COME SAY HI

No one invades my personal space more. Or demands

No one invades my personal space more. Or demands more of me. Or makes me loose my cool like these humans.
No one loves me like them, no one fills my heart as much or teaches me about so many things. I love them beyond anything I can adequately express. It is my honour and privilege to help them navigate the trials and experiences of mortal life.
Motherhood is no joke. It’s hard, demanding and exhausting.
Often the things that demand the most of us give us the most reward.
Being a mother is absolute proof of this.
Motherhood has taught me more about forgiveness, kindness, patience, trust, faith than anything else could. I am so grateful for my own mother and all she has done for me. I’m grateful for my mother in law , my grandmothers. All the women who have stepped in and mothered me when I needed it. I am better because of them. And I am better because of my opportunity to mother others.

And because it is impossible to get a photo I shared a few real treasures 😂😂😂 Eli’s sacrifice is the biggest for a nice photo apparently.

Cheesecake. How do you feel about it? I love it,

Cheesecake.
How do you feel about it? I love it, but I can’t each much of it. This one has a special crust made with biscoff cookies.
I was remembering the time we hosted a big cheesecake gathering at my house. Lots of cheesecake brought and lots was eaten. It was tons of fun to gather and enjoy. Its an easy way to plan a gathering is to pick something and build around it. Like cheesecake.
Wouldn’t you enjoy an evening hanging onto with other women friends, conversation and something tasty like cheesecake?

5 things on Friday.
1. I’m not pumped about online school again. It definitely was not the Mother’s Day gift I was hoping for.
2. These are another new recipe. I think they’re called Sugar a twist or sugar crisp. Although my kids informed me that I can’t use sugar crisp because of the cereal.
3. I kinda love rainy days. They remind me of when we lived in Nova Scotia and experienced the Maritimes. ❤️
4. I have a recipe called the fluffiest buns in the world. Cause they are literally the fluffiest buns in the world. 😂 My kids have been saying “wow, you have fluffy buns” a lot.
5. I’m trying to sell off my stock of the @aworldwidesisterhood books o have left. So if you’re local and you want one, let me know. I’m selling them for $20. (I have a list of people and I’ve gotten about half of them delivered so far.)
Happy Friday.
What are you thinking about this weekend?

Involving your kids in work is another way to gath

Involving your kids in work is another way to gather them. Having kids participate in work teaches them many great things: confidence, life skills, gives opportunities to bond and others. Their lives are better when we make work a part of it.
But it’s often a painful way to gather your kids because it invites conflict. Should we avoid it because it invites conflict? I don’t think so.
Parenting involves course correction as well as being the next cheering section.
Conflict can sometimes help lead us to positive conversations when we handle it kindly. It’s hard, when a child is wining about helping with the garden or the dishes. With some kids it’s constant conflict when work is involved. Whenever a kid asks to help in the kitchen I say yes. Some days it means it makes the job take longer. But that’s how letting kids participate works. It gives me the opportunity to slow down and chat while we work together. Some days I’m impatient and I just want to rush through things but it’s always a good benefit to us all to slow down and work together.
My parents gathered us with work a lot as kids. I’m grateful for all the skills I learn, the confidence I gained and the connection it fostered. My life is better because they had the patience to gather me with work. I’m trying to do the same. Some days I do a good job, other days I’m glad I get the chance to try again. #gatheryourkids

“The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.” - Marjorie Pay Hinckley.
I’m choosing happiness. Some days it’s hard, but it matters. Yesterday my kids hilarious banter made me giggle. Tell me something small that made you happy lately!!
