Motherhood.

The reality:

Linked up with Memories Captured.

***

Next Monday, April 23rd, Be Enough Me is taking on the topic of labels with a special prompt inspired by Ashely Judd, called Change the Conversation.

What is your label | Just.Be.Enough.

It’s time to look past the obvious.

We’re inviting posts from voices everywhere to share your labels and who you are beyond that. The focus is whatever you need it to be – from our lives as moms, dads, parents, spouses, professionals, survivors, athletes and more. We invite you to join us, to celebrate our strengths, to celebrate our diversity, to celebrate our voices and change the conversation.

Join us on Just.Be.Enough next Monday for the very special link-up. We can’t wait to take the conversation by storm with our voices.

Bunnies & Lambs & Chocolate, Oh My!

In the place where Willow sleeps

When I was growing up, we had a tradition at Easter. My parents would put together a scavenger hunt for us to find our chocolate.

High in a tree where the birds find seeds

We looked forward to this every year – the four of us gathered around the slips of paper to see who could guess the location of the next clue. [Read more…]

Scenes from Sunday

January 31, 2012 by ·

A wordless meme is just the thing as I wait for the words to be free.

On Sunday we went to the Ice Magic Festival. It was a rough day with the toddler, but the scenery was quite magical. See?

He liked skating, and I think he thought the ice castle was pretty cool, but the impromptu ice slide was his favourite. Can you blame him? He is three, after all.

Happy (mostly wordless) Wednesday.

A Successful Ski Trip

January 24, 2012 by ·

So we did it. We went skiing and no one broke a leg. We all had a blast, including (perhaps especially) the toddler. Photographic evidence:

 

It takes a few people to get a kid onto skis for the first time.

But we did it! Doesn’t he look proud?

Going up the lift with Uncle Greggy.
(This requires a lot of concentrating on one’s feet, apparently.)

Here he comes!
“Let’s go again!” (and again and again and again…)

The big kids did a few big-kid runs too.

Turn the camera around. (Ah, that’s better.) The view from the top of the hill.

Most excellent fun. We’ll definitely do it again.

PS I forgot to tell you! I’m a finalist for a Canadian Weblog Award in the Health & Wellness category. Blimey! How cool is that?
