Goodbye Grade 1

Today is the last day of school for us, I don’t know if I should be happy or sad. She is such a happy little girl who is excited every day to go to school but it’s so hard for myself because I know the struggles that she’s up against that she is unable to…

A New Journey

How does a year go by so quick? I cannot believe we have been living in Kitimat as a family for over twelve months. Some months were slow but others flew right by. I was warned, boy I was warned, that the weather can get to you out here. I didn’t believe it! Initially I…

First Update

It’s been three weeks since we left our old home and I finally have some time to sit down by myself to reflect over what we have been going through and give everyone an update. Many people have been watching our social media and enjoying the scenery so let me share some stories to get…

How It’s Going..

This has been an emotional week; it took me three days to write my letter to Mackenzie because I kept crying and needed to take breaks and let everything soak in. The day that I finally posted the letter was her first day going to day care which caused a lot of emotions for me.…

Dear Daughter

I have so many thoughts this week I don’t even know where to start so I thought I would just get them all out and try to sort through them. Excitement - I am so excited for you little girl. I am excited that you are ready to take this big step and start kindergarten.…

Season Closure

Have you ever felt you have entered a season of closure? I feel it all around me. I see closure in so many different spaces, some big, some small. It’s like I’m going through a mental growth spurt and shaking off the past. I have closed down on some friendships, I have closed down on…

Entitlement

As promised, I had an idea for a blog the last time I wrote. Entitlement. Maybe it’s just me, but in my eyes, society has changed so much where people were once respectful to one another and worked to earn respect, to somehow now feeling they are deserving of special treatment or privileges, for literally…

My Covid Perspective Shift

This month I really had a change of perspective when it came to life, covid, working from home, this new normal.. (I’m honestly tired of hearing that term, “new normal”, this isn’t normal). If I thought there was a lot of negativity online a few months ago.. man, what a shock to see what it…

Warning: Religion

I didn’t grow up going to church, aside from life events and a few times with a friend when I was younger, I didn’t do it and never really had an interest in it. I didn’t know many people that actually went, I wasn’t forced to go, and I was happy about that. So, a…

Time

While we took possession of our new home the other day, we haven’t spent a night in it yet because my husband hasn’t been home from work. Tomorrow night he returns to me which makes tonight my last night here. I have spent ten years of my life walking through the same doors, going through…
