Why is it that we live in a society where it’s not okay for parents to have a “off” day….okay in some cases a couple of “off” days. I am not referring to going on a vacation without the kids, I mean emotionally. Yes we are in charge of little humans, but there seems to…

K’s room transformation
Yesterday I took photos of Keera’s room, then I didn’t clean it until today..I forgot to get before photos of the bed when we were in the middle of cleaning the room it was really overwhelming. Oh well c’est la vie, but in case you are intrigued as to what happens when you leave a…
11 things about dating a single mom
A lot of people think that dating a single mother is the same as dating a woman with no children. I’m sorry to burst that unrealistic bubble, but dating is messy and dating with kids is messy with a glass of spilled milk. For the unfortunate and lucky few that get to date a single…
En Français…right.
Tonight I was reading Keera and Zaden one of the books that Keera brought from her school library. She attends a French school and they do have a couple of English books in the library, but most of them are in French. One of the books that she chose was “Rapunzel” but it was in…
Sunday dinner conversations
Yesterday night at dinner while I was finishing up my supper, Zaden brought his piggy bank to the kitchen (it looks like a really big bottle but it’s plastic and has the flames on it). He just got it for Christmas, so he had no money put in it yet. This is the conversation we…

I’m not usually a morning person.
I’m not usually a morning person, I wake up between 6:30-6:40am to get Keera ready for school. The morning goes a bit like this, I wake up Keera and she tells me she’s tired, after much negotiation she finally gets up. Usually she’s grumpy (I can’t say that I blame her.) She gets dressed you…
Stay at home mom goes left
I don’t hate Mondays, until this week Monday’s were just another day of the week to me, a day that Keera had to get up for school, a day that Zaden and Emilee would like to go back to bed and nap. Now that I work in the afternoon/into the evening I don’t like going…
10 questions my child asks me after work every day
I decided to get a part-time job, something to give me some time away from my kids and give me some extra cash. I started last week and it’s only Monday to Friday the hours vary from 3-5 hours per shift. To a lot of people that doesn’t seem like a very long time that…
Treehouse led me to paradise
This morning a rare thing happened, Em and Z decided to play quietly with the toys in the living room TOGETHER. This is unheard of, Em’s not much for playing alone with Z he likes to push her buttons even though he loves her to pieces. I figured I’d take advantage of this rare opportunity…
