
