Little H is cutting her two top middle teeth and it is taking it’s toll on her mommy. She hasn’t been going to bed until after 9pm and she is waking up periodically through the night. Needless to say, not much writing – bloggy or otherwise has occured. I’m pushing through though. I have started work (finally!) on a query [...]
Two days ago I had a weird dream, something about a car breaking down. It’s all gotten fuzzy now and I can hardly remember the feel of it, never mind the details. That morning while brushing my teeth I thought about my dream and fleshed it out into a story idea. It was an idea for my flash fiction series [...]
Or otherwise titled: Little H’s Halo Headband revenge.orThe ultimate ‘sanitize setting’ washing machine test. This could get long so grab a cup of coffee and come back……I’ll wait…… Ok so the other day I put little H down for her nap. She went to sleep without a fuss so I got down to being productive. I’d gotten everything ready before [...]
Heather Cook is this weeks Featured Mom. She is a fellow Canadian, a fellow Calgarian, a fellow writer and a fellow Heather. Read her post below. It’s fantastic.

While I am no accomplished poet, I do have appreciation for rhythm and it seems I call on the incomplete [...]
I won a little draw put on by the artisan who made this beautiful bag, so she’s sending me a lovely heart shaped pendant made from reclaimed vintage leather. I’m so excited to see it in person and will post a pic of it when it arrives so you can all be jealous. The artisan has an online shop called [...]
If you’re anything like me your children will be a constant source of inspiration for your creative endeavours. Little H is just starting in with the baby talk. The other day she babbled ‘mamma’. She didn’t mean me, she was just babbling but it still made my heart sing to hear it coming from her tiny lips. And the sound [...]
Jessica and Christina are two sisters who began searching for high quality baby gear. They never did find what they wanted and searching eventually led them to start making their own stuff. Babyhoot was born. After researching everything from fabrics to sizing they began listing their products for sale on Etsy.com in September of 2007. Like typical sisters, they have [...]
