5 Things that Help Me Cope with Seasonal Depression

February 23, 2023 By: Staceycomment

Seasonal depression

Did you know that about 15% of Canadians will report a mild case of seasonal affective disorder (or seasonal depression) in their lifetime? Eight years ago, I realized that the baby blues I had experienced with Boy #1 and Boy #2 weren’t passing the same way with Boy #3. So I talked to my doctor […]

The Ultimate Guide to Crisis of Confidence

February 16, 2023 By: Staceycomment

Crisis of Confidence

Cue the crisis of confidence. That’s what the past three years has done. I mean, motherhood in general is enough to take you down a peg or two. But can I confess something? (For the record, I don’t believe anyone has ever said no in response to this question. Because it often precedes some really […]

Monday Meal Plan- February 13 to February 26

February 13, 2023 By: Staceycomment

monday meal plan

There was some good that came out of the pandemic. Wait, wait, wait!! Before you storm out, just stick with me for a minute. For about three or four months, at the start of the pandemic, we were encouraged to go out as little as possible. Since HockeyDad was still responding to fire calls, the […]

The Comeback

Return to Hockey, Return of HMC

Ok, here’s the deal. I’ve been gone for years. I know it. If anyone else reads this on the regular, you know it. Or maybe you have notifications set up and this is suddenly appearing in your email inbox and you’re thinking “Who the hell is this and when did I sign up for this?” […]

A Letter To My Goalie

March 10, 2020 By: Staceycomment

My darling second born, You didn’t go into hockey knowing where you belong. It took three years of Initiation level and another two of Novice before you  donned the goalie gear and everything clicked. For the record, during Initiation, you refused any offer of play goalie for a game. And I wasn’t going to push […]

Life Lessons: Raising Humans, Not Hockey Players

February 20, 2020 By: Staceycomment

life lessons

This might come as a shock to some, but hockey is not the be-all, end-all to my life. We certainly don’t participate in hockey because it is the only sport we deem worthy. In fact, if I was given the choice, my kids would swim competitively. It’s warmer for those of us watching. No, our […]

Chaotic Meal Planning

February 18, 2020 By: Staceycomment

Meal planning

Y’all, I need to make a confession: I am always one unscheduled activity away from starving my children. It’s not so much that I don’t do any meal planning. It’s more that most meal planning systems don’t quite work for the chaotic schedule I keep. Thank goodness the boys are happy with a snack (or […]

Mind The Gap: Time Management for the Chaotic

February 13, 2020 By: Staceycomment

Time Management for the Chaotic

When we first started hockey it took me far longer than I want to admit to adjust. My previous time management method of time blocking took a massive hit because it relied on very specific routines or at least a predictable day. For the most part, that worked fine the first year when both Boy […]

A Letter to My Youngest Hockey Player

February 11, 2020 By: Staceycomment

hockey player

My dear boy, my youngest hockey player, Do you know how often someone tells me how big the grin on your face is when you are on the ice? They marvel at the fact that you play for 50 minutes straight and the smile never wavers. The same people laugh when you skate by me, […]

Stories from a Small Town: Living on the Wildlife Side

February 6, 2020 By: Staceycomment

wildlife

So last spring there was a whole bunch of talk in the local Mom groups because we had a bear in the area. I’m not going to tell you I wasn’t slightly concerned or that we didn’t take any precautions at all, but I like to think I kept my cool about it. We reminded […]
