At first glance, this looks like a fairly regular day in the kitchen. But if you look closely, you’ll see that the cupcake is in the dishwasher, and the empty plate is in the oven. Chaos. Read more →

Things I find in the kitchen: Day 1
Things I find in the kitchen: Day 1 I’m back with a hard hitting series on things that I find in the play kitchen aka the imagination centre. Without much explanation, and various speculations, I will be posting photos of the kitchen and the random things I find inside. Shoutout to my toddler and her friends for keeping me entertained!… Read more →
#BoutThatToddlerLife
Guess who has a toddler now? This mom! 18 month old? No. A one year old who climbs up and down the climber by herself like a big girl. Therefore it is with some sadness and some excitement that I must change her nickname from Baby SunSun to “Meesh”. Official Announcement: Baby SunSun shall henceforth be referred to as “Meesh”.… Read more →
Picky eater toddler
Just going to sleep but I thought I’d share a quick win. I’ve been thinking of ways to give options without wasting a lot of food. After all the suggestions the vast internets had to offer, I decided to try the finger foods buffet (see picture below) And it was a hit. By hit I mean, raisins were dipped in… Read more →
Thankful Thursday : the Library
Listen, yesterday, it rained. When the kids were sleeping, no rain. Kids are awake, rain. So it was a no park day. No outside day actually. The second day that we didn’t go out even for a quick walk around the block, since I started home daycare. The kids were not impressed. Today the ground was still wet, and… Read more →
First steps
Hey! Guess who took their first steps (unassisted) today? That’s right! This baby! Sorry I didn’t get a picture of it. It was unexpected and I didn’t have the camera ready. But so very exciting! Baby Sunsun is one year old, has taken her first steps, is cutting her 6th and 7th tooth (at the same time), dances like… Read more →
Back to work!
Believe it or not, it has been just over a year since I went on maternity leave. Since I live on the other side of Canada now, I surely will not be returning to my workplace in Ontario. Instead, I am taking in 2 babies, for a total of 3 including Baby Sunsun. Running a childcare service from my own… Read more →
Thankful Thursday : Warm Weather
Let me tell you, if I lived in the arctic…mmm nope! That would not happen. I need to play outside. Now that I have a little one, more than ever, I need to go out in the sunshine and sit on the grass. I need to go for a run without thinking about ice on the road. I need summer. … Read more →
Thankful Thursday : Airplanes
If you read my previous post, you’ll know that I am currently separated from my parents and siblings by most of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and a large part of Ontario. So today I am thankful for airplanes. They bring my family to me and me to my family in approximately 2 hours. (And $1000 round trip for Christopher,… Read more →
Saying goodbye (or see you later) is hard
So I dropped my mom off at the airport yesterday. We both cried. I haven’t spent this much quality time with my mom, the way I did this weekend, for as long as I can remember. If I still lived in Ontario, my mom wouldn’t spend 4 nights at my house. We would see each other more frequently but not… Read more →
