About

Thank you for stopping by My Soul Ajar!

I'm Sydney, a wife and mom to identical twin girls living just outside of Vancouver, B.C. I'm an writer, university English major, and running junkie, learning to adapt to life as a single mama.

Here on my blog you will find my heart; everything I love is in these pages, from hopes and dreams, to wish lists, travel goals, and book reviews. It is a place where I reflect on the twists and turns of my life, lessons I learn, and chunky pieces about my crazy experiences as a mom to almost 4 year old twins.

As some may know, my daughters were born prematurely at just 27 weeks, three months before their due date. They were two pounds each, had bleeding on their brains, holes in their hearts, and a host of other medical problems that are expected (yet no-less terrifying) for preemie parents. As much as I've tried to move forward from what happened to them, I've also learned that it is a part of our family history that left all of us a little scarred. In my writing I attempt to embrace this experience, and you will see it sprinkled through my blog in the same way it is my life.

One thing that has never changed is my natural optimism; I always try to focus on the positive, despite the unexpected curveballs life throws my way. I hope with my writing I can inspire you to do the same.

I love that you're here sharing this with me.
So get comfy and stay awhile... I'm always happy to make a new friend.
xoxo
