This could be a post on being worldly, nomadic and always ready to pick up for the next whimsical adventure. But, it’s not. It is about how we view our homes. As we’ve leaned in to ‘minimalism‘ I have found there are ups and downs to making it work as a family of five. Yet, as […]
Conor had always joked about training for a half marathon. It was joke because our free time as parents of three toddlers was usually delegated to finding ‘that smell’. He worked long hours that didn’t lend themselves to training at reasonable hours. But the true truth is that we both knew what would really happen once […]
I thought I would be more settled with motherhood. 4 and half years and three kids in and I constantly feel like my heart is trampoline for all my worst feelings to have a playdate on. Like most women who become moms, I had confidence in my abilities to be a mom, wife, homemaker before I […]
Hey all! It’s #fiveonfriday! Where I join up with some lady bloggers and we each share a list of five things. Everyone is different, so make sure to check out their links at the bottom of the post.

I’m crashing the #fiveonfriday party with some blogging ladies. We each share a list of five things, any topic. This week I’m gonna tell you about FIVE BOOKS I’M READING What!? Five Books!! Who is this literary novice with her feats of speed reading while three toddlers run amok? Funny you should ask. I’m not […]
Last spring I asked my sweet neighbour how to grow a garden. I wanted cold hard facts. Instead, she said, ‘You just try things. If they work – do it again. If they don’t – then try something else.’ You ever go about having a simple conversation about seeds and soil and then BAM you’re […]
I used to hide all my frustrations. Pretend I didn’t have them. I used to just float about life with the good girl syndrome and a smile on my face. Keeping under the radar. Doing just enough of the ‘right’ stuff so I wouldn’t have to do any more or any less. I was on […]
