my name is em and i’ve finally settled down after years of rambling in alberta (never thought that would happen!) with my wonderful manfriend. we had our first bébé in july. and we actually haven’t technically settled down. we go where the work is…until the little peanut is old enough to go to school. so a-ramblin’ i’ll continue, except now there are three.

i never saw myself as a mama until i got pregnant, and now i can’t picture being anything but one.

i’ve lived in europe for three years (two years in france, and one in deutschland) and have been to every province in canada, including north of the arctic circle in the nwt. one might imagine it to be the most beautiful place on earth north of the arctic circle. and it is in some ways. in others, it’s actually quite barren in the land of the midnight sun. (or 23 hours of darkness in the winter, depending on how you look at it.)

i treeplanted for five long seasons, vowing each year never to return. thankfully, i finally gave that up, and put an end to the vicious seasonal work style of life. not long after is when i met my wonderful man and father of our bébé girl.

i love to bake chocolate chip cookies, and eat the dough, but i never eat them after they come out of the oven.

i speak french and sometimes remember some of the german that i learned when i lived there ten years ago, maybe enough to have a conversation with a two year old.

hungry mama
