The Best of 2009
Clearly the highlight of 2009 was the birth of little L. These shots were taken 2 year apart when they were each around the same age. Everyone is saying how much my two babes look alike. With two little girls, I love seeing the clothes that K used to wear being used and passed onto L. Continue reading
Peace & Joy
We’re settling in for a wonderful christmas this year as a family of four. After being in and out of waiting rooms and hospital over the past several days (our newborn babe had a bout of jaundice) we’re all quieting down and settling in for some holiday cheer at long last. Continue reading
It’s a Girl!
We’re all beside ourselves with our little bundle of December joy and will take a little break from blogging over the next few days, but wanted to update with some photos and note that this little one’s arrival came in quite a hurry, mearly 2 hours from when the last Countdown was posted, on Decmeber 16 at 6:27 pm.

Counting Down: Day 3
It’s day 3 and I’m getting a little impatient to say the least. I’ve tried all the old tricks; spicy food, walking, even my floors have never been cleaner! Continue reading
Counting Down: Day 2
K is spending the day with grandma and grandpa today so I have some time to myself and a little rest. Report from my midwife today: still 2-3 cms dialated (which is the same as last week) and 40% effaced. Doesn’t look good that this baby is coming out anytime today, at least. Continue reading

Green Crafts: Wreath
Since I’ve been at home this past week, I’ve been thinking about a holiday craft project that K and I could do together. Inspired by this repurposed holiday wreath, K and I crafted our own version using old Christmas cards, vintage buttons and saved satin ribbon from previous gift wrappings — a truly green wreath!

The FlowerPot Hat
I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to knit this hat. It’s been in my mind for a while now, but something always came up… another project, another thought, another distraction. Continue reading
Holiday Traditions: Christmas Treats
One tradition I have kept up since hubby and I spent our first Christmas together as a married couple, was the giving of holiday treats to friends and families. This year, the tradition is being shared with our daughter. Continue reading
Winter Comforts: Soup
One of my favourite winter comfort foods is soup. Actually, I have to admit that soup is one of my favourite dishes no matter what the season. So, with a winter storm predicted to approach tomorrow, this rich and warm Gingered Butternut Squash Soup, really hits the spot. Continue reading
