I’m now 7 weeks post-operation for my bunionette surgery on my left foot. Last week I had a visit with my orthosurgeon as well as x-rays. I also finally asked my doctor about my surgery and the procedure. He said the cut the bone, repositioned it and held it in place with a plate and […]
One Month Post Op: Just because I’m good, doesn’t mean I’m good.
It’s been almost a month since my bunionette surgery and life still sucks. Sure, I can walk around in my air cast on my heals, but I’m not sure if you’ve ever done that full time because it really sucks and it’s still hard on my body. It’s been a month since my surgery, and […]
Things I Needed for Bunion Surgery Recovery
Going into this surgery I felt very overwhelmed and underwhelmed. My surgeon told me some details during our first appointment but then I proceeded to forget most of it by the time I got home. I called the office and received vague recovery deadlines and supply suggestions with the expectation of knowing more on surgery […]
5 Things Nobody Told Me About Post Surgery (Bunionette)
5 days post surgery, and I’m alive. My brain finally feels like it’s working enough to do things other than play candy crush on my phone and watch netflix. Background: last Wednesday, I had bunionette surgery to correct my left foot. This is the first of two surgeries. 1. Surgery Recovery is WEIRD – and […]
Bunion Surgery Day is Soon!
Whenever I mention I’m having surgery this week people get all sad and apologetic, and I know it sucks, but I am so unbelievably excited (and terrified) for my surgery this week.

Tomorrow Will Be Okay.
How do women do this? How do they sleep and function? Or do working moms always have a bit of anxiety in their stomach and a racing heart beat? In October, I left for a weekend conference and my husband arranged a few days off to cover the parental responsibilities. Tomorrow, I’m going to a […]
Can we stop fighting about cloth diaper wash routines?
The fight about cloth diaper wash routines is destructive, mean, and just down right not-nice. It needs to stop. And yes, I’m talking about all you keyboard warriors who decide they have something to say about someones routine even if it’s working because it doesn’t align with your recommended guide book. Over the past few months, […]
Be The Change in the Cloth Diaper Community
Technically, over a week ago, I sat down with Suzi from ExPatMomInPg.com (formally Cloth Diaper Addicts) to chat about the cloth diaper industry because she’s full of opinions, and I’m enthusiastic young blogger with a desire to redirect the cloth diaper community. Today, on YouTube the first of many video’s went live. And after editing […]
Just Make the Muffins, Bailey
I’m at the park watching the kids burn off energy and dreaming of what could be. I’m thinking about how I would love to bring a refill store to Prince George because one of my biggest barriers to reducing waste is access to products that use less. I always find myself in this trap – I […]
Are you even a mom?
“Are you even a mom?” We all know that one mom on social media, or maybe even real life, that makes us question if they are even a mom. Their life looks like a perfect collection of highlight reels that may or may not involve their children. It’s in the somewhat regular trips away, and […]
