Out of my head and onto your screen.
I knew that I would write something on October 15, 2020 (Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day) I just thought it would be a different kind of blog post. You see, after losing a pregnancy in July 2019, I became pregnant again, the same month I should have been due. It felt like it was... Continue Reading →
Motherhood has shaped me, changed me, tested my limits, and taught me lessons. I am so lucky (and it is luck) to have a healthy toddler to call me, Mom. This growing, beautiful babe, still feels very much a part of me, like my arms or my legs. She is my heart and soul (and... Continue Reading →
Repost: This blog post was written for and posted on AlbertaMamas.com By mom Elizabeth Tadman-Kickham I didn’t always dream about becoming a mom. Don’t get me wrong, I was excited to welcome my baby to the world, but I was also terrified to spend a year at home, alone with her. I knew I would... Continue Reading →

I definitely appreciate my mom even more than I already did, and I think you should too. This Mother's Day, tell your mom what she means to you and if you're not... Continue Reading →
Imagine after years of building your career that one day you're dropped into a brand new job in a completely different field, that you have no training for. In addition to having a surprise start date, the first day will be the most physically demanding feat you have ever attempted. There are no holidays, no... Continue Reading →
The first rule of a Mom's Facebook Group is that you can't talk about the Mom's Facebook Group, here's hoping I don't get kicked out. As a new mom I joined a number of local and national groups and let me tell you, the entertainment value is high. While there is a lot of practical... Continue Reading →
It's not like I was astonishingly cool before I had a baby but I certainly wasn't the top notch weirdo I am today. In all honesty, I'm not exactly sure how I pictured myself as a mother, I just know that I have started doing things I never thought I would. I use the phrase... Continue Reading →
