As most of you may be aware, I have reached a big milestone recently: I now have over 1000 followers on Twitter! I am so thrilled about this milestone and even more thrilled that I am able to offer you, my fabulous blog readers and tweeps, a great giveaway!

The first real snow fall of the season – my children were over the moon with excitement! And so was I!

Today I want to address something that I never have on my blog, but that many mamas have had to face. I have much to say about this topic so more posts will be coming soon, but first I want to acknowledge the issue. Since today is World Premature Day, I thought it was important to acknowledge a very real truth: premature births are hard. There, I said it. I never have, but it is very true.

We were all disappointed to see one of our biggest trees get chopped down.

So here I am, coming to the close of one year of blogging.
My first post was brief and shy, (To The Future) who knew this blog would blossom into THIS?!

Canada in the fall.
It’s a beautiful thing.

The initial rush of getting back in order for a new school year has slightly subsided for most families and now the groove has set in. And before the fall season changes (ever so drastically) to winter (bite my tongue), I encourage everyone to get your families out for some fall fun.
