#Mamalife

Well it is officially September (what?!).

Everyone is scrambling to get one last bit of summer vacation this long weekend. If you are a mama with a child of school age, you know that August is not only the last month of vacation, it is also the month for back-to-school preparation.

There seems to be a baby surge in my group of friends lately! I thought I would send out a blog post to all you mamas and mamas-to-be to make you laugh (and possibly cringe). These comments were actually said to me either during my first pregnancy or my second with twins – no joke!

I went to the kitchen to get lunch ready and this is what I found waiting for me.

At our house, there is no shortage of stuffed animals. My little ones refer to them as “stuffies”. Sometimes, I wish I could hide them all because they just take over the home! But alas, I remember being a little one too.

Have you taken a ride? It’s a great way to see Old Montreal!

Think you can leave a child in this small pool? You are wrong.

It takes a second.

Are the the go-to mom when some child in the park needs a napkin or a Band-Aid?
Or are you the mom who is desperately asking someone else for help?

On my blog I write to you about “all things mama”. But as a freelance writer, I used to write so much about other people, other businesses, other companies. They didn’t always necessarily touch my heart. Starting this blog was the complete opposite of that. I write what is important to me the most: being a mama.

Friends, I cannot tell you how excited I am to participate in this great event again this year! I was so excited last year to post about The SugarShacks of Quebec since it is such a great Canadian heritage piece.
