August 24, 2011

The BSM is away on tour. This video of their Tom Foolery during a Robson Valley mudslide has some to do with their musical talent but all sorts to do with their plain awesomeness.

It’s a Girl! Introducing Abigail Mills. Blog Roundup & Pictures.

August 4, 2011

Middle name(s) to be established. You can read more about that here. What an epic couple of weeks! It began with having a baby. A girl! Yay! Ruffles! Vintage dresses! Another female in the house. Phew. Now we’re all on even playing ground, which, clearly – is necessary. For the sake of all boobs and neighbours involved. [...]

The Naming Ceremony

July 19, 2011

Over the weekend, our elder came to visit. This woman, this goddess, this Midewin Healer, has brought so much cohesion, knowledge, love, ceremony, healing and understanding into our family. I am grateful everyday for the relationships that have transpired because of you and me, songbird. Songbird is one of my best girl’s and our elder [...]

Nighty Night

June 14, 2011

It’s been months since we transitioned from co-sleeping to the WSL sleeping in his own bed. That was no easy feat. Between me and the BSM or  us and our boy. We were all up in arms over how to do it, because nearing his 1st b-day we I, were just not getting enough/any sleep!

June 8, 2011

This baby is comin’ in but a few short weeks or so (6?). ‘Official’ due date being Aug. 1. So i’m fine tuning our Birth Plan, and NO – it’s not our Holy Grail. We know things could go down other than planned, I’m aiming for a natural birth again (this time in the water), [...]

Where, Oh Where

April 13, 2011

Have I been? Painting, painting, painting. Designing kitchen islands and fireplace mantles, unpacking and organizing galore. Not to mention working on my new spring line, making application deadlines for summer fall and Christmas artisan shows and taking on a new contract as the ‘social media maven’ (?) for Borealis Records.

Imagine (most of us can’t remember) what it would be like wearing a diaper 24/7. Plus, the tooshie is painfully cute. Undeniably, [...]

Ghosts From Christmas Past

January 12, 2011

Boogedy Boo. Life has a very strange way of crushing one at times. With love, blessed beginnings, nasty-sickness-that-just-won’t-go-away, deadlines, defeat, waves of overpowering depression, doubt, joy, never-ending-to-do-list, fear, mayhem. I’ve been indulging in escapism to ignore, y’know; the procrastinate to make it worse syndrome. I’m told I’m too hard on myself, but – this. Is. [...]

Baby Food Made Easy

October 2, 2010

As with all things baby, the information, the school’s of thought, the opinions shoved down your throat, the modern conveniences – can all overwhelm a parent. With non-prefab, healthy food being our top priority when merging into food-land with the WSL, I read, researched and read some more. Then I stopped. I mean really. Granted [...]
