We are cottaging in the the Poconos. Out of all of us, Humphrey and Bella (or Hunny and Bada, as Jaia calls them), are having the most fun. But we humans are also having a wonderfully relaxing visit with my parents and my sister. I even snuck in a nap this afternoon. Glorious. And tommorow?...

A few of our friends and family members have keen, keen eyes. I posted pictures yesteray of Jaia with food smeared all over her face, but what her biggest fans were noticing was her bangs, and the fact that I had cut them. Normally, a baby’s first hair cut is one parents leave as long...

Dan and I are very lucky. Though we haven’t worried much about it, we always wondered if Jaia would be a good eater. The Fullertons love their food, and we don’t take breakfast, lunch or dinner lightly around our house. And it turns out, that jaia is just like us. Surprise, surprise. Growing up I...

Camping with kids is MUCH different than camping with people over the age of 20. And as this weekend approached, I have to admit that I was not looking forward to trying to cram all of our stuff, plus Jaia’s stuff, plus the dog and his stuff in to the car for two nights in...

Forever and a day aog, I worked at a large, independent toy store. For much longer than I would like to admit. But, at the time, I loved it. It was SO me. But while there, I used to think about boys and girls and whether or not our toy choices for them influenced the way...

We’ve been trying to get out, as a family, every night after dinner. We all need our dose of vitamin D – especially the mama who is the one stuck in an office ALL DAY LONG. Anyway, these walks have allowed us to really explore our new neighbourhood, which we’ve been meaning to do since...

We bought ourselves a housewarming gift mere hours after taking possesion of the new house. I love my D-50, don’t get me wrong, but I was really missing having a little camera to carry around. With the big one, I always felt like I was ‘missing the moment’ as I would heave it out of...

Even though I felt a little apprehensive about the move back to Orleans, I think it is growing on me. It’s partially due to our house being (almost) completely unpacked. Every thing has finally been put away, all boxes have been emptied and pictures have been hung (including the addition of new beauties, I might add). Yesterday...

Dan travels to Asia for work. Not all of us can claim the same. My work trips have taken me to far less exotic like locations including (and limited to) Toronto, London (ON) and…drum roll…Winnipeg. So each time Dan packs his bag to head to Japan, China or Thailand, I can’t help but feel a...

Thankfully this summer has been sprinkled with goodness (visits from family and friends, trips out of town), because otherwise it’s been BLAH. Yes, we bought and sold a house. Yes, we moved. Yes, a lot has happened. But I still feel blah. Just blah. I can’t help it. I had been on a mad hunt to...
