6 Months...*

Today is a big milestone for my boy.

6 months old.

In an hour and a half it will be 6 months to the minute of my baby's first breath in this world. And let me tell you, it is not only him developing as a person, but I am too.

I learn something new everyday, even though he can't talk yet. I learn what makes him laugh, squirm, cry, smile, make certain noises. He has favourite books, favourite shows, favourite toys, etc. It is just crazy how different your days and priorities are when you're a mommy, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I was never one to fuss over other people's babies, never was a huge fan of infants, and enjoyed passing them back to the parents when they got grouchy. I never pictured myself with a big family, and often I even questioned whether I wanted babies. Luckily the day we decided to start trying was the day we conceived, and I never looked back!

Now, i can't imagine life without my G man. I can't imagine a life without at least one more child. I can't imagine a life without wanting to take away my babes' tears, take mental pictures and memorize his smiles, scoop him up in my arms and move to Neverland. He has made me a better person, teaching me along the way how to shape him into the man we want him to be. He makes it so easy. My heart exploded with love 6 months ago, and just when I think I can't welcome any more love into my heart, he goes and flashes me that toothless grin and BOOM, there it goes again.

So, on this very special day, happy half birthday my little/big man! Mommy and daddy love you more than anything and we will try not to spoil you too bad in the future :) (NOT)

Life Lately

-Hosting Bearbrook Ladies night two weekends ago was wonderful! I put out a full charcuterie spread, made a mint/cranberry/grapefruit drink to share, and all of us received a tarot card reading, palm read and a facial read. Pretty much the reoccurring consensus between all three reads (it was two different people doing it) was that my heart and mind live in a state of conflict, but that it works for me to live in a state of balance. I deal mostly with logic and facts, and less with emotions; they think I would be good as an analyst (weird, since this is pretty well my role at work), and with numbers (which I also do all day at work lol). I'm stubborn and loyal and do not have a mean streak. That I am the same person at home as I am in social settings...blah blah blah. It was interesting! -Last weekend, we went out to Tyler's Disco Inferno show to celebrate our friend Jami and Donna's birthdays. We danced away (one of Keira's ECE's from daycare came out too!) and i...

-Garett went on his first friend play date ever , and he had so much fun. It was his two best friends that left daycare to start school last year. -happy that while Garett was at his play date, Tyler was home with Keira and I went out for a bit alone, then came home and we finished The Belko Experiment movie before I went to get him. (He was there for two hours) -sad that this week, Garett only has four days left at daycare :( Friday is Keira's first day, while I keep g home with me. Can't believe it's already almost school time!! -as a "goodbye" gift from g, we bought his daycare provider a necklace from peoples that is a heart with some Garnet stones in it (Garett's birthstone), to remember him by, and I ordered an Aukey essential oils diffuser , a doTERRA starter kit and an essential oils mixing guide recipe book thing. Hopefully she likes it. -Keira adapted SO well to putting herself down for her nap. She's down to one a day, and I just give...

Friday fun!

Thank God it's Friday, and that this week is O-V-E-R!!! -It was a stressful week at home. Looking forward to a fun weekend! -I am being audited for child care expenses in 2018--I'm not the only one that thinks we pay too much money in child care! LOL...I submitted my receipts online (they are catching up with the times and it's great!) and turns out I actually underclaimed by a few hundred dollars haha. -Tonight is calm, just hanging at home with the kids. -Saturday I have an eyelash appointment at 2:00, and then we have a sitter coming at 6:00 so we can go to a Wine & Cheese night up the road at our friends house. -Sunday is a day of rest until the evening when Shan comes over and we head into town to go to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas at the NAC (I bought Tyler and I tickets as an early Christmas gift). We are sitting pretty close, so I hope we don't get any of their nasty sweat on us lol -Monday I am off since the TPB thing only starts at 8PM, I didn...
