It was 1993 and I was in the sixth grade, probably 11 at the time. I was not an athlete, like my sister. I was the nerd. I was reading and writing at an above-average level, and teachers groomed me into excelling in Academics.
The Premier of British Columbia, Christy Clark, invited myself and a few other mom bloggers in BC to a round table discussion.
The topic: issues that affect mothers in this province.
Born a bully? Or raised a bully?
Team Nurture takes the win, in my opinion. I’m no expert, but I do know that kids learn a lot about relationships and social interactions by watching their parents navigate through life. I’m not suggesting that parents are intentionally raising bullies; but perhaps we’re not deliberate enough in our efforts to raise peaceful, compassionate kids.
So how exactly do we do that?
Do you consider yourself to be the creative type?
Trick question.
There is no such thing. We all have a creative genius in us. However, some use their creativity and others don’t. There is nothing better in life than being creative, so why are there so many who label themselves as “not the creative type”?
There may be a few reasons, but in this post, I throw the blame on parenting.

How do you feel when your baby’s birthday comes around? A little sad that she is no longer teeny, tiny and as needy? Those thoughts creep into every mother’s mind when their child turns another year older. Birthdays tend to remind us that life changes as time goes on.
Seemingly harmless, every thought we have leaves an impact. These thoughts can become a pattern that repeatedly robs us of the happiness available to us right here and now.

Toddlers hate waiting. They don’t understand the concept. Last weekend, at Maplewood Farm, I was posed with the mighty task of teaching Tiana the art of waiting.
Our first visit to the farm called for another edition of “Sour & Sweet”.
Motherhood: a mash up of (mostly) exquisite days and trying moments. As always, there’s something to take away from each experience. Allow me to share, some sour n’ sweet moments as of late.
Mothers are crazy. Who would, not only stick around, but pour their heart and soul into a relationship that has been so trying, at times. Moms rock the unconditional love.
As a mother, you do everything you can to make sure your children are happy and healthy. You feed them. You bathe them. You make sure they are well-rested. And of course, you shower them with kindness and compassion on difficult days.
As much as you’d love to care for them forever, at some point, your little birds will leave the nest.
Welcome!
