Sleeping is one of those things that you don’t realize how precious it is until it is threatened. I certainly used to take a good night’s sleep for granted, thinking that a solid 7 or 8 hour snooze was a given, and waking up feeling fresh as a daisy. That is, until I had a kid. Those first few months of babydom are such a blur of exhaustion and near insanity for me… I remember so distinctly that feeling during one of many nighttime feedings that I was the only person awake on the entire planet. I am sure mothers all over the world can relate to that – if only we could all start texting each other in the wee hours so we wouldn’t feel so alone.

Anyone living in the northeast knows what I am talking about… We went from the most glorious spring weekend, where Jasper, Jeremy and I spent the entire time outside on our bikes and getting our garden cleaned up and planted, to the most disgusting torrential SNOWSTORM on Tuesday. Adios herb garden I put my back out planting on Saturday, sayonara beautiful budding tulips, hello shovel and winter boots… (too bad we took the snow tires off so early this year. Oops!) But now, it is beautiful out again. The snow is slowly melting, and it’s almost as if it never happened – and everyone in my garden has somehow managed to have survived the perfect storm, all but my poor basil 
Aside from this bizarre weather, this week also marks the one year anniversary of Hatley’s big move to their new office/warehouse in Lasalle. After 8 years in the garment district in Montreal north, the Oldland boys said it was time for a change, and decided to pack up every last Moose one-piece and Alien footed coverall from the existing warehouse and head down to a beautiful spot in Lasalle, right by the water, between the Lachine Canal and the St. Lawrence River.
