Photo credit: Corey J Isenor I know this is stating the obvious, but the state-of-the-world feels insane at the moment. And in the real world I am engaged (taking direct actions, constant discussion, etc), but I have yet to really find my voice in all of it on this blog/internet space. I am still digging… Read more »

The Biggest Surprise From Leaving My Baby
Last weekend was my first weekend away from my baby (and by baby I mean CRAZY TODDLER). Before having kids I would never have guessed it would take me 17 months to make that happen, but due to a few unforeseen circumstances (mainly LIFE) that is how long it took. And although I was SO,… Read more »
#mamaread: My favourite article on parenthood
I read a LOT of articles on motherhood. I don’t really know why, there is just something about wanting to read ANYTHING about ANYONES experience that I find so addicting. Maybe it’s because I’m yearning for the solidarity that someone else out there feels like I do. Or maybe I’m always on the hunt for… Read more »
Post-Kid Puberty
My dear blog that I love with all my heart (and ANYONE IN THE WORLD that reads it), my apologies for not writing for the past 2 months, my excuse is that I now have a toddler. And that doesn’t mean life is any harder, in fact I find it more wonderful and hilarious than… Read more »
ANOTHER Phrase that Needs to be Abolished from Parenthood
Another phrase (in addition to this one!) that I personally believe needs to be abolished from the journey of parenthood (and that I find I say far too much) is: “My baby never does this!“, in response to my baby’s freak out or fussiness when visiting with friends. I would say it when my baby… Read more »
#BOSSMOM: My current favourite book on work + motherhood (and what it taught me)

One!
Prepare yourself for the parenthood cliche of the century: I can’t believe our baby is one and how fast this year went! I don’t care how many people warned us, it still baffles me how fast our tiny babe went from a ball of adorable mush to a hilarious jokester. And no blog post could… Read more »
3 Unexpected Ways Motherhood Has Changed Me
We just returned from an epic week in New York (celebrating THIS amazing film, and THIS amazing bride to be), and having not been there since pre-baby days, it was an amazing barometer to see how life has changed. (Mainly that we spend most of our times in parks now, and that we can still… Read more »
This.
“Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.” –… Read more »
What the books don’t tell you about sleep training
SLEEEEEEP! It is every new-parents’ favourite topic. Really it is more than a casual topic, it’s an obsession. But rightly so, sleep is a big deal (and more so lack-of sleep is a huge deal, and actually even a form of torture). And I know there are endless arguments on both sides of the sleep-training… Read more »
