September 2016 Review

Wow I can't believe it's been this long and I haven't updated you guys on whats been going on. Although not much we have been through two months.

September 2016

6th- OMG! The first day of school for the girls and the first day for my job as a crossing guard. So excited and so are the girls... DD#3 starts her first year of JK (if you're reading from another country... here in Canada, once you reach the age of 4 you start Grade school. We start two years of Kindergarten first JK and Then SK and then go in to Gr. 1), She is just so ready other then the potty training that has not happened, thank goodness for the school that has agreed to take her with being in diapers - well pull ups -.


1st- KITTENS!! We had kittens...again!! Yup.. we didn't know our cat was pregnant again and we definitely didn't realize that our male got her before getting fixed. I was kinda annoyed but excited. Believe me I love my animals but being pregnant and taking care of 3 kids and 3 cats and a dog fulltime plus chickens is a lot of work. We love having animals of all different shorts but when you add more to the count it makes more work and takes more time. She did have a litter of 3 but unfortunately it being the long weekend we came back to having one kitten who had past away. She ended up with one male and one female in the end. We had some worry about the female because she had "frog legs" she wasnt able to walk with them but over the period of October she has greatly improved. The male however has been amazing. Very independent and very strong willed.

Around the same time we also put our beloved trailer up for sale. Yes I have a post if you're wondering what it looks like see May 2016 Recap but we decided that the park was just not meant for us as there was not a lot of things for our kids to do and we were tired of the drama.  We are planning on possibly getting another day the road after baby but right now we are happy with our decision to sell.

21st- I have my 16 week ultrasound today and we are hoping find out the gender today but little one had other plans had decided to cross their legs and put their foot under their butt.. It was actually quiet funny.. already being like their mother. I can't not wait to find out though. I was a trying to keep it a surprise but being a mother of 3 I feel like I need to know, it's hard finding gender neutral clothing.

28th- Attended and joined the Parent Council today. I am not officially the treasurer of my girls school. Kinda Nervous and exciting but definitely getting out of my comfort level.

29th-Oct1st- We decided to take a small family Vacation to our favourite place Niagara Falls.. This time we stayed at the Skyline Inn. I made a post review on Facebook about our stay which was great. Also, we decided to go to the Fallsview Waterpark. Absolutely worth every penny. We loved it. The girls had a blast and weren't bored and to be honest we really didn't miss the usually riding around town, boat riding type of visit. We did visit the arcade in the Sheridan this time which is right across the street - well behind the casino - . If you're planning a visit definitely look at this hotel!!


Other then these updates not much has gone on for September. Please stay tune for October's update next week. Leave a comment, let me know that you've been here and if you have a blog or a vlog.

Twelve Week Ultrasound

Monday morning was probably the worst morning I have ever had. I hardly slept the night before. - If you haven't already and would like to here is the link to my direct miscarriage story last year.Now once you read that you'll understand exactly where I am coming from or you may have done through this yourself.

Anyway, as I was saying I was extremely nervous, my aniexty was in full force and I was just wanting to get the ultrasound over with.  We arrived at the hospital for our appointment (DH came with) and we checked in. Once checked in you're asked to wait in the waiting room with other VERY pregnant women and in my head I was thinking, oh how I wish I didn't have to worry about anything and I want to just get there and be that big and out of breath and be able to feel my baby move. I couldn't talk to anyone, I couldn't think. It was an insane feeling for me. I have never been this way in any pregnancy but since my losses it has been hard. It felt like I was in a bad dream and it was never going to end.

We waited for a good hour before the one tech called me in and she wasn't like the last tech I had for my first ultrasound at the hospital. She was professional and kinda rude - Rant: which honestly I don't understand. If you're going to work with people who are pregnant and you're going to be in kinda personal space then i think you should be somewhat of a professional but also a people person. There is no reason be rude. End of Rant - she told me to lay on the bed and put my end at the very top and lay still so, I did just that. She told me to relax and i told her that all I wanted to know was if there was a heartbeat or not. She said how come and I said that I had a miscarriage last year at 12 weeks and just was going nuts. She started ultrasound and the only thing she said to me was you have a jumping bean with a great heartbeat.

The feeling of relief is unreal. I don't even know how to explain the feeling that came over me in the moment. My emotions were all over the place, I felt like I could just cry tears of joy in that moment but I also wanted to scream with happiness and thank the lord for allowing me to carry a child again.

Anyway the appointment went. Doctor said that everything is great. Baby has no sign of down syndrome at this point and I go back for my next appointment on September 21st.

I announced out pregnancy to Facebook world yesterday and I was overly excited to share the news. I know that this will have a great outcome and I am so very thankful for this baby.

Potty Training A 4 Year Old

Now I am not an expert at all in this territory believe with two already out diapers 8 and 6, I vaguely remember Potty Training my first child, although I do remember what happened with DD#2. She was 3 and I did the shirt with nothing else on method. We had a week and I was confident she was ready. So out we went to Wal-Mart and bought her underwear that she picked and if I remember correctly they were Strawberry shortcake. The first day she worn nothing and had maybe 1 accident, every time she would go I would do a huge celebration, dance and give her a prize... Candy! The second day she had no accidents and I was oh this is a piece of cake, she is the easiest I have ever had to train and She is going to be potty trained no problem and thats what happen by the third she would go when she needed to and she started wearing underwear and had no accidents what so ever. So Day 4 we decided that we needed to go shopping well heres where it got interesting. She wouldn't tell me when she had to go and now most people would put a diaper on their kid but me I put underwear and pair of pants (of course) and brought two extra sets (I also brought diapers just incase i ran out). Now she only had one accident and that was because she couldn't hold her pee and we made to the toilet but in time for her to take her pants to pee. So technically speaking she did go in the toilet but we had to clean it up and change out pants and underwear and continue shopping. The next few days were great until we got to the weekend. She decided she want to regress and wanted to become a baby again and wear diapers. Wanted nothing to do with the underwear and the process of going to the potty. I was upset, I thought that she had it under control and there would be no diapers and we would only have to buy one set of diapers for DD#3 but I was wrong. So, she went back into diapers. Now through the week I had her in a diaper at night so that didn't change. I felt that maybe she had been a bit rushed and now she didn't have the confidence she needed. So I allowed to have her diapers and when was comfortable about a week later I found her one night with her diaper off and sleeping. Now I wanted to put the diaper back on back she was so awkwardly position I left her. I felt that if she wanted to have it on she would. The next morning she put her underwear after peeing and when I checked her bed, it was dry. From this point on she was done. Potty trained Ready to go. I was in shock. It was a proud day in our household and we definitely celebrated by going to the Dollarama and going to Wal-mart and buying some more underwear.
                                                                                                                                                      

Moving on to today... for DD#3 she is currently 4 and few months and I have tried to potty her in the past and failed. She was doing great and then regressed for a long time. So, now there is reward there is the reminder. I am not going to reward my child for something that I know she knows how to do. She is lazy and would rather wear pull-ups. So, we are now officially into day #2 and so far Day 1 we had 2 accidents and that was it. She knows when she has to go. She has also gone poop twice. So I would say that Day 1 was a huge success!! Lets see how Day 2 goes... I will update you all tomorrow!!

Update... It's Been To Long!

Hey everyone,


I know I haven't been around much in the past two months and I apologize. I mean I do have a valid explanation for it... Its a practical one. Really...

First the girls finished school and started camp and it was an awesome 6 weeks... wrong.. it was alright for the first two and then I got the call that would make any parent cringe, CAS wanted to make a visit Why!? You ask well here is what happen: I set my girls to school and DD#1 has Autism and ADHD, well she is a special one I tell ya, she decided to mention she was hungry, my kids HATE breakfast in the morning so I send them with extra snacks to get them through the day. Anyway, as I was saying, she mention she was angry to one of her Camp Leaders and that Camp Leader i guess had a problem with the way she dressed, mind you I don't send my kids in rags, but she did and then she came to the conclusion we had no food in our home and we were starving our kids. Well let me tell you when I got this call how LIVID I was. It was like seriously, she is always hungry and she never stops eating...if I don't put my foot down she would eat me out of house and home but really I was crazy mad and I went picked up my girls from Camp and got a hold of the principle running it and she was like "I am so sorry, the call was made before I could explain to the girl about Hailie." the principle knows my girls very well, we have a great relationship. Anyway they came and did there investigation and this girl seemed genuine. I mean we believed her when she said that she didn't have any concerns and everything was great at home and that there may be a few things we need to fix... like our mattress is on the floor with our a bed frame because it broke and we aren't sleeping on it but for reasons I had to split up my girls sleeping arrangements so, because DD#1 is sleeping on our mattress in our room we need to get another bed frame. Anyway, after two weeks and the annoyance of this girl just trying to find something wrong with our parenting, she finally closed the file. That was a great sigh of relief... I tell ya this parenting thing is not easy but we try our best!

Moving On......

So, that was one of the reasons I haven't been around for the last 2 months. You see it's time for a fertility update:

So, as I started in my last update May Recap, I updated you regarding my cycle.. well May 30th they started me on CD3 and on my Femara 5mg for cycles day 3-7. I went back June 9th to measure my follicles and to my surprise 1.7 and 1.9cm. I was thrilled. They told me I should ovulate within the next few days. Well I did the next day June 10th I ovulated!! OMG!! I was thrilled. Of course we BD and I took an easy the rest of the weekend but it was great to know that this could be it. I tested the next day and knew my TWW was starting and I was scared and nervous but I knew that if it was meant to happen it would. Well I am proud to say that June 21st 11dpo I found out we were expecting out RAINBOW baby and I was ecstatic. We are currently 11 weeks and I am finally almost over the horrible morning sickness... I can't eat dairy, meat or anything else that smells except for pickles!!

May 2016 Recap

Ok so I know that it has been a while since my last post and I sincerely apologize but it has been a really busy month. As you know I left off with the trailer needing some work and it got done! I am so happy with how it all turned out.  So, here is an update for everything that happened in May.

Trailer AFTER Photo :) 

We finished painting the trailer! No more pukey yellow. I couldn't stand it. I love this settle grey colour that, yes I picked out. It makes it look so much bigger and I love the shock of people that had seen it before coming in and are just blow away!!


We still have some things left to do, the backsplash in the kitchen being one. We haven't decided if we're changing the counter tops or not. I think with the colour it looks really good. We also got Tv and internet working, which I love! It's not the greatest speed but it will definitely do. 

Question: Where you do like to go for your Holidays? Comment Below.

May the 4th be with you!!

May 4th, 2016 is Star Wars Day & We had kittens, and this time I was helping her with the birth. It was very awkward. So, I am sitting there eating with my youngest daughter and Cupcake comes up to me and she's whining. I thought she wanted water so, I got up and saw that it was empty, opps! So, I filled it and went back to eating my lunch. She came back. This time she was louder and I thought I saw something sticking out of her so I went to check and guys let me tell you, she was soaked because her water and broken and I touched it! EWWW!!! 😳😖 Anyway, all the babies were born healthy and we got a surprise she ended up having 4 and then she had one in the wee morning of May 5th, now we have 5!! 😻

May 4th, 2016
1st picture is 4 just moments after birth! 2nd picture is all 5, May 5th and the last picture was taken at 5 days old.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! 

-----------------------------------------------------------

TTC update:


So, in my last blog I had left you with me taking Provera. I ended up getting my period after 3 days of finishing the medication on May 13th, I took Femara CD3-7 2.5mg to help with ovulation. I went in to my doctors for blood work and ultrasound on CD12 and had 1 follicle on my right ovary that measured 1cm and my lining was 6.9. The blood work was any better but we were hopefully and we were instruction to BD on Saturday. I then went in this past Tuesday CD19 (June 30th), to find out that my follicle had shrunk to 0.9 and lining was only 7.3 which means I never ovulated. So, now they started me again on Femara and CD19 turned into CD3 and I am taking 5mg instead of 2.5mg. I am hoping that this is our cycle, and that the medication works. I plan on using Pre-seed and the Diva Cup for a better outcome but first I have to have the eggs first right. 

Question:What did you do to help to produce good eggs? Comment Below!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Family update:


We are MOVING!! We found a really nice older house right by the kids school and the backyard is huge. I will have picture shortly after we are settle in. I am kinda sad leaving this place behind, we have some bad memories here but we also have a lot of good. 



So, there you have it. Everything that has happened for May. I can't believe it is June already. I hope you enjoy reading my post and please comment below. I would love to know some answers.

April 2016 Recap

Apr. 8th, 2016:

Today we had out appointment with our Fertility Specialist and a plan was laid out. We did Kerotyping/Chromosome testing so, as long as everything comes back normal, the plan is as follows:

Start Preg-vit and Baby Aspirin ASAP
  • CD1:    Call in and book blood work and ultrasound for CD3
  • CD3:    Hormone Blood Work and Ultrasound, plus start Femara. 
  • CD3-7: Femara 
  • CD7:    Start testing for ovulation 
  • CD10:  Ultrasound 
Ovulation Cycle Day?? and then on CD21 we start Provera internally as precaution and help the embryo to attach properly to my Lining and testing at 12DPO.

If the first cycle fails next cycle will be with IUI. 
-------------------------------------------------

Plan B if tests come back abnormal is to do IVF. 

Apr. 14th, 2016:

We had DD's EEG today. She did amazing!! Did not need any medication to be relaxed. Allowed the nurse to do the test without moving... Thank Goodness for iPads and good thinking Mommy right!? 
-------------------------------------------------

Apr. 28th, 2016:

We got the results everything came back fine with the EEG but unfortunately we still don't know what is causing her blackouts. We do have a scheduled MRI and we have to go and do some genetic testing on her to see if there is anything we haven't ruled out yet.

Apr. 21st, 2016

Hello Mother Nature, Where are you!? Not here... WTH is going on!? Am I pregnant? 😳

Apr. 27th, 2016 

Had my appointment with my Endocrinologist today, Apparently I have Type II diabetes and of course I have Thyroid. I have been placed on Metiformin and have test my sugar and change my diet. I am also on .2mg of Snythyriod.  

Also, had bloodwork today for HCG. Awaiting results. 
------------------------------------------------

Apr. 28th, 2016

HCG came back <*2 so, its negative called my daughters office but she isn't in the office till Monday so, if I still don't have it by Monday I am to call and let them know.

Easter 2015 🐰 & Happy Birthday Piglet !

Easter 2015
Easter 2015

We decided to go to the trailer for Easter with the family. We went for Thursday night till Sunday night. The Easter Bunny was great to the girls and they have fun playing with their cousins and they learned how to play different card games since we had no tv and it was too cold to go outside to play.

I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Easter and a great time with family!!


Mar. 29th, 2015 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER!!!
I can't believe she is 4 already, I mean I wish I could stop time and just live in that moment.  It makes me sad to think that she won't be home with me starting July when she enters school. I'll be alone and lost. I have been blessed with being able to stay home with my girls and have my husband working. I have been blessed to watch all of them begin crawling, walking and talking. We have now entered the Potty Training phase and it has not been going well no matter what I do. She gets it and then doesn't get it. I guess it is just something that comes with time. I have been blessed to be able to co-sleep for 4 years, not that it was the plan but is just something we did and have been doing since she was born and I love every minute of it.

We did to birthdays for her one with my parents and one with his family since we were at the trailer and my parents couldn't be there.

What just happened!?

Jan. 25th, 2015

So my youngest woke up last night around 1am in her sleep and looks kinda at me kinda forward towards our kitchen. At first I thought she was still sleeping and then she sat there for a good 7 minutes not saying anything just sitting there. I called her no response waited called her again and finally she looked at me and started talking juberish and then came over and started making more sense.
Essentially her "bad dem" was about a giant minion who got into the house and took her to Walmart came back and tried to eat Panda "her cat" and then ate her.
She's never really told me about a dream and she's only even done the unresponsive thing once before a few years ago. I know I should be concerned but seriously this was her first bad dream she could tell me about. I'm very impressed.

This didn't sit well with me so, I am taking her to her PEDS and getting her check-out. Once I told the PED. what happened he was very sure it was an absent Seizure and wants us to go for an EEG and see the Neurologist.

New Doctor 🏥

Jan. 21st, 2016

Well the day finally has come where I got to meet my new doctor at Mount Sinai. I was nervous, anxious and upset my husband couldn't make because someone has to be there to get our kids off the bus right!? So, we went through my history and she asked about my Stroke back in 2009. I was one of the lucky ones to not have any complications from and she said it probably was because you were so young. In case she order an EKG and Echo as well as a number of blood work and urine. She also refer me to a team of other Dr.'s that she is going to work closely with and make sure that it is same for me to conceive.

So here is the break-down of the Team of Dr.'s:
  1. OBGYN/GYNO/Overweight baby Dr. - Mount Sinai- Main Dr. 
  2. OBYGN/GYNO - 1st Dr. from Now - 12 weeks 
  3. Endocrinologist 
  4. Weightless Dr. 
Between this team I am sure to be fixed... -I hope-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Jan. 11th, 2015

My oldest daughter turns 8 today, thinking back to the day she was born, I remember everything! I can't believe she's already 8 the years have flown on by.

To celebrate we had a Party at our Local Bowling Alley and had a blast. We had two rounds of Bowling, followed by an hour in the Party room for Pizza and Cupcakes. She had a blast and so did her friends that came. I will definitely do this again. It was well worth it.

Breakfast Television Christmas Party

Dec. 17th, 2015

Today we brought the girls to stay a Hotel tonight -Sheraton Centre Toronto- because we are attending for the first time ever, the BTXMAS Party that Breakfast Television holds every year. We have been trying to come for the last 7 years but unfortunately timing was not right or money was tight. This year we planned and made it happen! So, we stayed over night and went swimming and we also took the girls into the mall. Now I don't know about you but my kids LOVE American Girl  and thankful Indigo/Chapters in the Eaton Centre (and Yorkdale) have a full section just to give kids the experience. So, we have been in need of a brush for their dolls -well Middle daughter already has one, oldest was getting one for christmas so, she never understand why she need one- and we were able to finally get them one. Youngest we just took to the Disney Store and picked up a Cars package for her.  When we got back into the Hotel we met Kevin Frankish, Diana Pugliese and Frank Ferragin. It was awesome, years of waiting to meet them, just happened within seconds. We had conversations with them and my daughter of course yelled out KEVIN to get his attention. 😂 It worked of course. We went to bed early as it was going to bed an early morning.


Dec. 18th, 2015

5:00am was the time we got up and went down in our Pj's and we party and got to see behind the scenes of how everything was done. Now comes the part that really ticked me off. So I am standing in front behind a few moms and this mom beside me has her carseat with a newborn and her toddler. Well my oldest daughter couldn't see so she pushed her way through the "Adults" and went to where the stage was and sat down. Unfortunately I couldn't see. Well, I got upset because you see my oldest as I have mention before has Autism and will sometimes act silly or can get extremely overwhelmed so, I want to be able to see her and make sure she is ok. This mom was a complete *BEEP*. I mean I am sorry but all I asked was for her to switch places with me so, I can see my child with a disability but no. It was more important for her to be on TV and the fact that she had been there since 4am and her mother who had a walker was way in the back then just moving over some to let me see my kid. Anyway, she ended up leaving and I was pushed out of the way yet again by the other *BEEP* beside her and told that my daughter was important enough. I was livid but tried to keep my cool for the shake of my kids, the tv show and the other 1000 people there. I ended up moving to the side of the stage to sit down because my youngest daughter got sick over EVERYONE in including *BEEEP* #2, which I'm sorry Karma is a .... -you can fill in the blanks-. Once over on the side of the stage my daughter ended up falling a sleep on the stage, my middle daughter keep calling KEVIN, which he was so nice and would acknowledge her every time and would laugh about it.

At the end of the Show, we went for breakfast buffet and then went down to get a picture with the whole BT Crew. I was so excited because I was finally going to get to meet my idol Jennifer Valentine.  After all this we were ready to go home and get some sleep because we were all exhausted. Overall, if you haven't had a change to get this experience yet, I would go but I rate it a 5 and would do it again but maybe not for a few years when the kids are older.

Happy Anniversary! 5 Years! 💏

Dec. 11th


Our Wedding. Niagara Falls, ON Dec. 10th 2010
5 Years! WOW! I can't believe it have made it 5 years already. It's crazy just to think about. A lot has happened in 5 years, we've had 3 beautiful girls, we have gone through crazy loops and bounds to stay from walking out that door... -I mean every marriage has it's breaking point and the certain number of problems right!? no one is perfect- and we have stayed strong through it all. I remember our wedding 5 years ago today, we had a private ceremony with some friends -ones we no longer talk to now- and had the pastor come to our hotel room -at the Sheraton on the Falls, now known as the Marrot Gateway on Niagara Falls- and we had an amazing very intimate moment. It was nice and calming, the after party was hilarious. We went to dinner in the Hotel -formally known as Milestones-and they messed up on my steak to which I didn't eat but the Wine was great and you liked your dinner and then we decided to go back to the room and drink some -although our friends at the time did not want to- then we decided to walk to the casino, in the cold, in my wedding dress and gamble to which we won a good amount of money that night. To then which I froze again with no shoes and walked to the closest restaurant at the time My cousin Vinnie's and had the most amazing Fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms and sundries tomatoes. Then we went back to our Hotel and called it a night. 😏


Dec. 11th-13th, 2015

This year we decided to go back to Niagara and celebrate our 5 years and enjoy "our time" together. Talk and gambled, and we actually went bowling, to which I enjoy a pint of beer to myself as hubby did not want to drink for whatever reason... it was a good night though. We stayed the night in our original suite which was the Loft Room and then moved into a smaller room -King Room- and had friends come and spend the night with us. We went out on the Town and enjoy the Winter walk and also went through our very first HAUNTED HOUSE! It was crazy, we met another couple that we didn't even know but when you're going through this place you don't care whose there you are grabbing on to someone and just getting through it. There was a guy in the walls and for whatever reason he had a vendetta against my husband and was taunting him, I wish I could imitate the exact voice used but believe me it was the funniest thing, we were all peeing ourselves laughing. Once we finished my husband -the one who never wanted to do these type of things in the first place- wanted to go back in -I finally broke him in- but we decided to go back to the Hotel and the rest of them went to the Casino because me being forgetful forgot my ID at home.

5 Year Anniversary
So I stayed at the Hotel and the Hotel was super sweet and sent us a plate full of Chocolate covered Strawberries -Hershey Chocolate I might add- and champagne -not that wanted to drink- and watched a movie and ate the strawberries. The next morning we left around 11am and got home and spent the night with the girls. Overall I can't wait for our 10th because we are definitely going away maybe Las Vegas Nevada? 😜

*More pictures to come soon.

CP Rail Holiday Train 🚂

Dec. 1st, 2015

Today we took our youngest to see the CP Rail Holiday Train. We had no idea that this train even existed, until it came up on my Facebook News Feed. It's free, all you do is bring a Food Donation and they have Free Hot Chocolate and a free toy for the child. Santa comes and the train rolls in and they have a free concert. It was so much fun! The smile on my little girls face was priceless. Definitely pulling her out of school next year for this, new tradition with her. It's her only time with Mom and Dad.

If you haven't heard of it or haven't checked it out. Look it up in your town and look at the schedule. It goes across Canada.

Happy Birthday Hunnie! 🎂🎈

Nov. 16, 2015

My husband's birthday is today and usually we have someone watch the girls and go out to dinner -usually Mandarin, his favourite place- and a movie -it was the Twilight Series, then it became The Hungry Games- but this year was different. He just wanted to go To his all time favourite place East Side Mario's for dinner to enjoy his day with his girls. We had a nice dinner and they gave him a little mouse cake and we sang Happy Birthday. It was kinda nice. I did get a few pictures unfortunately not of him because my phone died 😑 so here are two from that night. 



Hunnie here is to many more birthdays with you! I hope you had an amazing day today! Love you. 💕

Santa Claus Parade 2015

Nov. 15th, 2015

 We took the girls to the Santa Claus Parade this year down in Toronto. We have never been so was an experience we have been trying to do forever. The girls got to ride the subway down and we got Tim Hortons and got to see all the amazing floats up close, take pictures with the clowns -that i DID not like hence my fear of clowns- and also, one special picture the Major of Toronto himself! It was a great time and to see the smiles on the girls faces just made my heart feel warm and blessed. ☺️

Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃🍽🍷

October 9th-12th, 2015

I hope everyone is having a great long weekend with their families and friends! We went to the trailer this weekend and had an amazing Thanksgiving.


We also.....



BOUGHT A TRAILER!!


Just a few pictures of the inside of the trailer

We are so excited and are bummed that we can't stay in it for more then one night but it's ours and its the best $3,500 investment I believe we have ever made. This trailer is a house trailer. It has 3 bedrooms, a full-size bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. In a few years we can place this trailer on land and eventually add onto it and make it our home. So basically we just bought our house. Over the next few months we have plans to repaint the inside because the previous owners painted it this disgusting yellow colour that looks horrible and covered up the original wallpaper which is sad but it was nice and we are replacing the counter top. We will also have to replace the toilet and the counter top in the bathroom but like I said we will have to save over the next few months till April 2016 in order to afford everything.

We have NEW Kittens!! 🐱

Oct. 9th, 2015

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABIES!! 

Well at 1am this morning my cat decided to go into labour with her second litter and I got to watch the whole thing. It was probably the most amazing thing I have seen! I even got to hold them immediately after birth to make sure that they were ok.  She had 5 all together and oh man the process and the length of time it takes to have kittens gives me a new outlook on labour. I mean seriously, she has no pain killers and let me tell you it took a good 3 hours for all the babies to be fully delivered, thats insane. My poor Cupcake.  Oh and guess where she decided to give birth... under my couch. Yup she ripped apart the undercover of my couch and made herself a little dwelling. The only reason I knew she was giving birth was because I heard the smallest little meow ever! It was like my girls before born all over again, that first cry. I got to hear that from a kitten! Amazing! I wish I could keep them all! And it sucks that I am leaving for the long weekend of Thanksgiving.

Graduation Day 🎓

October 8th, 2015

So, I haven't shared yet that through all the drama in my life, I was at least putting my mind else where and to good use. I graduated today!!

I started schooling for college at home through MacTech Distance Education, for Creative Digital Media. It took longer then planned and expected but I have learned over the last few months that nothing goes as planned but given everything I had been through I was glad to have finished!

I graduated at the top of my class with a 95 overall and on the honour roll and I couldn't be prouder of myself!!

It is the best feeling in the world, that not only did I complete something for the future career I want but I also showed my girls that no matter what happens in life, if you put your mind to something you will accomplish it.




*picture of my all my grades. Blank spaces means no assignment was needed for that part of the course.

First Day of School! 😀

Today was the first day back to school for my two oldest girls and they were excited. Every year on the first day, I go with them and we find their classroom or line up outside and meet the teacher. This year my oldest was entering Grade 2 and my middle daughter was entering SK so she had the same teacher as in JK.  
Afterwards, my youngest and I went home and got things in order because our house was in chaos. We had laundry and everything that needed to be done and the rooms needed to be cleaned and the carpet needed shampooing and with just one little girl home -who is my little helper i might add- it got down faster then expected. So, we had time to relax. After school since it was a gorgeous day out I decided to take the girls to the park and enjoy the last few days of Summer and tire them out. 😂😏😜
