Missing @ford.amery so much since he went back to Missing @ford.amery so much since he went back to Toronto a month ago to live with his 29er sailing partner and his incredible family. So proud of how hard he’s training. As a mom I wish I’d soaked in every moment of the boys’ childhoods even more deeply. It all matters. Each museum visit, aquarium tantrum and trip waiting in line to meet Mickey Mouse. Even if they don’t remember per say, each experience helps their growth and confidence. Glad I took a billion photos!!! 🤣 (and any tips on photo organizing welcomed)! #lovemykids #growth #parenting #teenagers #hestallerthanme #respect #growinguptoofast

I cried. 💉 Haven’t really laughed or cried in I cried. 💉 Haven’t really laughed or cried in months but today I could. It’s almost over. I won’t miss the loss of freedom, the judging of others, the grief, the feeling gutted for kids with heartache. But some things I never want to forget and want to make sure I embed them into our existence as long as possible. - 1. Feeling extra thankful to people in jobs I wouldn’t necessarily want: front line workers, first responders and scientists. 2. Valuing every. Single. Second. We get to spend with family and friends. 3. Knowing that the arts got us through and we have to support every effing artist we know, especially when theatre, music, comedy and art are allowed. 4. Slowing down to cook and try new recipes at home. 5. Being more accepting of appearances. And also KD and packaged ramen are perfectly fine meals. 6. Not taking restaurant meals and sitting at a bar for granted. 7. Taking a pass on going out. 8. Culling the friend list of people who don’t spark joy. 9. Figuring out that if certain movements which should have been heard many years ago can only take hold when everyone is sitting at home, then we have a problem that must be addressed. 10. Enjoying the community around us by getting outside and talking to people while walking around the neighbourhood. 11. Taking care of health - vitamins, exercise, and better habits because you never know when healthcare may become inaccessible. 12. Value technology and all it can do to enhance your life. 13. Vote. More than ever we know how important our government decision-makers are.

Kids have buckets, people are in the water, and smiles are everywhere. I wish I’d done more exploring when I grew up here. First time ever at Crystal Crescent Beach!! #novascotia #beachday #crystalcrescentbeach #crystalcrescent #haligonia #haligonian #gulfstream
I can’t imagine a more magical graduation after I can’t imagine a more magical graduation after only 3 months of in-person school this year before heading to high school. Having Captain Phil Watson, 20-year Captain of the Bluenose II present his diploma in front of the ship was pretty epic. Teachers and administration at the @therosedaledayschool shared in the moment and all of the kids’ video ceremonies will be shown at the formal Zoom grad in 2 weeks. This is the 100th anniversary of the majestic wooden vessel. ⚓️ @bluenose_100 #lunenburg #bluenose2 #bluenose #graduation2021 #virtuals hook #novascotia #woodenboat #schooner #unescoworldheritage
My dance teacher said this week: don’t postpone My dance teacher said this week: don’t postpone joy. This is so important to think about during a pandemic and under lockdown. Even on a rainy day, the farm comforts and soothes. I know by the state of the ocean how many jackets to put on! #mahonebay #lunenburg #raglanbrooks #lilacs #serenity #ashtree #maderscove #adirondackchair #dontpostponejoy #novascotia
Getting ready for the weekend by noticing the litt Getting ready for the weekend by noticing the little magic places and treasures all around me. The farmhouse may look different than it did in 1994 when my Mom bought it. But as I put my design stamp on things and learn how to actually live here with my own kids, I think she’d be proud and thrilled that we are toasting it’s history. This corner cabinet came out of an old home years ago and we freshened it up with white. It was hunter green and beige before! #farmhouse #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #mahonebay #lunenburg #springflowers #lifestyle
We are starting with 4,5,6. This pic is me as Rey We are starting with 4,5,6. This pic is me as Rey on May 4, 2016 en route to #disneysmmoms at @waltdisneyworld. The kids were stormtroopers and I told them the airline wouldn’t let us board if we didn’t dress up in costume for May 4. Boy, were they mad when everyone else was dressed as boring normal people.

It’s up to us. Our every action and choice. What It’s up to us. Our every action and choice. What we buy. How we use energy. What we plant. How we eat. What we waste. And what we model for our kids. Also what we let our kids teach us. As we spend more time at home it’s a great opportunity to question how we might live more sustainably for the planet. Our family sure has, but we have farther to go. And when we next see this Carribean sunset hopefully I can say we helped create change for the planet. #earthday #savetheplanet #earthday2021 #sunset #sailing #sailinginstagram #fontainepajot #tradewinds #tradewindslife

It’s an oldie but a goodie! One of the epic birt It’s an oldie but a goodie! One of the epic birthday parties my mom used to throw. 🎂🥰 But looking at it all I see are friends. Closeness. Camaraderie. As we enter another 30 day lockdown in Ontario coupled with spring break (gaaah!!) it’s important to remember there are people out there who may feel lonely. I sure do, and I have a family and pets to hang with. I’m passing the time getting ready to move again and cleaning out tons of photo albums. Here’s to hugs and better times ahead, being able to hang out. ❤️
Hoping everyone who celebrates had a safe and deli Hoping everyone who celebrates had a safe and delicious Easter. It was a bit déjà vu for us, but with one kid missing so only three for dinner. Exposed at school, he’s been alone in his room for a week, us both masked as we take him food. No back rubs. No hugs. Gutting as a parent. Praying that the vaccine rollout moves faster in Canada, and that we can hug him soon. 🌷🙏🏼❤️
I’ve hit the wall. As a parent you do everything I’ve hit the wall. As a parent you do everything to keep kids safe. This means mental health too, and this pandemic is unabashedly unkind to our youth. I spent five hours in the middle of the night on @kidshelpphone and couldn’t keep up with the volume of people in crisis voraciously texting in. So much suffering. Today we learned someone in one of the boys’ school cohorts tested positive for covid. Both kids have to isolate for 14 days and one only got back to school in person last week. They needed to go back for their mental health. Yes, our grandparents had it bad. Wars, the depression, more war. But after over a year of full and partial lockdowns, our kids are unravelling. During the first half of this century we asked 17 year old boys and men to fight in wars and women to work in factories. Besides the isolation and lack of physical contact with covid, one difference as I see it is that now it’s all hands on deck. Everybody has been profoundly affected. Health care workers. Teachers. Olympians. Grandparents. Supply chain workers. But also never forget the kids. We are asking small kids, teens, tweens, and even babies to sacrifice so much. The constant changing pandemic landscape, getting blamed by inept governments, job loss, housing insecurity, lack of physical contact. It’s too much. We need to pay close attention to this next generation and give them our everything in the coming years. We need to save any ounce of energy we may have left for them. #musings #covidrant #mamabear #pandemiclife #lockdown #inthistogether #canada #wellness #torontostrong #onpoli
