The time has come to say Goodbye to London. This past week has been quite overwhelming with the stress of packing and the emotions of final farewells. I am feeling quite sad to be leaving this vibrant City that has just started to feel like home. I think I am also feeling this way because… Continue reading Cheerio, London!
William’s Eleven Month Update
Little William James is more appropriately named Big William James now as he is growing like a weed and off the charts in terms of height and weight. He towers over his little buddies at playgroup, but I guess that is to be expected with Mike’s height. I think William will just transition from commando… Continue reading William’s Eleven Month Update
Public Transportation with a Baby
If you have been following along over the past year, you can see that we have done a lot of traveling. I was asked to participate in a Traveling Parents’ Forum to share any tips I have. On the third Monday of each month, we will discuss a topic related to traveling with children. You… Continue reading Public Transportation with a Baby
Gran Canaria

Mike had never been on a cruise and we thought it might be a good way to see some of the Mediterranean without having… Continue reading Mediterranean Cruise
William’s Ten Month Update
My update is a little late this month because this 10 month old has been sipping piña coladas poolside and spending too much time at the all you can eat buffet. Wait, maybe that was me, but William enjoyed our little holiday too!
Cambridge
William and I had the opportunity to head out to Cambridge for the day to visit my friend, Krista, and her new little baby. Another friend introduced me to her because she was originally from Edmonton and moved to the UK a number of years ago. We met up in Edmonton while she was visiting… Continue reading Cambridge
Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!
We were lucky enough to almost have two turkey dinners when we visited Edmonton in August because both of our moms wanted to make one for us. In order to avoid eating turkey for days on end, we let Mike’s mom off the hook and just my mom made one. Therefore, I didn’t feel too… Continue reading Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!
