Mom hair

So, for some crazy reason, when you get pregnant or officially become a mom... All you feel like doing is reinventing yourself.

After all, you are now a new version of yourself.

So, I've been toying with the idea of chopping my long youthful hair off. Since I'm in Montreal, sans-V, why not treat myself. And... Voila!

So far I really like it. Let's see how it looks after I wash and style it myself. I got large bangs too, but I need to get used to them first before I make the reveal!

Have a good weekend guys and gals and don't forget that tomorrow is Daylight Savings! Yahoo! That means one more extra hour of uninterrupted sleep for momma!

Momma's night off: Weekend trip to Montreal

After a long trip to Thunder Bay with V and a jam packed Halloween, a little well deserved R&R is just what momma needs!

I'm headed to Montreal for a girls weekend/baby shower. So maybe I can't party hard with my prego bestie, but I sure can sleep in, have my arms to myself and just spend some time with ME! I miss ME :(

I'm on the train now, which is a fantastic way for me to catch up on my blogging :)

Coffee in hand, watching the beautiful farm landscapes out the window, it always reminds me that the train is truly a more civilized way of traveling! I bet people get inspired here all the time :)

If you're nervous about leaving baby and taking some time for yourself. DON'T BE!  You'll drive yourself nuts! The real trick is, leave and don't look back. Don't look at pictures of V like I just did. That will kill you and it's the perfect opportunity for our little friend called "guilt" to set in.

I live by these new words, happy mom, happy baby! When you come back from your time alone, you really feel rejuvenated and you will be more patient and appreciative of your family. I've been really focused on not losing myself since I've become a mom, and it's working for us!
