Happy birthday Princess

"It's a girl" Those words forever changed my life. My initial reaction was complete disbelief. There are still moments when I look at my girl, in pink from head to toe and I still don't believe it. A girl! ***sigh*** ....A GIRL!!

12 months, 365 days, 8766.1536 hours ago my beautiful Marissa came into our lives. After only 1 year I am honoured to know her let alone to be her mother. Isn't she magnificent?



I hope you will always be the girl who dances to music - no matter the tune or who is around.

I hope you are the girl who laughs as quickly and as easily as you do now. Find the humour in everything.

I hope you always love your daddy and your brother as much as you do now.

I hope you know that being second does not mean last.

May you never doubt that I have enormous love for you.

Happy birthday my beautiful baby girl. XO

I have mad love for you

Five....that is how many Mothers Days I have had the honour of celebrating as a mom. This year will be the sixth.

I am so deeply and crazy in love with my children. The kind of love that only moms know. The kind you can't even begin to explain. It is simply pure, intense and unlimited. After I had Aiden I thought my heart was stretched to the end of the universe with this kind of love. Will there really be room in my heart for that kind of love for my 2nd child? Then Marissa was born and I now know my heart is capable of holding more....so much more. It is stretched to infinity and beyond with love for her.

This past year has been crazy and fuzzy as any mother will tell you the first year after giving birth. There were many days where I had no clue what I was doing and had moments when I felt worn out and was down for the count. Still, my worst day as a mom is a hundred times better than my best day before them.

Thank you, Aiden and Marissa, for letting me love you the way I do. All crazy and intense.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mommies out there who are celebrating their first, sixth or 25th year as a mom. Enjoy your day.

I love you mom!

And the first person voted off Survivor Island....

Aiden: Mom, if I was on Survivor I just know I'd be the first person voted off.

Me: Why do you think that?

Aiden: Because I'm smart, cute and fast. They know I'd win aaaaaallll the challenges and everyone would like me. Payton in my class thinks I'm really funny.

There is nothing wrong with my sons self esteem.
