Too cold

Today we are going to a play date with a mommy who lives a 5 minute walk away- but with this weather we might actually drive! Stay at home moms in Winnipeg sure have it tough in the winter! Looking forward to spring!

Things are changing

I'm starting to prepare to go back to work, planning a big trip for my upcoming 30th bday to NYC with my best friend (and also my first time away from the K-Man :( )
Our lives feel like they are in transition! Soon ill be at work and Kel will be the stay at home dad (which also means he will be cooking me supper every day ? :) ) and ill be spending a majority of MY day at work. I'm starting to look forward to it... I think! As much as I love Kathy lee and Hoda for the 4th hour of the today show....

I'm starting to see that kason doesn't necessarily NEED his mommy all day every day- he needs to be cared for. The reality of parenting is coming to play.
Kason has an allergy to dairy products and soy- so finding a formula that works for him is a huge challenge. So I've cut out dairy and soy from my diet and we have exclusively breastfed. So- as well as going back to work, turning 30, (upon finding the right formula) I will also be able to enjoy the BIGGEST bowl of ice cream I have ever had !!!

I'm starting to have more to look forward to!!

Happy Wednesday!! The countdown is on... For the end of my 20's and the beginning (again) of ice cream!

The last 3 months...

I have been battling over the last few weeks that my maternity leave is coming to a close.  I have explored so many options in my head: quitting my job, finding a job that I can work from home, start my own business, go back later....

The reality is - I have to go back eventually and already I am starting to want to go back.  No one told you that this would be a challenge of parenting... the debate to go back to work and when!  I miss doing a job with goals and success!  I love being with Kason - but yesterday my goal was to clean the tub... and when I did I felt good but them immediately realized that I have a university degree and lots of work experience... I can reach a little higher!

Kelly and I want to provide all that we can for Kase, and to do that I need to go back to work.  I think it's healthy for Kason to go to daycare and I KNOW it is healthy for me to go to work and have some meaningful Sharon time... not just blogging during naptime!

I'm going to enjoy these last 3 months, moving and grooving with Kase, and know that I am lucky to have even had a year off of work and all that time with my kid... so many people don't get that luxury.

And I'm going to enjoy every minute before and after work with my son, watching him grow and learn from all his experiences.

He is on the move...
