There are so many terms which have popped up into everyday conversation since I was parenting my littles, one that my therapist throws in a lot is 'emotional regulation'. I had never heard this term when I was a mom of little kids and I lived in LA and went to a million kids classes …
My kids cannot believe that I can tolerate animals in my environment, much less sleeping in the bed with me. I have always been incredibly OCD, in particular about germs. I still am a germ avoider where I can be but I do not stress out about their mess any longer. Usually. Norm arrived back …
We had such an amazing holiday with my mom in the US. The weather was mild and there was not much rain and we spent most of the time just hanging out together, but I also got to see a lot of family and friends. We arrived on Friday the 15th of December which was …
Last weekend was such a lovely vibe, starting so fabulously with the Organic Magic Project Event on Friday. Then on Saturday Norm drove me out to Scarborough to say goodbye to Tass my beloved teacher. Norm is always willing to be my transport as he knows how driving makes me so anxious but he is …

In my last post I mentioned our new Social Club and how excited I was about it. We met on last Saturday afternoon and I arrived a bit after 1pm as we had to stop and pick up snacks at the shop. I always like to take something gluten free just in case. I had …
This has been such an amazing week and it feels like a month since I posted! On last Friday afternoon Caitlin collected me and we set off on the 450 km / 276 mile journey down to the Garden Route which usually takes about 5 hours on average to drive, factoring in at least one …
