This little birdie (yellow warbler?) crashed into my living room window this morning. As I went to check on her and help her off the porch, she clung onto my fingers and wouldn’t let go. What a special moment! She safely made it to a nearby birch tree. #wondersofnature #mybackyard #mybanff #birdsofinstagram

Rainy day 💦 activities. Lately our household has been dealing with the “start of school squirrelly behaviour” 🐿 and the little one seems to be adopting it too. What do you do to help kids ease into things? So much time spent at the desk seems to be the biggest culprit after social exhaustion. 🙂

Let the trip planning begin! 🇮🇪 🇲🇹 Has anyone been? We’ll be based out of Galway in Ireland. Any must-dos in these destinations?? Family-friendly ideas would be appreciated! #freelancingfamily #familytravel #zizkasabroad

Something struck me this morning while I was splashing water on my face, trying to wake up from this unending grogginess that has descended on me: having my kids 5 years apart has had an unforeseen benefit. Having been through raising a kid from newborn to school-age already, I have the unique perspective of knowing, to a degree, what lies ahead. What life is like when kids become more independent. How it feels to find a work/life/parenting balance again. How it feels to spend more time away from your kid or miss bedtime. Days with littles are full of fun and discovery but they are also long and tedious. But I know how fleeting they are, how quickly they head off to preschool, then kindle, then grade school. I feel like I’ve been given a second chance at the whole thing. To date, I haven’t been kind to myself on the work/life balance thing. But it’s because I’m so darn passionate about my own projects (some exciting stuff to announce in the months to come). And I enjoy working. But too often it takes over. The day before Paul left for Greenland I got caught talking about work late at night. It made me realize how easy it is to fall down that trap. I need to tattoo the reminder into my forehead! So here’s to second chances, and third and fourth. I won’t ever get it right but I do know that more time awaits me. For now, I need to cherish my time while my kids are young. Stop and be more present, despite the tiredness. Just be. #freelancingfamily #worklife #outdoorparenting #adventurousparents
