Napping together after a long night

I used to read another blog that did something similar to this every month or so, though I don’t remember whose it was. Every month there are always posts someone else writes that are particularly funny or thoughtful or that just say something that I could say in better words than I ever would. [...]

Cooking Spree

IMG_3555

We spent this past weekend cooking up a storm. I’m actually impressed with how much we managed to get done. We made chicken and beef broth, chili, steak and mushroom pie, prespiced whole chickens,  wontons, yam and bean and beef and bean burritos (with homemade tortilla shells and everything), hamburger soup, [...]

Hi baby

IMG_1022

Meredith and I were lying in bed together this morning and the baby was rolling and kicking quite vigorously. I asked Meredith if she wants to feel the baby and she nodded so I put her hand on my belly. It took a couple of tries, but eventually the baby did kick right where [...]

Organic Pouch Sling Giveaway

Continuum Family is hosting a giveaway for an organic pouch sling in honour of International Baby Wearing week. Go here to enter. While you’re at it, check out her website and all her other great products. I’m lucky to live so close to her (within walking distance if I [...]

Sickies

We’ve had colds here. Meredith didn’t get it too badly thankfully, Kris got it the worst. I’ve been napping with her during the days though and that’s normally when I would post. Or at night, but she’s started going to sleep later in the evenings too so I’ve been tending to go to bed [...]

Happy Birthday Meredith!

I can’t believe my little baby is a one year old and is toddling around now. We had a great time on her birthday. Kris took the day off and we planned to go to Salt Spring Island. Meredith and I slept in until 10 (and we’d wanted to catch the 11 ferry), so [...]

Random Stuff

First off, I’ve decided to drop the anonymity. I’ve spoken to my husband about it and he agrees there’s probably not much point. You still won’t find me publishing my address or phone number here, but I’d like to occasionally share pictures or video too. So, hi! I’m Lindsay, my husband is Kris, and [...]

Scary Woodland Creatures

D2, Bebe, and I go for a walk every night before bed. It’s gotten to the point that when Bebe is tired at night she will point to the mei tei and gets really excited as I put it on. At first, we would just wander through the streets, up to a big park [...]

Spring

Spring is definitely my favorite season. I love watching the trees bud and flowers bloom. It’s nicer on the coast than on the prairies, where the grass is still brown and there are no flowers or buds yet. Spring here means more sun, longer days, camping, beaches, walks in the forest, and so much [...]

Mama Mama

Bebe is starting to show an interest in books other than as food. She still will only sit for a page or two, but she looks at the pictures and tries to turn the pages. I love Mama Mama/Papa Papa. One of the lines is: “Mama, Mama, soft as [...]
