A year ago I stared down at the squishiest little human, bundled like a burrito with the tiniest fingers I had ever seen and thought. “I can’t believe you’re mine.” Before promptly turning to Ray and saying “I can’t believe they’re just gunna let us take him home!! Are they crazy?!”
On Ronin’s first birthday I want to extend a giant, heart-swelled THANK YOU to this incredible community for all the love, positivity, support, advice and well wishes you have sent to our family this year. Little does Ronin know (but he will one day!) that he has an army of angels all over the world who bless him with positive energy and love. It is the greatest gift a parent could ask for their child and I am so deeply humbled and grateful for all of you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Ronin- you are FIRE!!! You feel so big! Your laughter is contagious and “he’s the happiest baby I’ve ever met” is the thing we hear most from the people you meet! How BLESSED we are to have your beauty in our lives. Your joie de vivre. I love that you make me cross the street so you can smile at someone on the other side. I love that you consume 2 Costco sized bags of blueberries every month. I love that you look at me with a cheeky grin when you fart, and have just learned what kisses are, and fall asleep on my chest when the sound of you sucking your little thumb is all I ever want to hear. I love you on your “spiciest” of days – even though I need to nap twice as long as you afterwards. I love what you have already taught me and look forward to all the lessons you’ve yet to reveal.
One day on a panel, several years ago, I said “I wish growing up I had let myself be silly, loosen up, have a little more fun”; and so, I am convinced that’s why, the universe sent me YOU. Thank you for choosing us to be your family. I adore you my little warrior. Always keep the fire burning.

I’m sorry I’ve been so MIA on social- trying to find this elusive “balance” with a babe is damn hard but I’m doing my best- todays post brought to you by grandma and grandpa -baby/pup sitters extraordinaire 🥰
I think I just woke up from a dream? Was I really there?! Thank you EARPERS !!! You continue to make me weak at the knees. What a summer of adventures we have had so far!! No matter how many amazing cons I experience I still get home and say them same thing, “I can’t believe this is real. I can’t believe people show up! I can’t believe the thoughtfulness, the kindness, the love”. Every 👏🏼 damn 👏🏼 time 👏🏼 I❤️U

It’s Take Your Baby Bro To the Dog Park Day. Bernie had a blast showing off his tiny human to all the other woofers. So much so that he refused to walk home… so yep, now we do this🙄🥹🥰 (swipe>>>)

Beyond blessed, lucky and grateful to have these TWO incredible Fathers in my life. One to me and one to my sweet boys 🥰
Happy Father’s Day, Ray- watching you nurture and care for our fluffy boy, Bernie, over the years was only the beginning of witnessing you in a role you were truly meant to have. Your adoration for Ronin, dedication, instincts, silliness and pure love have opened up your soul in such beautiful and profound ways. Thank you for sharing the journey with me.
Happy Fathers Day, Dad- without you we would have been overrun this year. You are a rock, a constant anchor- always going above and beyond to make sure we have every we need. It has been one of my greatest joys watching you become a grandfather. I promise we will put up the basketball net ASAP!
To everyone who celebrated the Fathers and Father figures in their lives yesterday (and always!)- I send my best wishes to those you adore and honour. I am also thinking of those for whom days like this can be particularly difficult. I see you and I love you.
Hug your people. Tell them you love them. Don’t let the days pass without letting them know your heart.

Today I took a video of Bernie and I making out. The end. ❤️
This morning en route to the library, filled with joy, to work on a project I am so excited to share with you guys soon!! I hope you have a beautiful day!! (Also there’s something about a backpack in September…😌)
@ehconcanada 👏🏼 @ehconcanada 👏🏼 @ehconcanada AUG 12-13-14 !!!! See you there!! 🇨🇦
((also for those of you have been asking- we tried very hard to make a food tour happen but unfortunately looks like we can not get the proper insurance in place since it would be off site 😢 I will still be releasing my list of recommendations in the next few days!!)
If you’re coming to Toronto this week I have put a list of my 💃 personal favourite spots 🕺 to eat and explore both in the city and out en route to Niagara! I hope you enjoy and I can’t wait to see you next weekend! ⭐️ Link in my bio ⭐️ and post some pictures if you do hit any of these spots in my twitter (pinned) post – I wanna see your adventures! ❤️❤️❤️
Our people ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you @galaxyconraleigh and #EARPERS – what a wonderful weekend of connection and fun! I love you!!!! 🥰
Happy Birthday to my favourite spa-Jedi-husband-father-best friend! You mean everything to me ❤️🥰❤️
