I posted a picture on my facebook page the other day that said "Teach girls to prioritize feeling safe over being nice". I think for every one of us women that hits home more than we would like it too. It got me thinking this morning about how when it comes to raising a boy… Continue reading Daughters
Some days you won't shower Some days your teeth will have tiny little sweaters on them Some days your mom bun will need a few more bobby pins Some days coffee will be your breakfast, lunch and part of your dinner. Some days your whole body doesn't feel like it could actually get up and… Continue reading Hard days in a strange world
The kids are currently on our deck underneath the sheet I nailed into the corner with the dollar store blow up pool. It's hot out and we just took down the big pool we had because of its being a breading ground for parasites. We started the day at 6:30am which seems to be the… Continue reading The adventures of two wild ones
Things change so fast with kids, it really does feel like you blink and miss them. Not just the walking talking and eating part of kids because we all talk about that a lot. We talk about the sleep stages and how you get used to a 7 to 7 bedtime and the next night… Continue reading The winds of change
I have a problem. I'm sure I've mentioned it before. Control. The inability to allow the kids to be 100% free from me telling them what to do. I know its a problem and its something I'm working on daily. It really comes out when we are in public. I'm constantly worrying about what is… Continue reading You cant always get what you want

There aren't many time that I'll get up and at em except when I'm pushed to the brink. So when I have… Continue reading Dos and donuts
We have had my parents here for the past two weeks and tomorrow they leave. If I said I wasn't upset that they were leaving I'd be lying. As it is right now there is no next visit planned. So we don't know when we will get to make more memories together. They are planning… Continue reading Family values
Dinner time used to be a uneventful 20min of food and zero words. Our family does not speak when they are eating. There is no dinner conversation here, 100% food concentration. The past two weeks though have changed. Like they do with growing children, whenever you get used to one thing they sense that and… Continue reading Why animal mothers eat their young
I was able to spend a few hours away from the house today with my mum wondering around the downtown area of Drumheller. Papa stayed at home with the kids, once Parker went for a nap mum and I took off. There's some cute little shops in the downtown area of Drumheller, with dinosaurs sitting… Continue reading We all need a little help
Do you ever just lay in bed rethinking the day and cringe with decisions you've made or things you've said?! Some nights I just want to wake them up and say I'm sorry for something that happened during the day. The struggle is so real some days. Standing by what you've said and being consistent… Continue reading Just trying to make it through the day
