The Stay at Home Mother

So the Enterprising Moms event in Richmond, BC is over and I am finally starting to unwind. The speakers were amazing and the women showcasing had so many wonderful businesses. The evening reception was fun and I think everyone really enjoyed themselves. But it did make for a long day.

On Monday, I was able to spend a relaxing day with my children and take my son to school. He only has eight days left of school - I can't believe it! So now the question is - what the heck am I going to do with him all summer!.....

I am planning on enrolling him in some swimming lessons along with his sister. I think it will be really beneficial as both of them really love the water. My son is also enrolled in football this season, so we shall see how he does during summer practices.

He has really taken up reading a lot and I wrote about it in my latest article, which can be viewed online: CLICK HERE

But we will definitely be spening lots of days outside in the backyard (we have a new playset for the kids) and at the beach, which is just four blocks away. We don't have any big plans this summer - so am trying to be creative with things we will be doing.

If you are a new mom and are looking for support - there is a great workshop being offered by Mamaspeak called Trusting Your Intuition at Harmony Family Wellness Centre, 736, @ 16th Ave, Vancouver. It is a six week series to help new moms make a smooth transition to motherhood. Topics discussed include identity shift, relationships, sleep, feed, self-care and birth stories. For moms with babies newborn to four months. It begins on Monday, July 6th. You can contact Meralon Shandler at 604-266-8124, or visit www.mamaspeak.com for more details on this workshop and others.
