Do You Remember Your First Dream?

Sharing In My Daughter's One of Many Firsts

My daughter had her first dream.

She told me so.

It involved a heart and a cloud and toys and her favourite cousin.

She told me it was a very important dream.

And that she’d never had one before.

And I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have these firsts with her.

These tiny, insignificant firsts.

These firsts that mean everything to her.

And to me.

I can’t remember my first dream.

God knows what it was about, but I wager that it also involved toys and, perhaps, my sister.

What Type Of Mom Are You?

A must-read for all mothers

I’m the type of mom who can never get into bed before midnight.

You’re the type of mom who wakes up before the sun.

We could both use a few more hours in the day.

I’m the type of mom who buys her daughter an extravagantly detailed cake for her birthday.

You’re the type of mom who bakes her son the biggest Lego cake he’s ever seen.

We both cherish these magical moments.

You're The ONE!

You're ONE Of A Kind, Baby

You're the ONE with your daddy's curls.

You’re the ONE who refuses to crawl.

You’re the ONE who finally holds her own bottle.

You’re the ONE who has always shared the spotlight with your sister.

You’re the ONE who shuffles on your bum in a ridiculously adorable way.

You're the ONE who growls fiercely to show your absolute delight.

You’re the ONE who has cheeks just meant to be bitten.

You’re the ONE who refuses to succumb to cuddles, but will shower us with tiny sweet kisses.

The Internet Has Become My BFF

Meet my new friend Playtex Mommyville

Night-time feedings suck. There’s just no other way to put it. It’s no fun at all to be sleep-deprived and there is nothing appealing about constantly being woken up in the middle of the night.

But (FYI, there is always a but)….

I’m all about trying to make the best out of bad situations. Which is why I’ve figured out something that actually makes my night-time feedings much more pleasant. These feedings have become my time to read mommy sites online. Multitasking at its finest, obviously.

Searching For The Perfect Diaper Bag

I'm On A Hunt For The Elusive Diaper Bag That Will Solve All My Problems

I desperately need a new diaper bag. And not just any diaper bag, but the most practical diaper bag ever made. I know this sounds trivial and ridiculous, but it has become a dire necessity and I’m sure other mommies would agree with me. I refuse to have a newborn without this very crucial item in my possession. It just won’t be done.
