Bluenose Mommy

Yesterday was my Birthday. I’m not one of those people who go all out for their birthday, but I thought I could do something momentous to remember this year. I decided to track 35 questions that I seem to keep coming back to frequently. 1- Am I really a mom? Wasn’t I just in university?! Where did the time go? 2- How does everyone not love Rachel Hollis? 3- Did I choose the strangest dog ever, or did I raise the strangest dog ever? 4- Why do people have so many passionate opinions on the age that you take your kids to Disney? 5- If I could do anything in the world today, what would I do? 6- Where are my keys? 7- When did I wash my hair last? 8- If I did _______ would that be over the top nerdy? 9- Can Brin and I dress as twins today? Or am I still too self conscious after the remarks I got last time? 10- Will my kids ever sleep? 11- Are my kids normal? 12- Why is it “cool” to be bad at math? 13- What fun things can the kids and I do next? 14- Why won’t this

Every year I make it a goal to go on more dates with my husband, and we usually really suck at that goal. When we do find the energy to go out and book a babysitter we often lack creativity in what to do. We often find ourselves out for dinner, going to a movie, or even grocery shopping. So, to make things a little more adventurous for our date nights, I’ve decided to come up with a list of date ideas in and around Halifax.
