O, Canada!

I am currently sitting on Air Canada, en route from Vancouver back home to Montreal, reflecting upon the incredible five days we have just had. A complete whirlwind of activities, line-ups, security checks and national pride, Jeremy and my time at the 2010 Olympics was truly an experience of a lifetime. And this flight is pretty sweet too… Ah, the joys of traveling without my 16 month old, Jasper (he stayed home in Montreal with his grandparents)! Miss the kid like crazy but it sure is nice to actually watch the movie for a change!

The devastation in Haiti is unbelievable. The indelible images on the news, the heart-breaking stories and unimaginable future for a country that has already faced such hardship and challenges is impossible to comprehend. Help is needed and every dollar counts. Hatley is donating 20% of all online sales from now until February 17th to the Canadian Red Cross to help with Haiti relief efforts. I know it is just a drop in the bucket, but it is something, and every little bit helps.

On a much lighter note, I have had more adventures in the exciting life as a new mother. After our whirlwind trip to Vancouver and Whistler, Jasper and I made our way slowly back to Montreal last week, with a 2 day stop-over in Toronto. Not exactly home, but at least we were back in the right time zone. The purpose of our layover was for Jasper to pose in the Hatley photo shoot for the Fall 2010 catalogue, quite a distinguished honour (with certainly a bit of nepotism involved!) And so begins my life as a stage mum… :)

There are a few things in life that I dread: a looming root canal from my dentist, the squeaking sound of styrofoam being rubbed together, a suspicious looking piece of sushi from the take out counter…  And now I have one more thing to add to my list: long plane rides with my toddler son, Jasper.

Plane travel with Jasper actually used to be relatively easy. Other than the copious amounts of baggage I could not (and still can’t) seem to leave the house without – huge bags packed to the gills, “essential” baby items, (yes, at 3 months, lugging the bouncy chair EVERYWHERE we went was a necessity) – flying with Jasper never stressed me out that much.  He would inevitably just eat his way through the flight and then conk out in my arms.  Even a solo trip to San Francisco when he was 5 months old (with a transfer in Denver no less) went relatively smoothly, aside from the discovery that many US airlines do not have changing tables on board (not good!)
