little teacher, big lesson

Bresho is usually shy around new people. He is the kind of kid that takes a while to warm up in new places. Ku and I know this very well so we are patient with him and try to make him feel comfortabl...

live and let live

It has been brought to my attention (twice) (by the same person) that my last blog post comes across as offensive to big blogs (or blogs that have “taken off”). This is: a) hilarious beca...

you, my blog, and i

SO. It looks like my blog has gone from neglected to, um… oblivion. My days go by without me even thinking about my blog. Worse. They seem to go by one after the other without me thinking that ...

balloomps!

I surprised Bresho with balloons on his birthday after school and asked him where he wanted to go. One of his favourite places to hang out is the lake so off we went to play with our balloons. He was...

three!

Happy birthday, Bresho! These three years have been, by far, the best years of my life. You bring me happiness, joy, and hope. You inspire me every day and make my world a wonderful place. I feel ble...

this one routine

As you might know already, we are not a family who sticks to routines. Ku is much more inclined to plan ahead and know what’s going to happen when, but routines make me feel kind of uptight. To...

5 things that made me smile last week

I am working on my thesis pretty much every minute I am not looking after my little man. That, plus all the items on my to-do list, make time fly and make me feel like I am getting nothing done (I ha...

his love for bob marley

If you have been reading us for a while, you are probably aware of Bresho’s obsession with Bob Marley. It started very casually when he was 23-24 months. I played a Bob Marley song on youtube o...

quality time

Ku went away to ski with some friends so Bresho and I were alone all weekend. It was strange not to have Ku around, but Bresho and I had a lot of time to bond since I decided not to work and just enj...

5 things that made me smile this week

This week went by like a flash! I have a little too many things on my plate right now and feel like I didn’t even take a minute to relax. Working/studying from home with a little person to look...

mailboy birthday party

It’s that time of the year! Bresho will be turning THREE in less than a month. It feels absolutely surreal to me that he will be three. I still see him as my baby half of the time, but then aga...

toddler quotes

This little man of mine! He says the funniest things. I am loving this stage because he can express himself unabashedly and a bit incoherently. My type of conversation. I’ve heard this lately: ...

i’m alive

We were all feeling fine and healthy for a total of um, three minutes. Bresho got sick. Again. He got an ear infection. Again. In both ears. Yikes! He woke up crying in the middle of the night last T...

Lately

Happy Monday! We are all feeling much much better. I hope it lasts as it seems we have been up and down for the past few weeks. Fingers crossed! I am super behind on my school work and haven’t ...

In shambles

We are going through a rough patch! I got food poisoning again last Sunday and had a tough week. Bresho got a cold and then I got the flu. Basically, we are in shambles!   We all had to go to th...

montessori inspired: d.i.y sandpaper numbers

Bresho is now very comfortable with pouring and transferring, the last Montessori activities I blogged about (here). Alongside his fine-motor development, we have also been working on numbers and let...

5 things that made me smile last week

I’ve been M.I.A the past few days because my laptop’s battery broke so I now seem to have a desktop. I don’t know why this means I haven’t blogged, though, but it does. SO. Ho...

sleeping in

Ku went back to work on Monday so our “routine” resumed at home. I’ve been meaning to blog about our morning routine and it wasn’t until Ku went back to work that I realized I...

2011 in photos: part two

This is part two of our month-by-month recap of 2011 (a bit late due to food poisoning on NYE which has still not disappeared completely). The second part of 2011 was very exciting for us (which migh...

2011 in photos: part one

2011 was a great year. There were highs and lows, but we managed to do all the things we love (and some more). Big things happened to us this year, but we also made an effort to appreciate the small ...

merry little man

Bresho got all he wanted for Christmas: he is now one step closer to being Bob Marley. We are now on the hunt for a guitar instructor who will take children under 3.5. No luck thus far. I hope you ar...

5 things that made me smile this week

{the merriest corner in our house} Whoa. I made it to the end of the week! Didn’t think I would. This week was stressful and I cannot even start to think that Christmas is tomorrow (we celebrat...

lunch date

I hosted a little lunch date at my house last Friday with some lovely ladies and some cute kiddos. The photo above? Bresho having a little mini lunch date with his friend Annika. How cute is that? It...

5 things that made me smile this week

letters to bresho: love

I love you. I love it when you wake me up in the mornings by getting your face really close to mine and saying “MOMMY!”. I love it when you tell me “No, mommy, YOU are the sweetest!...

This is actually a polaroid of my parents the day of my baptism. I love everything about it. My mom is totally rocking the matchy-matchy look with those pink tights and her pink dress and my dad look...

will miss the olden days

The storm is over. Seriously. What a disaster. Our internet went missing for a week and oh, man, if I told you all the things that we had to do to get it back (I won’t because: Zzzz). And by &#...

one grumpy wise man

Bresho had his school’s Christmas concert last Saturday. It was a big deal for him. They have been practicing the songs for months and he knows all the lyrics. Bresho likes performing. He sings...

back from nowhere

Let’s pretend you noticed I was gone from the interwebs for four days. There is really no way you could have noticed this since my internet presence is very, um, patchy? inconsistent? absent? S...

5 things that made me smile this week (thriftstore version)

I had to make an emergency appointment with the dentist on Thursday because my gums were swollen and one tooth was bothering me. I am taking antibiotics and have to go in every three months for clean...
