If you know anything about underdeveloped countries, education (rather, lack thereof) is often a major factor that holds people back from increasing their quality of life. By sponsoring classrooms via World Vision Canada, we can help make a difference for some children in these parts of the world.

I'm no Mother's Day expert (Sunday was only my fourth Mother's Day ), however I am enough of an expert to know that it just felt strange. I'd like to think there is no stigma attached to single parenting, however I swear I felt the stares yesterday. Literally, every mom I saw along our walk and at the park was there with an entire family; kids, and husband in tow.
Read MoreI've been posting a lot recently about Hudson being sick, and then me being sick. I receive countless messages of concern, suggestions, and sincere love, so for all of you, thank you. As I have been off of work today sick (again), I was in bed reflecting on why I have been struck with so many viruses lately, so I decided to let you all know my secret...

Read MoreLast night, after a weekend spent with Hudson, I was left feeling sad, emotional, and drained. I have him every weekend (Thursday-Monday), and make it my top priority to ensure we play, make memories, go on adventures, learn, and snuggle. We typically "do it all", and then I'm literally exhausted by the end of the weekend, just in time to start a fresh work week. Adversely, on a given day when we don't "do it all", and we stay home most of the day and do chores and watch movies and play (like yesterday), I'm left feeling guilty and empty. "Did I do enough?"... "Maybe we should have gone somewhere, or done something!"

Read MoreIt's only been a mere 6 months on this coparenting journey, but we have found that these simplistic guidelines have helped Hudson adapt to having two homes. Coparenting is challenging for everyone involved, but you can make things more comfortable for your kids if you listen to their desires and accommodate them without hesitation. Here's what has worked for us so far
Read MoreTime is, by far, the strangest concept for me. On one hand, I feel like it was just yesterday that Hudson lived inside of me, sending shock waves of kicks and hiccups in my abdomen. On the other hand, I feel like I have known him my eyntire life. In fact, I tell many people close to me that I pity the pre-Hudson person I once was. What motivated me? What inspired me? What did I do with all of my time? How empty my heart must have been. I had no idea how much room I had in it to welcome such a being. He truly is my life and soul.
