I am a 30 year old mom.
I was a goody-two-shoes growing up.
I loved school (yes...I was one of THOSE kids),
I went straight from highschool to university and started a pretty decent job right after graduation.
However,
2 years in I felt like I was missing something in my life,
and decided to leave it all behind
and travel to Thailand.
A couple of years,
a few countries and many miles later,
I finally found myself,
and also found the love of my life.
We decided to head on back to the Great White North (I am a Canadian) and settle down.
Now,
I pretty much spend my days chasing after my little man,
trying to keep Kitty from destroying the house,
and when I get a spare second I try to squeeze in some yoga or
cuddle up on the couch with a good book.
Our little family consists of me, my husband,
my 9 month old son Finnley
and our dumb (but very pretty!) cat Kitty.
My husband and I met while travelling in Thailand, and
we knew pretty quick we were soul-mates
(as cliche as that is!).
It took us a couple of years to figure out we couldn't fight fate, and so we married, got a cat and eventually were lucky enough to be able to add to our family with a bouncing baby boy!
My family is silly, funny, loving
and I think we're perfect
(but I may be a bit biased...)
Once I found out I was pregnant,
and after the excitement wore off,
I started to realize that I really had no idea what I was doing.
So, I started
as a way to express my sheer and utter bafflement with the whole experience of pregnancy.
Since we've progressed now into the land of parenting,
it's really no different.
I am still clueless and just fly by the seat of my pants usually.
Parenting is hard work and it's been quite an adventure to figure it all out.
So on my blog you will usually find a story about something strange
or ridiculous that recently happened,
or a recipe that I love,
or some of my attempts at photographing my son.
It's pretty much an eclectic mix of all things me (and some things Finnley…)!
