So, this weekend, Scott and I went to a hotel for one night and left Lily with her Nana and Gump. We took her out to my parents’ place right after lunch so she would sleep in the car and then have some play time with us before we had to leave. She woke up […]
Lily’s current favourite activity is building with her blocks. Anytime that she is not eating, sleeping or out and about with Momma she is playing with blocks. When she first started building with blocks she would just keep building up the single blocks. It would get so high and then when she put the block […]
For anyone who might be checking in on my blog. Not that I think anyone is. It has been moved. And I will be spending the next little while tweaking it to make it look a little nicer. You can now find me at www.mommaslittlemiracles.com
As Lily’s 18 month birthday approaches, it becomes more and more obvious that she is becoming a toddler! The past week or so she has decided that temper tantrums are the way to go. She is still a very happy, silly little girl, but if something doesn’t go just the way she wants she starts […]
There are lots of blogs and websites out there to tell you what a bad parent you are, and why. There are lots out there to tell you that you are not a bad parent, but only if you are like them. There are a few out there that will tell you that you are […]

Okay, so my irrational childhood fears came back to haunt me not long ago. I was fairly certain that as an adult (who has plenty of irrational fears, anyway) my silly fears of monsters was behind me. However, it would appear that I was somewhat mistaken… So, as a child, when I would take a […]
So this amazing thing happened recently; Lily started helping me! It started with, ‘Lily, bring me your block’ so that I could put her blocks away. I would point to the block I wanted her to bring me, she would walk over, pick it up, walk back and hand it to me. She followed this […]
So, Lily’s birthday is February 2; right in the thick of winter. Usually, here in Halifax, not a big deal. Living on the coast we don’t often get big snow storms, and when we do they are promptly followed by enough rain to wash it all away. February 2, 2013 was on a Saturday, which […]
