Step 2: Reflect

I am going to use this entry to share my experience as a parent. This may differ from some others but I believe there are a lot of parents in similar boats so this post will either provide you with some understanding or you’ll find comfort in knowing you are not alone.  I have had…

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…

summer update

We just passed our four months officially living in Kitimat! I planned on blogging more once I got here but I share so many pictures on social media I feel people know what’s happening in our world without a blog. But lately I had a couple comments that make me think it’s time to provide…

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…

Here we go again…

It’s been a hot minute since I have been motivated enough to sit down and write a blog! Although.. I’m basically sitting 90% of the day but it’s been hard to get a good thought brewing to share! Before you get excited.. I don’t have much of a starting point right now, I just had…

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…
