Hello! I wanted to wish everyone the happiest of holidays!
I’m so grateful that the threat of lockdowns and overreach of government is a thing of the past and that we are able to celebrate the holidays the way we want and deserve to.
However you find yourselves this year, I hope that you have peace and happiness.
Merry Christmas!!!

Happy Halloween boys and ghouls!
These were taken in October at my mum’s place on our most recent trip to BC. I’m so blessed to have three little ghostlings of my own this year!
Have a safe and happy Halloween.

Happy belated Easter!!
I had the idea to have an Easter egg hunt in a field after first reading “Happy Easter, Little Critter” to our children last year. It’s one of our favourite Little Critter books and it’s just so darn cute.
So last year, I hid some eggs in the field directly behind our house and one afternoon that Easter weekend the kids searched for some eggs. I documented it all. Even though I was newly pregnant and very nauseated, we all had so much fun.
This year, I decided to hide the eggs in the farmer’s field beside the park that we walk to almost on a daily basis. It has a few more hills and trees than ours, and I thought that it would be a different experience for Remy and Wilder.
Also, baby sister was here to join us this year and she certainly made it all much cuter!
In all honesty, they love searching for eggs more than the gifts and the chocolate they receive at Easter. I hope to continue this tradition for many years to come. (I may even include the neighbour children next year just like in the book!)
Hope your Easter was hopping!

In one of the books that I read to Remy, Happy Easter, Little Critter, all of the church-going critter children have an Easter egg hunt in a field. I loved that idea so much, so I decided to have one of our own!
I bought the cutest baskets from Michael’s, eggs from Dollarama, and made them bunny ear floral crowns. Then I waited for a warm day. I told them that the Easter bunny would be coming twice this year- once to do an egg hunt in the field, and once when it was really Easter. They were just so, so, so excited. It was the sweetest thing!
The Easter bunny left them baskets and a sign outside …
then laid out the eggs in the field …
and off we went to find them.
This will now be a yearly tradition for us. I can’t express enough how much joy it brought to everyone. The neighbour even joined in!
Have a hoppy Easter, everyone!

As I write these words, I am just so relieved that 2020 is coming to an end. At the same time, I am wary to say that we are in the clear just yet. It seems like every time I turn around, bad luck is coming someone’s way (and we are not exempt).
Personally, this was a year filled with medical appointments and mental health issues. From physical symptoms that triggered anxiety, to anxiety that caused physical symptoms. I had so many tests done, and yet, no answers from doctors. I heard words from them that had life-changing and even potentially terminal outcomes, and then was told that I’m too anxious when I would break down over their mention of a horrible illness. They all threw an assortment of drugs my way together with more and more referrals. That is, until I stopped going.
I am coming out of this year with a deeper understanding of mental illness, and ways to treat and cope with one without relying on western doctors and medication. I’ve had so much help from professionals in alternative medicine- with their gentle and effective treatments, complete understanding of what goes on inside someone’s mind and body, and positive mindsets. I don’t think that I would have survived this year without them. Actually, I know it.
I hope to one day write a blog post about anxiety and what I, as someone who is only just learning about it, have tried and what suggestions to do to overcome it naturally. I’m sure it will be a life-long journey, and it is one that I can share in these early days.
As 2021 approaches, I am trying my hardest to leave all of this negativity behind me.
Goodbye to the most challenging year, on a global scale, this century. You tried to break us, but you did not succeed. You will not be missed!
