Happy First Birthday Baby Boy!
Today my baby is one, I can't believe that this year has passed so quickly and he is on his way to becoming a toddler, and then (some day way off in the future....) a man.
He has grown so much in the last year, accomplished so many firsts, and has learned so much but to me he will always be my baby boy.... my monkey!

Photo Friday! Chinese Food in Little Boxes!
I wanted to share with you a Photo Friday that is a little light hearted and a lot fun!
My whole life I can remember feeling a little envious and a little silly watching TV and movies and seeing characters eating Chinese food from the tiny take out boxes... I can also remember my Mom saying "I'd love to have Chinese food in little boxes now..." for what has felt like my whole life...
So this winter when we ordered in our dinner this is what we received and I couldn't have been happier.... I was so happy I had to take a photo!
Simple pleasures I suppose...
Do you have any silly simple pleasures? Share them in the comments I'd love to know I'm not alone!
Happy Friday!

Photo Friday! A Little Beach Get Away!
One thing you likely don't know about me it that I love the ocean, I can't imagine not living by the sea and the fact that I can see the water from my home and my second home (at my mom's place in Bay Bulls NL) and for that matter my third home (Robyn's childhood home of Little Heart's Ease NL) makes me a little giddy...
To me the world make a little more sense when I'm by the waters edge looking out at the waves or even just the little ripples in the bay... I say a little more sense because after loosing my father In-law so suddenly last month the world seems a little more than off, a little more than wrong...
The photos I'm sharing today are from a quick trip to the beach we took the afternoon after his funeral and it just seemed that the sun was shining for him, the waves were rolling for him and to be honest it put me a little more at peace with everything.
I love that the beach offers so many things to capture in a photo its like a playground for nature....
Happy Friday Friends!

The Power of Words!
If you follow Momma Made It! on Pinterest (AKA if you follow little old me... and here is how...) you may have noticed that I pin A LOT of quotes....
Like this one...
Or this one...
Or even this one...
Sometimes they are light hearted and funny and sometimes they are down right serious and heartfelt and every now and then I pin one that is sad and heartbreaking.... that's a whole lot happening to my heart right there... but that is just it.
Its amazing to me what words can do for us, what they "say" to us how they change our mood or our thoughts or how our hearts feel... It still shocks me that a word or two can change how I see things and how I think about them.
The power of words is really something when you think about how they effect us.
So I leave you with one of my favorite quotes...
Do you have a favorite quote, a few words strung together that you just keep coming back to... Share them in the comments I love having a few new words to rattle around in my head...

The Post I Don't Want To Write...
I have been putting this post off for a while...
Truthfully I haven't been posting for a while just to avoid this post...
It's not that not writing this post makes my life any less real or any less painful.
It's not that I have to write this post, I can leave you in the dark about why I haven't been posting, and to be 100% honest with you you're not going to get the whole story, but I feel like its time to get back to the blog and time to get back to my life and this I feel is the first step to doing so.
On June 30th our family suffered a major loss.
My Father In-Law was in a major car accident and passed away.
We were shocked and stunned and rocked to the core. Myself and the kids were on a Canada Day Camping trip and expecting Robyn to come pick us up in the morning when I got the call. Of course we spent the next week with Robyn's Mom and siblings while the kids stayed at home with my Sister.
We have been at home now for almost 3 weeks which has passed so slowly, and we are trying to put our lives back together and find a way to feel normal again.
So please bear with me while I get back to a regular schedule and back to posting on a regular basis.
