About Me

My photo
I am a mother of one with a background in public relations and communications, and a degree in Psychology. Before becoming a mom I was very career focused and traveled across Canada working for the Canadian Forces before moving to a job with the Yukon government in order to settle down. This blog is about my transition from working bee to full-time mom and maybe back again. It's also about what it means to be a mom and a home maker.

Kaitlyn goes to the dogs

Yesterday was the beginning of the 30th Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race and the teams took off from Whitehorse. Lucky for us, it was only -2, not so lucky for the dogs, who prefer to run at about -20. We bundled Kaitlyn up and took her down to Shipyards Park to meet some puppies and get in on the excitement. She loved meeting the dogs, gently woofing at the ones near the fence that were getting ready to run.

Unfortunately, even a warm day in Whitehorse usually turns cold when the wind is blowing and it's always blowing at the start line. We had about five minutes of absolutely miserable baby when she refused to put her gloves back on. All in all I think the excitement of the day was lost on her but the chance to meet puppies is always a highlight of any day for Kaitlyn.

"Oof, Oof!"

After a good cry she still refused to put her gloves on but we got her bundled up and warm anyways.
The only decent shot I managed to get of the Quest.
