How Much Clothes Does A Child Need?

If there's one good thing that came out of dealing with lice a few weeks ago, it's that it allowed us to realize that our children have an insane amount of clothing. Quite honestly, we kind of went crazy and washed literally every piece of clothing that they own whether dirty or clean. No drawer…

A Girls Day Out

Yesterday was quite a big day. It was Amélie's kindergarten visit.  I dropped Elliot and Adrien at daycare (it was his first time at daycare) early in the morning so that I could be at the visit with my daughter for 8:30. There were so many emotions.  She was shy, happy, excited, a bit anxious,…

The Boy Who Likes Nail Polish

Well guys, it happened. Almost two years day for day, I wrote a post about how Charles enjoyed "girl" stuff.  This is how it ended: I love the fact that Charles is still young enough to not even be aware that any stereotypes exist. In his mind, boys can love pink and nail polish and…

Potty Training? Here’s What to Expect!

As you all know, I have four children.  Being that Charles is 6, Amélie is 4, Elliot is 2 and Adrien is 7 months old, the past 6 years of my life have been filled with diapers, tantrums and potty training.

Let’s Talk About…Postpartum Sex

Can I be honest with you all?  I've been struggling with sex ever since I gave birth to Charles a little over six years ago.  While I'm certain I'm not the only one, I thought I'd share my own struggles and partial solutions with you. Holding me back When I think about it, there are…

Little Humans, Big Questions: Gender Identity

A few day ago, my daughter was colouring.  When she was done, she came to show me her work and proudly announced that she had coloured it for "C".  I praised her for her work and asked if she was proud of it like I always do, but at the same time, the wheels in…
