It Finally Happened, Plus A Family Reunion

Cousins

This past week we finally said goodbye to the last pacifier in our home. This is just one step further away from the baby stage which brings a mix of emotions.

You can read more about our family’s experience with pacifiers on Baby Center: There’s a magical age to ditch the pacifier, and I know what it is.

Also, we had a week full of fun while Mike was on holidays, including a family reunion at a farm with all of the little cousins.  Follow along on the vlog…

Sometimes I Just Need A Little Space

OakvilleWe are a family that thrives on and craves routine. My kids and I need some kind of structure to our day and without it we start getting irritable and anxious. Mike (and maybe Beau) on the other hand do pretty well being on vacation.

Don’t get me wrong, I do have fun, but it is really hard to shake the nagging to-do lists that constantly run through my mind throughout the day.

It has taken me over a year to create some semblance of balance in our lives, but unfortunately it is a fragile house of cards that can be blown down with a single staycation.

Little did I know that Mike had seen some footage of me talking about how I struggle with this and how it can be a trigger for my anxiety.

In today’s vlog I talk about how I use some much needed space to regroup and continue enjoying our staycation.

Also, we take a little trip to a neighbouring lakeside city for a specialist appointment for Beau.
