Now we are three

There was a time when Ian & I didn’t have a TV. And a time where we didn’t have cable. Now we have it all, but we mostly just watch HD sports or maybe a movie now and again. We don’t really have a favourite show (although I have to admit I do enjoy [...]

Working in the healthcare industry, I am always drawn to articles and studies that involve drugs or diseases, etc. Here’s one that says if you have migraines you are less likely to get breast cancer.

I can’t believe it’s been 6+ weeks since I gave birth to Amelia. Seems like eons ago, and yet at the same time it does not seem like it can possibly have been that long. She has changed so much in such a short span, growing and developing into her own little person.

So today was my first “vacation” day before maternity leave starts (when I sign up with the Quebec govenment and get paid part of my salary for a year). I had six days saved up, and since our last vacation was skiing in Banff for a week, not having anything to do or anywhere to [...]

I spent Saturday doing baby errands. It is amazing how easy it is to spend money on cute baby things. We did the tour of a bunch of baby stores in Montreal including bummis and rose ou bleu. We also visited some health food stores in search of the german-made biodegradable diapers and baby shampoo, [...]

I’m pretty sure this is not the type of thing the guy who wrote the The Parent’s Tao Te Ching had in mind, but it recently came up in discussion and so I had to go back and watch it again. If you are a hockey fan and haven’t seen Chris Chelios talk about his [...]
