Thursday, November 15, 2012. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm Meagan. I used to be a Christian, a yoga teacher, an Attachment Parent, and a bleeding heart, hippy dippy, organic mama. Now I'm not so sure which of those labels apply to me. I guess I'm a mum in the middle of an existential crisis. While I figure things out, I'm having fun with my boys and writing about the ways I mess up and the happy mess they make of my life. Finger painting for Dad. 20 Random Things .

two steps forward: June 2013
http://www.twostepsforward.ca/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 11, 2013. Down on the farm (pt 2). A bottle for a baby cow. Checking out the calf barn from the comfort (read: cleanliness) of the Ergo. Gramps and Ollie, checking out the calves. Helping out with feeding. Look how pale these two slapheads are! Through the mud, to the digester. When I'm at the farm, I know I should be paying attention to the innovation and technology, but I'm just too drawn in by the deep green space. And the cute babies, of course. Down on the farm (pt 1). There is one thi...

Thursday, November 14, 2013. They punched each other all the livelong day today, so here's a little reminder (for me). That most of the time they love each other. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

two steps forward: Everyday People
http://www.twostepsforward.ca/2013/12/everyday-people.html
Wednesday, December 4, 2013. Last night I took the subway home from a night out, alone, as I often do. And as I often do, I found myself seated across from a man who looked, and acted "crazy". He was screaming violent obscenities at another passenger on the car, but remaining seated and not physically threatening. The other day we passed a woman on the subway who had no legs, and Oliver loudly asked "Where did her legs go? Is ignoring someone a form of politeness? I suppose maybe it is, giving them a pas...

two steps forward: September 2013
http://www.twostepsforward.ca/2013_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 11, 2013. How many penises are YOU worried about? I usually just scroll right past shared links and "inspirational" stories on Facebook, because I'm very suspicious of attempts to inspire me, but for whatever reason (actually, because I was trapped in the car with a sleeping baby and nothing to do), I followed this link. To a story of a single mom, raising three boys. I thought "Hey! And then, as the gently amusing post wraps up, there's this:. As a mother of boys who also happens to...

two steps forward: May 2013
http://www.twostepsforward.ca/2013_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 7, 2013. Nice family, nasty kid. Today we hung out with new friends on our street. A family with two little girls exactly the same age as my boys. The Dad is friendly and fun, the Mum is interesting, chatty, and we have a lot in common. The baby seems sweet. So you can probably guess the problem. The three year old is kind of a monster. Do I give this potential friendship another chance, operating under the assumption that this was a bad day for a good kid? How would you handle this? While I...

two steps forward: 3 Legitimate Fears
http://www.twostepsforward.ca/2013/11/3-legitimate-fears.html
Tuesday, November 12, 2013. YOU should be afraid of these three fierce pirates. I spent a lot of time yesterday thinking about this topic, three legitimate. Once I step into the realm of slightly more legit, the list gets way longer than three, and the details so much more personal. Honestly, I don't love this topic, but since I committed to write about it, here it is. Stream of consciousness and of no interest to anyone but my own self (and maybe a qualified therapist). How fucking weird, right? I feel ...

two steps forward: Emmett's Birth
http://www.twostepsforward.ca/p/emmetts-birth.html
I wrote Oliver's birth story quite a few months after he was born, when I first started blogging. I remember that writing it all out was a little emotional for me at the time, but there was distance and space between me and the experience and mostly it felt good. Writing about Emmett's birth has been on my mind since he was born, but seems overwhelming, because there are so many aspects of that story that are complicated and difficult. When does a "birth story" end - when the cord is cut? The experience ...
