Maeva's first solids

Posted by Andrea T on Friday, July 9, 2010, In : Motherhood 
We were eating dinner and Maeva had a little pout like she wanted something too, despite having just fed.  Since she is so close to 6 months, I thought I'd let her try something. I had bought some organic peaches and apples with the intention of making a bit of food for her, but it has been so hot.  So I mashed a little bit of ripe banana instead.  She loved it!  I heard an interview on the CBC with the author of Sprout Right and I heard this quote, not sure if it was the author herself or on...

…and the way we feel when we laugh

 

It is the way you put one Cheerio on each plate

…and the way you grasp a pinecone

 

It is the way I hold you close on my back.

…and the way my hair blo...

Anderson has accumulated a few dolls since he was born; I even dug up my old favourite dolls from my childhood.  Dolls were hands-down my favourite toy, so I was excited to dig them out.  And it doesn’t really matter that he is a boy, I don’t want to only expose him to gender stereotyped toys for boys.  I like a wide variety of play things for him.  What is with the pale pink and lavender flower-clad girl clothes and toys and the royal blue and red airplane/truck/car themed clothes and ...

apron strings.

Posted by Andrea Traynor on Friday, March 13, 2009, In : Motherhood 



Some restaurants don’t have a highchair, namely Laughing Buddha (they do have a change table now) and relatives and friends who don’t have babies, usually don’t have highchairs.  I have a little fold up seat that can clip onto a chair, but sometimes I have so much to carry, and it is just one more thing, that I’d rather not carry.  Especially if I am downtown and going to the gym, I already have a backpack, diaper bag and Anders hanging off me in a sling.  So I’ve taken one of my Ba...

a brief intro.


This blog is about my journey as a mom. The struggles, the joys. My quest to navigate through my new identity, while trying to retain a bit of my old identity. It will contain useful (hopefully) info, photos of my Ander and Maeva, reflections on being a mom, as well as art, creativity, things I find inspiring.
