Life with Mason
Goodbye and Good riddance to Mr. Binky!
I've been wanting to write this blog for a long long time and in doing a lot of research I figure I have until Mason is 12 months to ensure that Mr. Binky takes a hike. Mason didn't seem too interested in the pacifier after he was born but we bought one a…
Toy companies spend millions of dollars on research to ensure their toys will engage children and provide enjoyment for hours. I recently posted about some toys that we purchased for Mason and not surprisingly he has found alternate uses for them...
I say, "don't bother". Mason spent more ti…
Going on maternity leave is usually an exciting time. Your new baby is arriving in a few weeks, you don' t have to work! You can get caught up on your soaps and eat bon bons all day. Okay, maybe not. So seriously, the one thing about going on maternity leave that is extremely stressful is havi…
I first noticed Jump Gymnastics across the street from my workplace and thought it would be a great outing for Mason, especially now that he is so mobile and loves to climb! I visited their website and looked up the info for the drop in class. I invited all of my parent friends who had kids tha…
Put him in a shirt that has a carrot on it. Duh!

I've always been good about donating used clothing and household goods to charity and from my last move the Salvation Army really got a good lot from. I was sick of moving and decided to donate a LOT of new stuff to charity just so I didn't have to move it lol. Now seeing as how I am on Mater…
I've received quite a few comments from people I don't know (aka strangers) that read my blog on a regular basis - thank you! I think that's really wonderful that my weekly musings are worth reading!
I'd love to know what your thoughts are on the new design! Please click on the 'Guestbook' tab tha…
I have!
Well not exactly...but I'd love to share this bit o' info with you's. I recently attended the Vancouver Children's Trunk Show on Friday, November 5th with my friend Satri and her Daughter Sienna. It was featured at the Museum of Vancouver (MOV) which was just a small room in their gall…
Back in the day, okay back in March...anytime Mason would see my naked breast he'd be like 'yum milk!' and try to locate the nipple like a little baby Stevie Wonder. He did this cute little head wave side to side and his little mouth would be agape. Success and he'd suck happily and have a drink.…
And it's a question that has no answer. I sat on the fence for the last week, reading various articles of the Pandemic in BC and other provinces. Hearing the heart wrenching comments from parents who had lost their children to this super flu. I asked Clayton what his thoughts were and he initiall…
