Our Bugs Journey & the Woods
I have a confession to make: for the first time since I began my Happiness Project on February 1st, this months resolutions aren't working out so well. That's an understatement, actually...they're a huge flop!! Other than my resolution to continue my shopping ban, (which is very successful!), 2 of the other resolutions I only managed...

It was a gorgeous, clear, sunshiny morning here in Northern Manitoba. It actually felt....(dare I say it)...summery! (Don't worry, I knocked on the wooden table when I typed that out!) The warmth of the breeze, buds in full bloom on the trees in the forest just beyond our back yard, and coffee on the deck... Continue Reading →
It's so hard when our babies are sick. Mamas, dads, caregivers, you know what I'm saying... Many 3 year olds have the ability to verbally tell us (or even yell at us!) what's wrong, even with the smallest details such as "want BLUE cup, not green!!!". As annoying as that demanding behavior may seem at... Continue Reading →
I have come to love the end of each month; it's the time when I look back on my Happiness Resolutions from the previous month, reflect on my progress, and chart the next months path!! The feeling that you are growing as a person, and measuring that growth in a concrete manner, is quite motivational... Continue Reading →
It finally came...the phone call we had been waiting on for 3 desperately long months. The phone rang yesterday morning, & the caller ID said "Genetics". I was both deeply longing for, and simultaneously dreading that phone call. The results could either lift us up, or lower the boom. Have you ever felt both both... Continue Reading →
Today was one of those days; the kind where I am filled to the brim with hope for all that Evrett can achieve in life. Despite the rainy, windy, slightly chilly spring weather (which I actually love! The snow is almost gone, and our grass is already becoming green) keeping us indoors most of the... Continue Reading →
In a few days time, some of our beloved fam is coming to spend a few days with us. How blessed we are that they are travelling all the way up North here to see us, and we are so excited to spend some quality time with them again! Cody is so pumped, Scott &... Continue Reading →
Usually, when I write, I do so once I have already processed something. Even if it is a seemingly small step on the journey, I tend to wait to write until I have wrapped my mind around something, and come to terms with whatever it is. I'm not sure WHY my process has gone this... Continue Reading →
I woke up this morning to my stomach doing jumping jacks. Sounds a bit odd, I know, but there is no better way to describe it. (Anyone out there who has dealt with an anxiety disorder of some sort, or has experienced strong feelings of anxiety, will likely know exactly what I mean). It's as... Continue Reading →
Here we are. Already 1/4 of the way through 2018...can you believe that?! Even as I typed that sentence, I had to re-count the months in my head (and admittedly, out loud & on my fingers, like an elementary student might do) numerous times! I can hardly fathom how fast, and yet how dreadfully s-l-o-w,... Continue Reading →
