"No Mommy" Stage Too Soon

My son, our little 2 year old, our wee kind spirited little man..... does not want my kisses, hugs and love. I knew this stage would come, at what, like age 7? Not this soon. . If anyone knows me, knows that I am a ball of mush. An emotional affectionate person who tells everyone dear to her that she loves them. This whole "No Mommy" business sucks big time. Not to be dramatic, but I thought being a Mom would be hard, but not this hard. I just want to love the crap out

If You're Not Happy, Thats On You

▪️Happiness▪️ . Happiness does not come from my husband, family or friends. It does not come from a new patio set or new summer dress. Happiness does not depend on anyone or anything. It is a state of mind. You choose what brings you joy in life. You also have the choice to get rid of the things that don't. You choose to surround yourself with the people you love and lift you up. You also have the choice to sit back if those people no longer bring light into your life.

.You Are Not Alone.

▪️You Aren’t Alone▪️ . . I’ve heard about it and experienced it all myself. You get engulfed with your little ones so deeply, you loose the sight of what makes you, YOU. But the truth is, you are someone new. It’s embracing the new you and finding pride within in it. Whatever that may be to you . . You aren’t alone. You feel like you’ve lost yourself, but will find yourself again ❤️ and oh, she is beautiful . . www.ScaleAndTailor.com BLOG @scaleandtailordesigns DES

Why We Love Early Years Programs

I am so glad we discovered these government run programs when my son was only 3 weeks old. It is a place where children and parents can go to play, learn, develop and grow in and around Ontario, Canada. Theme days are such a hit and one of the reasons we love going. Dinosaurs Days where we learn about fossils and beasts before our time, meeting 7 day old chickens in the spring time, and magical whimsical princess days are the most recent. It makes child led learning fun for

The Best Turkey Pot Pie

Turkey Pot Pie..... is there anything else better? This comfort food recipe wins over my family every time. These pies are a standard after Thanksgiving and Christmas in our household. We are a family of 3 and often have TONS of turkey leftovers after these holidays. Why I love this recipe over the others is because it holds strong. When you cut this pie, the insides do not seep out, but rather stick together. It also freezes great. I make 4-5 pies at a time and freeze (r

DIY Playroom Creative Corner: Wall Decals

Our son is 21 months old naturally LOVES to play. In our new home we have a living room and a room I like to call The Social Room. We just recently moved our playroom area from our living room to our social room. I absolutely loath change. Although I loved having the play area it in the living room, nothing fit. The toy ottoman was on the fireplace, his kitchen was sticking out from the wall, and his kids table in the middle of the room. I was continually trying to rearr

My Almost 2 Year Old Is Not Talking

My wonderful son of 21 months is a bundle of awesomeness. Since he was a month old he has topped the charts on both weight and height scale. People also associate a big baby with big expectations as they look older then they actually are. Eating solids, sitting up by himself, to walking; I've always had the confidence that he was on track. Until I had an almost two year old who hasn't began talking yet. Opinions go from one extreme to the other. Some optimistic people sa
