Life as a rural physician Mama in the backwoods of Northwestern Ontario
Summer is officially here! For you in Southern Ontario, I’m sure you’ve been enjoying 30+degree weather for some time. For us, however, our spring is late and usually it doesn’t really warm up until July. Even today (now end of June), the kids are… Continue Reading “The Good Life: Spring”
With desperation, I clutch my travel mug of wine while Alice clings to me, wailing away. Henry is running back and forth across the floor of the six-man tent, staggering like a drunken sailor, screeching at random and occasionally jumping on Ada who is… Continue Reading “The Joys of Camping (and Happy Father’s Day!)”
While all of you are enjoying the sunshine, riding your bikes and pulling out the spring coats and rubber boots, we are suffering through a winter blizzard. Over the past 24hrs, about a foot of snow fallen, surrounding us, yet again, in a winter… Continue Reading “Ski trips galore!”

It’s 6am on Christmas Morning. I am alone, in the dark, enjoying a quiet moment with my coffee. At 4:30am, I had dashed out the house to attend a beautiful delivery of the Christmas baby at our little hospital. When I arrived home, instead… Continue Reading “Winter Wonderland”
I am embarrassed that I have been so neglectful of the blog since this summer. Where has the time gone!? I have been working much more these days which means that my precious days off are spent at home enjoying the kiddos and neglecting… Continue Reading “Fall Fun: September”
More pictures of our balmy October & November, including our week-long visit to Vancouver where we travelled West for a medical conference. It was a wonderful week of amazing food, great learning (I know, I’m a nerd) and catching up with old friends. We… Continue Reading “Fall Fun: October & November”
