Inspired Living for Mommas
We all dressed up for mamma’s day last weekend, so I couldn’t very well leave J completely out of the mix. He needed a little extra styling.
Since we were going out for a nice brunch followed by an outing in the park I figured casual was best, and I threw the blazer in for a dressy effect.

I always find I’m lacking whenever J and I go out and he needs a little snack. So I thought I should put together a baby version of trail mix, put it in a bag and that way I will always have a snack on hand should he get hungry. The result was a pretty delicious mix that even M and I seem to love.
And this pizza made a perfect baby lunch. It was healthy, low sodium, low fat and J loved it!
I love the little red lined bunny rabbit that sleeps along side Johannes at night. He’s soft and cuddly and spends his nights watching over my little boy. He sees the stirs and murmurs. He breathes in his soft smell, that of a growing boy and less that of a baby. Bunny is nameless but precious. One day he will have a name, and be loved. For now he is the watchful sleep-time guardian and I make sure to always prop him up before I go to sleep, so he can be sure not to miss a minute.
I might be slightly jealous of our plush friend.
I love the red bunny so so much that I wanted to expand on the woodland crib theme just a little bit more, so when I came across this beautiful Auggie quilt I couldn’t resist. I brought it home right away, along with a matching sham and gray striped sheets for a little baby to enjoy. Now the crib is so cozy and whimsical, it makes me wish I was mini just so I could curl up in there and enjoy the whimsy too.
The weather these days has been amazing, so the outdoors is hugely on my mind. I plan on spending as much time as possible enjoying the outdoors this summer with J and M in tow. These little goodies are top of mind right now. Especially the wagon…I have a feeling it will be a huge hit with the kiddo.

Today it hit me like a tonne of bricks! My wife called me to say that the Montessori school our son was supposed to attend might not have room for him this coming August. Panic quickly set in and swift calls immediately ensued seeking a plan B. In the end all was well, as the school called back to say that they had made some arrangements and could accommodate the early registration after all.
My wife had told me many times that our son would be starting school in August, but for some reason, today’s reminder that we were only months away set off waves of emotion.
I can’t believe he is already going to school. Time seems to have passed so quickly, like it was just yesterday when he was a new born and now he will be off on his own adventure, even more independent than ever.
I have enjoyed every moment of watching my son develop, and for us, I know Montessori is the next logical step. But for today, I have not been able to mask the overwhelming sense of sadness that time is passing so quickly. Although I still consider my son a little guy, he is quickly becoming a little person.
Today has been one of slight sadness and reflection, but ultimately my son is growing into his own and I’ve never been prouder of who he is.
It was a good week, and I can’t wait for the post race soreness to subside so I can get back to the outdoors and our running stroller. I have 4 races planned in the next few months and I’d better get to training with my miniature coach.
Every summer I make a list of things I want to accomplish, places I want to visit, things I want to try.
So here’s my list:
Even though I only have 6 things on this list, it will be much harder to achieve each one than it might seem. But I’m going to look back at this post and remember I want to do all this.
