We loved spending today brunching on this amazing taco pie by @pancancooks, good friends + a really fun swim w my little guy. 🌮🥧🥂❤️💦 (first two photos by @pancancooks ) #rumiMB #friendsandfood #brunch #bestsaturday
This photo represents me (happily) running away from toxic people/environments. I’m so grateful for the ones who showed up for me this week, cheered me on and the ones who ultimately turned my week around. Pay attention to those people. 💥👊🏽✨ #yourpeople #professionalallies #friends #courage #theoneswhoseeyou #whataweek #runningawayfromBS #iwin
When FB gives you a look back and your heart explodes all over again. How it zooms by even as you savour every second.💥♥️🥰 #rumiMB #threeyearsago #babyrumi #myheart #justlikethat #favourite #sweetmemories #stillsavouring
Weekend life. ♥️🏃🏽‍♂️🎨
It’s been three years (this week) since Lexie, my little soul soother, crossed the rainbow bridge. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her. I also see bits of her face (esp her eyes) on other doggies all the time. I wish Rumi had the chance to get to know her. 💔 #lexieluludog #missyouforever #dachshund #longhairedminidachshund
A restful Sunday. Quality time at home. Chalk drawing of an old streetcar for my little guy. A visit from a good friend. That was all I really needed today. ♥️ #rumiMB #simplethings #recoveringfromwintercolds #rest #home #love #quietreflection #chalkboardwall #toddlerlife #mamalife #manquilahome #wip #drawing #ttc #toronto
Apparently, recent run-ins with a bully in his class has Rumi responding with putting his hand up 🖐🏽 and saying “STOP IT!” then walking away and playing elsewhere on his own. The fact that another (three year old) child is already bullying him fills me with rage. He actually came home with bruises on his legs the other day. 🤬 I also can’t help but wonder what about this child’s life might be causing him to pick on another child... MY child. I thought Rumi’s response was courageous, confident and reassuring. He also feels comfortable talking to us about it as well as repeatedly mentioning the bully’s name. My hope is that he won’t have issues standing up for himself if/when it happens again. Are children just extra mean nowadays? If so, WHY?🤞🏽💞💪🏽 #rumiMB #herewego #mamabear #toddlerlife #strongkid #couragemylove #dontmesswithmybaby #martialartsinhisfuture
From a year ago today: For the first time ever while reading this book, Rumi pointed to the woman and said, ”Nana” (Mama) and pointed to the child and said, ”Nunu” (Rumi). This made my day. May we raise sons without gender stereotypes. Let’s impart emotional intelligence. Let’s normalize women as equals and allies. May we also raise children who love the skin they're in. ✊🏽#internationalwomensday #women #motherofsons #mamalife #motherhood #parenthood
Happy weekend, everyone! ❄️💖🌨 #rumiMB #toddlerlife #weekendlife #bestpartofmyweek #qualitytime #snowing #citybaby #winterlife #toronto #snowangel
A day off to take care of appointments meant I had a little extra time to spend with this guy. 😍♥️🥰 #rumiMB #lovehim #threeyearsold #savourthesweetness #toddlerlife #mamalife #citybaby #motherhood #goodmorning
