Getting Up Early & Other Random Updates

I’ve finally succumbed to the fact that the ONLY way a busy mom of THREE can find time to workout is to get up early. Like at the butt crack of dawn early. ~YAWN~ I joined a gym.  I finally bit the bullet and joined GoodLife Fitness (a major fitness chain in Canada). ~$$$$$$~ But…

Perhaps I AM Perfect?

Back when Sierra was a baby I stressed out a lot about being the perfect mom. I had a pre-conceived notion of what a perfect mom was and when things didn’t go perfectly it stressed me out – to the point of anxiety and sleeplessness. Now that Sierra is 5.5, Brooke is 3.5 and Amber…

I Could Get Used to This…

Last week Friday was my last day of work… I’m now on Maternity Leave for 1 whole year!  (Being Canadian is AWESOME!). Truthfully my last leave wasn’t all that fun – a terrible two year old, a baby who would only sleep in two hour spurts at night and a hubby who was either travelling…

I Can Blog Now

I’m rewarding myself for resisting the urge to log into the computer and waste endless hours surfing aimlessly. I’m sorry if you missed me. Well, not really sorry to be honest because I actually accomplished some stuff! Yay!

The past few days here in Southern Ontario have been absolutely BEEEEEYOOOOTIFUL! So I took advantage of them. Tuesday at lunch I came home, let the dog out to make an arse of herself chasing squirrels, spent 10 min trying to track down a pair of shorts, then headed out for a 2.4km run. Yes I did it! I finally ran again! And it felt soooooooo good!

An Update of Sorts

I’ve been a horrible blogger lately haven’t I?  I’ve started off on topics and never provided an update…  Things like: weaning, Brooke’s first day of daycare, my trip to Ottawa etc….  So here’s where I update you on my life – sorry for the point form: Daycare – Brooke’s 1st day went well.  She cried…

I’m Sorry Little Brookie

I’m saying this ahead of time ’cause I know that my wee little daughter is about to have the worst day of her wee little life tomorrow.  You see I have something important to do tomorrow afternoon before I go back to work (I won’t tell you what it is just yet – that’s for…

Hurray For Molly Maid!

Molly Maid is coming tomorrow to clean, clean, clean my house!  Yippee!  I finally cracked and said ok to a cleaning service – after tomorrow’s initial clean, they’ll be coming every other week!  Hubby has been saying we should get one for about 5 yrs, but I was always hesitant, to me it always seemed…

Take A Dip With Diaper Fit

After blogging about missing my mom and baby water aerobics class for the past three weeks thanks to Brooke’s napping, I finally made it to class again!  Yay!  I worked really hard to keep her awake this morning so we could go, though I almost had to drive back home when she began to nod…
