A day of firsts

Well I had to stop and quickly write as today was a day of firsts. Liv decided today she had enough of crawling and started to walk! What a great surprise. She also surprised us with taking milk straight. Thank goodness her papa was home to experience it first hand!

We also welcomed the first of hopefully many rains. Finally the snow is gone and spring is in the air. The buds are budding and the world smells fresh and new again. I can't wait to see what this spring brings us.

So much for....

Well so much for the plan to write almost everyday. Our week was so full. We visited the Grant MacEwan Design grad show and met up with old cohorts and teachers. Was nice to touch base.

Over the last week our household was hit with the flu! We were all affected except for the man of the house. I question if he has a immune system made of steel! But thankfully we are recovered and I am anxious to post as much as I can this weekend to make up for a week of being under the weather.

We also had our traditional spring snow, so we stayed in and pretended we were really snowed in! For us who live in Alberta that would mean at least a good foot or so of snow, enough that you would have to actually take a shovel to dig your car out! My only regret was that I didn't grab the camera and take some of the fantastic images that nature had produced for us.

Just the beginning....

Well here I am FINALLY getting to start this. I have been wanting to start this for sometime now as I have become addicted to reading blogs during my maternity leave. I am now back to work part time, but loving every second of being a mom. I hope to write about freelance projects I am working as well as others work I find inspiring. I also hope to write about cool products for moms and babies that I have found and would love to share. Becoming a mom is definitely a wake up call. So much to learn in so little time, and hope to share much of what I have learned. If you wondering about the name of the site. My daughter name is Liv and the site is dedicated to her...as she makes our lives so very sweet.
