Catching Up on Sleep*
Remember that happy place I was in after family reunion on Saturday? When I was so excited to go back and see my family / eat more food again the next day? Ugh. When we got home after the reunion, Ruby was tired out. We played quietly for a little while, then she crashed at 8:30 and went out like a light. She didn’t make a peep. Until 2am. When she woke up and decided she was ready to do family reunion all over again. Normally when she wakes up at night I just keep all the lights off and let her play quietly in her bed until she goes…

Right now I’m sitting in my parent’s living room, curled up in their big arm chair after a very busy day.

I’m not exactly sure how it started, but we loved apple time, and I’m pretty sure that it ignited my love for apples… which are still my favourite fruit. That being said, I’m a bit weird when it comes to apples. I…

Where I’ve Been*
So, it’s been a while. It’s been a wild few months and I was never able to achieve that much coveted balance between work / home / family / blog that I so wanted. For a while there I thought (again) that maybe it was time to close up shop here for good. But even as I entertained that thought for a moment, I knew I couldn’t possibly say goodbye to this little place that has been my home for so many years. At least not yet. I have now been finished work for three weeks, and I am only now just beginning to feel like my old self again.…
