It’s hard to believe but my summer will be spent undertaking another adventure, getting to know a new personality and adapting to the exciting and unexpected changes ahead.

Life is moving fast but we’re staying still
It’s the first time in over a decade when I haven’t left the province or the country to go explore somewhere new. This post is a small break during a whirlwind year and a pat on the back to remind ourselves of how far we’ve come, without actually having to go that far at all.

London baby: The business of being a new mum
This is our ninth week of parenthood. Not only am I a new mum, I’m: the mother of a baby boy (a new experience having never grown up with brothers of my own!); recovering from surgery after having an emergency c-section; living as an expat in a temporary apartment in a major city in a foreignContinue reading “London baby: The business of being a new mum”
Celebrating Mother’s Day
I know I’ve gone quiet on the blog over the past seven months. Perhaps it’s been because I’ve been focusing on growing a little human…but that would be a lie. We are, in fact, expecting our first baby in London at the end of June (so soon!) but during this time I have had plentyContinue reading “Celebrating Mother’s Day”
