You were my yesterday; you are my today; you will be my tomorrow. Thank you for a great first year of marriage, Tim💖
——
It was mine and Tim’s anniversary yesterday, so in honour of that, we have made our wedding video public. You can find the link in my bio for your own viewing! It’s lengthy so grab some popcorn, lie back, and enjoy😊

My handsome little man is somehow two months old today!! I feel like I blinked and no longer had a newborn Michael but instead a learning, growing, active baby Michael took his place. On the bright side, he still LOVES his sleep! He’s already sleeping through the night and I cannot even express how happy I am. After Charlotte’s allergy to sleep, Michael’s love for it is such a breath of fresh air.
.
Michael enjoys smiling for his Daddy but really likes to make Mommy work for it. He loves watching his big sister build lego towers but gets scared when they fall. His absolute favourite pastime is talking to anyone who talks to him! He will coo for days if you let him!
.
This little guy is the happiest little cuddle bug and still so incredibly chill. He’s becoming a mommy’s boy and I am all for it!! He makes me smile everyday, and I am so immensely grateful I get to be his Momma❤️

Can you tell which one of us was trying to get Charlotte to look at the camera? It definitely wasn’t me- y’know, Charlotte’s mama😂
.
Seriously though, I’m so thankful my kids have such an attentive, caring, and loving aunt; not just to help with photos, but to be a friend for life for them!

I’m not picture ready- my hair is greasy and my shirt is more spit-up and drool than actual shirt. But, when they both fall asleep on you, you have to document it, despite how “unready” you feel💖
.
I love nothing more than the fact that these two feel so comfortable and safe in my arms that they can sleep easily and peacefully in them. My only wish is to provide these feelings of safety and comfort to them for as long as I live. If I can do that, I have done enough.

We had our first snowfall of the season this morning, so I thought I would share this little #Throwback of Charlotte and I at the end of last winters’ season! 💙 Can you believe this little chunk is now an amazing big sister??

We like to say he’s the “Mini Boss”, but who are we kidding - he’s THE boss. No one dictates our day more than this guy.

He’s hungry but we are on our way out the door? I guess we will be late- time to feed!

We are trying to eat dinner but he just had a massive blow out and now needs a bath? Our food can wait!

He needs rocking to sleep but Mommy wants to vacuum the living room? Those dust mites are our new roommates!

They don’t really warn you about how much you have to give up as a Mom, and sometimes it’s a challenge, but there is no one I’d rather give up anything for. ❤️

When Auntie Lauren suggested yesterday to go to her house to rake all the leaves into a pile and throw Charlotte into it, I hesitantly agreed. Charlotte is SUPER particular about what touches her and absolutely HATES being dirty.

We once went to a dirt playground and after each movement she made, she would say “oh no” as she noticed the dirt sticking to her and wouldn’t move again until I wiped it off😂 She’s definitely my child.

Both Lauren and I had a feeling we were going to rake up all the leaves, try to get Charlotte interested in them, only to have her throw a fit and demand to leave the vicinity... But it was nothing like that - She actually jumped into the pile herself!!!! She had so much fun playing and didn’t even care that leaves were sticking to her!

And if you’ve seen my story today - she’s been obsessed with leaves ever since! Swipe to see the pure excitement on Charlotte’s face🥰
