I like books, my cats, my son and running. In no particular order.

The continent is literally on fire, we can't go outside because of poor air quality due to smoke...and I'm just supposed to keep working like it's any other day?

Told my toddler raisins were a type of chocolate chip and now he is begging for raisins every day.

I think I've peaked as a mom, just going to bask in this win until the next tantrum.

Parenting hack:

If you want to go to the bathroom in peace don't try to sneak away or say you'll be right back. They will immediately find you.

Instead, tell your toddler "I'm going to the bathroom, you should come".

Ethan: N-O-P-E spells....
Me thinking: 🤩 omg my 2 year old is a genius
Ethan: ....DARK!

😂🤔😂🤭

What do toddlers (my son) and app developers (my spouse) have in common?
I heard both of them working on sharing with friends and "space chats" (whatever that is) today.

Every time my 2 year has carrots at daycare we get the update "ate all".

Has he ever eaten a carrot at home?

Of course not...."yu-cky".

Ethan hit an important milestone this week. He can blow his nose. Forget walking or crawling, this one is a real gamechanger 🤧

When the Canadian is watching Jack Ryan S3:
"I don't get it, why would you want to be the most feared country?"

I'm writing this as the sun rises. I've been awake for well over an hour.

The phrase "bright and early in the morning" is such a tease when you have a toddler, in Canada, in the winter. My mornings are distinctly dark and early. So dark...

Just realized my grandkids are gonna interview me about growing up without the internet for a school project.

And it was just the norm. My great grandma was just a respectable french Canadian Catholic. If you didn't have at least 10 kids by age 35 it's like "what are you doing with your life?"

[Tegan @teganau]

So Nick Cannon has 12 kids? So what. My grandpa had 11 siblings. Yours probably did too.

Love that Zanab has a giant water bottle everywhere she goes. She is one hydrated babe!!

I'm rarely proactive enough to take my blue bin/garbage to the curb the night before. But when I do, I take the wrong one...ugh.

Happy Monday I guess? Time to go re-take out the trash

[Tegan @teganau]

Are there any millennials or younger out there who still sort their laundry? I feel like that died with our generation...or maybe I'm just trying to convince myself my laundry habits aren't slovenly?

Toddler Tantrum Tuesday:

I couldn't put the banana back in the peel...poor naked banana.

Also, his blue popsicle wasn't purple (he chose the blue popsicle, and there are no purple popsicles...).

[Tegan @teganau]

Just dawned on me that produce can trend the way fashion does. Corn, for example, is so trendy right now. And kale is so 5 mins ago (thank God!)

Potatoes are of course that staple trend, a classic that never goes out of style.

[Tegan @teganau]

Time flies, except when your toddler insists on pushing his stroller home himself.

And you really have to pee.
