But as this journey has gone by I have really learned some things that have helped with migraines, and if it affects you as well please keep reading along of some tricks that have re

Hard to believe but summer has flown by so fast. In a matter of weeks school will be back in session. If your feeling frazzled welcome to the club. I am so not looking forward to the crazy morning dash to get everyone out the door. But throughout this summer, we have tried to maintain a normal routine for the kiddos and that includes keeping our morning stress free. We will be sharing some awesome strategies to get you and your kiddos out the door. And sure I have days that

Oh my goodness it has been far too long since I have been on here. It's been a little bit of a whirlwind, with my hubs being away for work quite bit, solo motherhood is dang hard, put into combination with my health issues I had step back a bit. But now we are back into the swing of things and I promise not to disappear again. As this title says "HAPPY MAMA????" its been a bit of a battle to get back to being happy. I have been stressed quite a bit of being alone caring for

Hey everyone, sorry we have been MIA. We took so time off after BLOGMAS to spend some family quality time. Happy New Years everyone and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Now getting into business. I wanted to do a little chat about New years resolutions. Now I wanted this year to be really easy and non fussy so I am doing some realistic goals instead of some crazy out there things I have done in the past.

It's been a busy couple of months, with all the moving, schools almost done and just in general life has been busy. I wanted to share some things that we've been loving lately. The kiddos fave thing to do currently is going on lots of walks, we've been doing lots of neighbourhood walks, getting to our new area. It's been fun exploring, finding new parks to play in, little ponds for the kids to check out, the local library and ofcourse all the cute little cafes and bakery shop

Becoming a mom has been the most rewarding and hard thing I have ever done in my life. Not to sound cliche, but from the moment they both came into this world my world changed forever. I was on high alert from every whimper and cry I would run to their crib ro ake sure theyvwe're okay.

The first time (because there was a second) I suffered from postpartum depression was about 2.5 years ago. I remember crying a lot for no apparent reason, feeling so alone and sad.

After months of going back and forth with a fun theme for Tuyet's 6th birthday, we went from Shopkins to The little mermaid and ended up with going to the Vancouver Aquarium. One of the drawbacks of having a December baby is that a lot of people aren't available to come and join the festivities with the Christmas holiday, family vacations and Christmas break. We decided to go low key and spend it with just the four of us exploring the aquarium. Tuyet had so much fun walking a
