This Week’s Super Mama
Monday 26th April 2010
This Week’s Super Mama is Katie Isaak a.k.a. Quinn’s Mom
Children: Quinn, 17 months and I’m expecting another baby boy in June!
City: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Profession: 8th Grade Learning Assistance Teacher
What’s Quinn up to lately? Quinn is a busy little blonde with big blue eyes and dimples. He has energy like I have never seen. He loves anything to do with water: baths, pools, puddles and even loves to pretend like he is washing dishes. He could throw rocks into the ocean for hours on end.
How has motherhood changed you? I sleep a lot less, worry a lot more and have more fun then I ever imagined!
What is your must have baby product? My Phil & Ted MeToo Chair and Phil & Ted Traveller Cot/Crib. We travel a lot and never leave w/ out these. The Cot is wonderful because it folds up small (even fits in our suitcase) and is UV ray protected for when we are outside. The chair is perfect for bringing to friends, having picnics or taking to restaurants. It folds up small and fits in the diaper bag.
What is the biggest challenge to being a working mom? Keeping up with friends. After work I’m just ready to get home and spend time with my husband and Quinn. I don’t want to miss out with the few hours I have before Quinn goes to bed. When I was on maternity leave I met with friends everyday for play dates but now it’s much harder to get together and spend quality time.
What is your favorite thing about being a Mom? All the sweet hugs, kisses and cuddles. I melt every morning when I am leaving for work and Quinn blows me a kiss goodbye. I think about it all day and can’t wait to get home to play with him. I also love watching him learn new things everyday. It’s so fun to watch another person discovering the world for the first time.
Your advice to new Moms: Enjoy all the sweet moments with your baby, they grow up so fast. Don’t stress about the little things. Love your kids with everything you have and make sure that everyday they know you love them.
