Conversation...

Me: Arthur, I want you to always stay little.

Arthur: No, I can't stay little. I have to turn 6 years old on my birthday.

Me: I know you'll be 6 but I want to slow down time so you'll always be my baby. It's a Mommy thing.

Arthur: But I'm not a baby. I'm a little boy. It's a boy thing.

Me: But when you get older, I hope you'll still want me around. I hope you'll still let me hug and kiss you all the time. Sometimes when little children get older, they prefer to hang out with their friends than their parents.

Arthur: Don't worry, Mommy. You can hug and kiss me all the time, even when I'm a big boy. And I'll tell my friends they have to like you because you make great hot-dogs and you make the best roast chicken ever. And sometimes you sing but I'll tell them they have to like you anyway.

Happy 6th Birthday Arthur!

This is me 6 years ago, I was 24 and 33 weeks pregnant. If I could go back in time I would tell my 24 years old self to relax and enjoy every moment that were coming to me as this would be the beginning of a beautiful journey.

After 3 miscarriages, I was finally about to become a mom.  I had given up hope; I thought that I was being punished by God for all my misbehavior in my past. Then when I decided that I wouldn’t try anymore, I got pregnant again… I made a promise to myself the day Arthur was born: that from now on I would be an example to him and that I would give up my old ways…

Dear Arthur,

You are 6 years old today and I can honestly say I did not see it coming.

You changed my life is so many ways and I thank God for the day he blessed me with this beautiful gift. You have made me a better person and we are so proud of whom you have become.

Love, Mommy

The truth: REVEALED! Tadadadam!!!!

Ken, you can do so much better!!!

Tuesday Humour...

A month a go, I wrote this post regarding a mom who pushed her little girl to hard for a beauty competition by injecting her botox. Then today I stumbled upon this video and I thought I would post it to give you guys a good laugh...

ENJOY!

What a Great Week-End!!!

I'll just say this:

- 3 days sans kids
- A house only with Other Half and me
- X-men First class movie
- Gym subscription for 2
- Pizza
- Chocolate mouse
- Waking up after 9 am

and for the rest, I leave it to your imagination... But I'll just say, if this was a movie, no under 18 people would be allowed! Oh yeah... It was that good.... Perfect bliss!!!!

Happy Father's Day!

I have said it many times, I love my life and there isn’t a day where I don’t feel blessed…

I owe my Other Half big time. I don't say it often enough but my Other Half goes above and beyond when it comes to helping me with the kids.

Sure, every time he runs off to work, there is a little skip in his step, as he anticipates to listening to what he darn wants on his car stereo in peace and quiet as he sits in rush hour traffic.

But when he comes home, literally from the minute he pulls up in the driveway, I do the hand off..."Yeah, Daddy's home! Mommy's off the clock!"

Some dads need a cool-down moment when they get home from work but Other Half knows that even if he demanded it, the kids would not give it to him.

He welcomes them with open arms, greeting them at the door with "Hey guys, I see you managed to keep your mother sane for another day!"

After dinner, on most nights, he'll rush them upstairs so I can either wash the dishes without 4 little hands clawing at me or sit down at the table and zone out on my laptop.

The song below did touch my heart because, it reminded me that reason I feel complete is because I accomplished one of my biggest wish: having a family of my own.

I am so grateful to my Other Half for sticking with me through the years… Not only is he a wonderful husband but he is also the one who made my life complete by giving me 2 beautiful children…

 

I tried to live this life on my own

But emptiness was beating down the door

Yea I rose up like a flood

Until my dying days were done

They are no more

Nothing makes sense without you

It's like waking up in the dark

I didn't have a song

Until you came along

Falling in love with you was easy

You were always mean to have my heart

I was broken all to pieces

You were there to be the missing part

And I never wanna go back

To the way things were before

You saved me and you made me yours

Happy Father’s day Oli, the kids and I love you more than words can say…

Letter to Morgane

Dear Morgane,

You are so adorable and I love spending time with you. But you seriously, you need to stop walking into my bedroom in the middle of the night and standing next to my bed, staring me down as I sleep. What are you thinking in your little head as you watch me sleep peacefully? Never mind, I don't need to know. Just please for the love God: stop doing it...it's creeping me out.

Love,

Mommy
