120 weeks of being pregnant, 3 kids later and 6 consecutive years of breastfeeding!
.
Yup, that’s right I said 6 years of breastfeeding! Let me start by saying that never in a million years did I think I was going to breastfeed one of my kids let alone all 3 (well 4 if you count the child I donated my milk to for a while) and for 6 years straight between them all, but I did! So why am I sharing this? Not to say that breastfeeding is best and superior to formula feeding. It’s not to say that I’m better that the next Mamma who didn’t breastfeed as long as I did or didn’t breastfeed at all. And it’s not to say hey look at how amazing I am. I’m sharing this because this is part of my postpartum story and I’m damn well proud of it!
.
I would not be the woman I am today if I hadn’t experienced the challenges, struggles and sacrifice of breastfeeding. It was 6 years of self discovery and lessons learned. It was going from tears and feeling like a failure at times to knowing that I was able to give my little ones exactly what they needed to grow and thrive. It was a lot of emotional ups and downs. It was also many sleepless nights of thinking, I just can’t do this anymore but I did and didn’t give up!
.
So these breasts, boobs, tits...whatever you wanna call them are a big part of my story and I’m celebrating! Celebrating everything they were able to do and celebrating that they are once again mine hahaha!
.
What’s your postpartum story?

“A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin' in a winter
Walkin' in a winter
Walkin' in a winter wonderland” ~ Felix Bernard & Richard Bernhard Smith
.
And that’s exactly what happened last night! Life has been so busy and with being away and out of the country for most of November, I haven’t really had the chance to get started on all the holiday stuff let alone get into the holiday spirit...until yesterday at least! It was so awesome to step foot into the fully transformed @canadaswonderland and walk into Winter Fest! It was absolutely beautiful and just what I needed. The Christmas music blaring, the ice skating, the Christmas trees and decorations, decorating Christmas cookies with Mrs. Claus, the North Pole Post Office, the hot chocolate and so much more!
.
Thank you @canadaswonderland for getting me into the spirit, this was exactly what I needed!
.
Have you gone to check out Winter Fest at @canadaswonderland yet or are you planning on going?

“Love your life. Take pictures of everything. Tell people you love them. Talk to random strangers. Do things that you’re scared to do. So many of us die, and no one remembers a thing we did. Take your life and make it the best story in the world. Don’t waste it.” ~ Unknown
.
I used to wake up in the morning, go about my daily routine, go to sleep and repeat. That’s not living! Living is enjoying life and your time here on earth. It’s taking it all in, taking chances, having fun, saying no things while saying yes to others. It’s turning up the music and singing along at the top of your lungs. It’s stepping outside of your comfort zone and going for it even when you think you can’t. It’s jumping in with two feet and not knowing what will happen. It’s making mistakes, falling and then picking yourself up again. It’s following your dreams and believing in yourself when no one else does!
.
All of that, do it! You only have one life to live and it’s YOURS so start living it now. .
What was the last thing you did in your life that made you feel alive?

I came across this picture the other day and it put the biggest smile on my face. Aside from my family my greatest love has always been music/radio. It’s something I started in when I was 16 and still do it to this day and so when I came across this picture from 2008 it warmed my heart.
.
Today I’m throwing things back to my days at 102.1 the Edge when I used to book bands to come in and play for us. Working with bands was one of my most fave things to do and so today I share with you this other side of Pina. .
This is ME, doing my thing, living my best life and being happy as fuck...that smile is legit haha!
.
Oh and these fella’s? They’re @thereasonrock straight outta Hamilton! Such a great group of guys!
.
What’s your biggest passion in life? What give you purpose?

“And then one day, you’ll open a door, look out and everything will make sense.” ~ Pina Crispo aka @chic_mamma
.
It’s that moment when things just fall into place. All your hard work, blood, sweat and tears become worth it! People are carefully placed into your life for a reason while others take a step back. One day it just all make sense!
.
On a side note, I’m totally missing this view from the front door of my villa at @stonefieldvillaresort 🌴
