What You Missed On Social Media: Spring Came
We think you might be interested in some of our favourite social media posts. That’s where we share glimpses of our real lives beyond the blog. To save you the trouble of having to search our social media accounts, here are some of the highlights from April and May.
Social Media Conversations With Peachy
We have a bit of a series happening on Twitter where we share some words of wisdom from Peachy. These are real conversations. Peachy is 3 years old now and she has a lot to say.
Peachy: Mommy. I don’t have wings.
Mommy: No you don’t.
Peachy: But why?
Mommy: Birds have wings. You’re a person.
Peachy: But I want to fly.
Mommy: Sorry honey but you’re not a bird.
Peachy: cries inconsolably for 5 minutes

Where did our house come from mommy? Was it #Walmart ?
Peachy loves #shopping with #mommy. Guess our favorite store. #mommyandme #mommysgirl

Peachy sniffs Clementine’s foot.
Peachy: Pee-eww!
Mommy: She had a bath last night. She’s not stinky.
Peachy goes in for another sniff.
Peachy: Pee-eww!
Mommy: What does she smell like?
Peachy appears deep in thought.

Peachy: When I get bigger, then I can reach things. I’ll be able to reach everything. Even the moon.#growingup #kids #ToddlerLife #toddlers #toddlerlogic #toddler #funnykids #dreambig

You know it’s been a long #winter when you put your #toddler in short sleeves and she says “Mommy. My arms are out.” with a puzzled look on her face.#kids #spring #family #readyforsummer #funny #funnykids

Peachy: Can we go to the #moon today?
Mommy: No #baby.
Peachy: Why not?
Mommy is trying to figure out how to explain the difficulty of space travel to a 3 year old.
Peachy: We don’t have a rocket. You need a #rocket to go to #space and the moon is in space.#stunned #parenting— Peachy and Clementine (@peachy_diary) May 20, 2019
Mommy returns from grocery shopping and Peachy runs up to greet her.
Peachy: Mommy, you’re back! I always love it when you come back.#motherhood #momlife #moms #mommysgirl #mommy #kids #parenting

Instagram Photos
We’ve had our Instagram account for a long time but we haven’t been active on it until recently. We’re finally embracing this platform to share some of our photos and show you what we’re up to.
We started posting photos in the spring. It all began with our garden cleanup. Of course Peachy had to help. She’s not afraid to get her hands dirty and she loves digging.
This spring Clementine has been discovering our backyard. At this time last year she was brand new and not quite aware enough to realize how big her world really is. This year she’s ready to learn and experiment with every new thing that crosses her path.
We had planned a visit to grandma and grampa’s house for a campfire and marshmallows but sadly it fell through. We had to improvise and roast marshmallows on the BBQ. Not quite the same experience but Peachy still loved it.
Of course once the marshmallows were ready it was time for the s’mores! This was Peachy’s first time eating the deliciously sticky treat. She loved it.
Mommy discovered a Peppa Pig cookie house that never got made for Christmas. Luckily those things have a long shelf life and there were still several months before it expired. So we turned it into a spring house instead. We swapped out all the Christmas themed decorations and used some stuff from our pantry such as butterfly sprinkles and silver balls. Considering that fact that Peachy was starting to eat one corner while Mommy was putting on the finishing touches, I think it turned out alright.
When dandelions bloom, they can put on quite the show. It just so happened that they were if full bloom at the park when we were walking through on the way home from the library. They may be weeds but in great numbers they’re actually quite beautiful. Peachy enjoyed picking the pretty “flowers” and Clementine watched from her stroller quite amazed by the whole thing.
Peachy is delighted to have her bubble wands back and this year we got her a bubble gun at the dollar store. Money well spent! She can spend hours running around in the backyard just making bubbles and popping them. Peachy feels that Clementine is now old enough to discover bubbles for herself and she insists that she must make bubbles for her little sister to pop. Clementine has no objections.
Random Tweet
Mommy just couldn’t keep the frustration inside anymore. The truth had to be said!
Every day the #icecreamtruck drives down our street. It doesn’t stop, doesn’t slow down, and makes no attempt to sell #icecream. It’s sole purpose is to torment #children and their #parents. #parenting #summer #kids #crying #toddlers #toddlertantrums

Your Instagram pictures are so lovely. I love the Peppa Pig gingerbread house, my two girls would go crazy for it. I think I will make one with them this Christmas. Of course I already know they will constantly try to eat the raw dough but I guess that is all part of the fun! #KCACOLS
