One of many reasons I am so very grateful for my babies.

Every child deserves the best support we can provide.

It's time for the UCP to stop blaming parents, teachers, and anyone else for their mistakes.

It’s time to properly fund public education.

I often feel shame and guilt when I'm feeling low because I'm not able to show up for others; like my sadness and anxiety are unlovable. But lately, so many of my friends have had similar low points, and it only makes me want to love them more because I see what they can't. I need to remember that

Happy Friday, everyone. Here is a helpful list of reminders for the day. And as always, I want to also remind you to #protecttranskids

Happy Monday, everyone. I hope your week starts out on a positive note and that you find joy in all the little things along the way. Don't hesitate to release what is weighing you down ❤️

New Year, same me. Still reminding you to check in on your loved ones, drink some water, put out your bags on trash day (just remembered that today is mine as I typed this) and as always, #protecttranskids

I've been so tired lately, I haven't had the time or energy to post any reminders. But here are a few for today: you can't pour from an empty cup; rest your mind and body whenever you can, take some extra vitamin C - you don't want a cold over xmas, and for the the love of God, #protecttranskids

Today's reminders:
Water your indoor plants before they wither and die (this comes from vast experience), take something out to defrost for dinner tonight, and #protecttranskids

Your reminders for today: don't forget to switch your laundry from the washer to the dryer, fill your tank if you're below 1/4, compliment yourself in the mirror, you gorgeous specimen, and as always, #protecttranskids

I've never hated living in Alberta more than I do now. But I refuse to let the obstacles, ignorance and hatred stop me from standing up for my kids and every other child out there who is going to be affected by the new anti-trans legislation. Every child deserves to feel safe and seen.
