Motherhood Right Now

Motherhood is amazing. Watching Lily grow and learn new things is magical. Hearing her little baby giggles. Feeling her soft, round cheek on my lips as I give her tens and hundreds of kisses.

My Favourite Moments of Summer 2016

A Puppy, Some Pizza and a New Phone

Another weekend has come and gone! This weekend brought with it the return of our lovely summer weather, at least on Sunday. It was nice to be able to enjoy some time outside again after a pretty dreary week! On Friday, my sister and her boyfriend came back from their three month long trip, and…
