It didn't come as a total shock. When you chose to venture into the world of media, you know the business is volatile. One day you're in; the next day, you're out. Most people with long careers in this field have faced layoffs at some point. However, you go into the next job knowing how... Continue Reading →
Mom Log – Part 8: If Life is a Highway…
Life is a highway and I wanna ride it all night long... Sorry for the earworm but this sentence has popped to mind every time I thought to myself "Oh man! I need to finish that next blog post". I've been saying it for the last year now and funny enough, most often while driving... Continue Reading →
Mom Log – Part 7: Three Tiny Words
I love you... Soon! I could not get myself to say those three tiny words just yet... I would walk around the house, with this new baby in my arms and I would say "I love you!!! ARGH... SOON!!! I can't lie... I don't love you yet, but I promise that I will love you... Continue Reading →
Mom Log – Part 6: Thank you John Wayne!
It’s been quite the last few years! I’ve wanted kids for so long.

Mom Log – Part 2: Reality Check!
Next week, I turn 43… Only a few days and I will be the age my boyfriend’s mothers was when she passed away… she died so young, but so accomplished as a mom. She was 43 and Alex was 18. Her children were young adults, but I am sure she felt like she did not... Continue Reading →
Mom log: Part 1 – An Adventure Begins!
It’s been quite the ride already and the adventure has just started… what a week “week one” has been! I was told that one is never truly prepared to be a parent, but for most, you would have had nine months and then so many more to prepare for what we’ve just experience in our... Continue Reading →
Let’s Make A Baby: Part 27 – A shinny new title!
A shinny new title will be needed for this blog. As you may have already read in my last post, I’ve turned a page. I had a major decision to make. It had been more than a year since my 2019 embryo transfer and I was now eligible to apply to the Banques Mixtes du... Continue Reading →
