New beginning! New dayhome!
I'm doing this post a bit quickly, lack of time at the moment, but I want to start writing again and have it as a base for our new dayhome too. I didn't use my blog for a while, like two years already!
We are starting a new chapter of our lives. After moving around a bit, we settled in St-Albert, really close to my husband home town, Legal. It is nice to be close to the family again and having the cousins play together. We decided to have more kids so I'll be home for another few years. Time to have a dayhome again and have some friends for my little boys!
I love kids, which is a good thing since I have 6! I love planning activities and seeing them smiling.
Our new francophone dayhome is called Six Elements. The name works in French and English, it fits with our six kids and it's also the 6 main elements in our body so it represent everyone in the dayhome!
I am from Montreal and moved to Alberta in 2002. I met my husband shortly after and we've been married since 2006! My husband is fourth generation French-Albertain! We have six beautiful children born in '01, '05', '07, '09, '15 and '17. We have 2 in school, 2 homeschooled and the two boys.
I've had a dayhome for about 10 years and I am looking forward to start again!

First post ever!
Wow, that's it. I made it. I have created our first family blog. It's not like Facebook, where I sneak a bit on other people, no. This is to write our story, our journey, to share our experiences and meet new people. To discover the world with everyone. I always thought that traveling is the way to grow and develop a certain respect for life. It's especially important that my kids get that respect and discover that they are not the center of the world. We are now getting ready to embark on a new adventure!
Maybe I should start by presenting ourselves. There is my husband, the Man, the type of guy that can fix anything. Not the sports fan, or the wanna be handy man. A real man who knows how to use tools as much as talking to kids and doing positive reinforcement. He grounds me, which is pretty neat since he is an electrician too. :-) He loves everything related to new technology, being off grid and not depending on anyone. Oh, and also not spending too much!
We have three daughters together and one daughter from a previous relationship. I thought about giving their age but it would make more sense to go with their birth year. So Mimi, 13, 2001, is a little adult in child's body. I'm not sure if this is a good thing during teenager's year but so far it has been incredibly easy and enjoyable. Mina, 8, 2005, is always in her own fantasy. She went through a few medical problems but it could always be worst. She is sweet and has a never-ending imagination! Lily, 6, 2007, is a wise girl. We often get the comment that she is wise beyond her years or that she is an old soul. Really happy but knows way too much about the world around her. She has been sick too and I'm told it can happen when kids go through a lot. Clo, 4, 2009, is a fully energetic girl! She is completely different than her sisters and gets in way more trouble! I don't know if it's the baby syndrome...
Than there's me, weird, indecisive and taking care of the whole bunch! People consider that I change my mind often, others, probably to be more positive say that I can adapt to a lot of situation. I have a hard time deciding because I want to do everything! I want a regular safe life in a nice house where we will grow old but I also want to live in a RV and go travel the world. I want to live in the city for the action and the proximity but I want to live in the country for the peace and quietness. I want a regular job where it doesn't overflow on my family life but I want an exciting job where I am challenged and that I can do from anywhere.
Why is it so hard to have everything in life? Actually why is it hard to have everything at the same time?
I invite you to embark on my ever changing life, my "scratch your head" adventures, and let me know what your impressions and advice are. Are we the only one who wants everything from life?
Please, pardon my English!
