Dear Son, I have a small suggestion when you are speed crawling laps around the kitchen. Maybe look up once in a while? I'm sorry I laughed hysterically when you ran into the stove, I'm sorry I then called Daddy so he could also laugh hysterically, and I'm sorry I'm posting this now so others… Continue reading I’m sorry I laughed but I’m only human.

I will always love you, but this week I don’t really like you. November 4, 2016
Dear Son, Here's how to not make friends: Wake up the whole household at 1am every night this week then complain you're tired every morning. Mmkay? Love Mommy, xox
My little helper. October 28, 2016
Dear Son, I didn't realize today that it does take two people to blow dry my hair! One working the brush and dryer and the other climbing my legs and pulling the cord. Thanks for helping me get ready for work in such an efficient manner today. Love Mommy xox
Nailed it. October 21, 2016
Dear Son, I'm so delighted to present to you your official first birthday photos. I worked very tirelessly to make them absolutely perfect because your first birthday is something remarkably special that happens once in a lifetime. Similar to all birthdays in fact.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s off to work I go. October 16, 2016
Dear Son, Today marks the last day before I go back to work and soon you will be terrorizing your Oma during the week.

Potato shampoo and yogurt facials. October 5, 2017

“The Talk” September 22, 2016
Dear Son, Now that you are almost a year old I feel it necessary for me to teach you about the ways of life - specifically the opposite sex. Us girls are a complex bunch and strategies should be put in place to win our affections. Just ask Daddy. I was watching you at playgroup… Continue reading “The Talk” September 22, 2016
Onion peels need loving too. September 15, 2016
Dear Son, As I kneel on my hands and knees cleaning up your puke off the floor and from the bottom of my shoe, I can't help but ponder as I do many things now, how did this happen? How can we prevent it happening again? For starters I should do a better job in… Continue reading Onion peels need loving too. September 15, 2016
Grocery shopping 101. September 6, 2016
Dear Son, Next to Daddy, you are my favourite grocery shopping companion. You are rarely crusty as we cruise down the aisles and are very patient in the lineups, so for that I am forever grateful. And for that matter, so is your future wife. There are a couple of situations that did arise today… Continue reading Grocery shopping 101. September 6, 2016
Food connoisseur. August 26, 2016
Dear Son, I am by no means a food connoisseur but in my experience I do have a general idea on what tastes good and bad. You, on the other hand, I question. Once you are able to talk I am really curious to know why you eat grass, mud, sand, lake water, pool water,… Continue reading Food connoisseur. August 26, 2016
