A Holly, Jolly, Glittery Holiday Season

There’s something about glitter that makes me happy. It’s so shiny and bright, I can’t help but feel better when I look at it. This year instead of looking around for holiday decorations that were pre-sparkled in a colour I liked, I decided to add glitter to items I already owned.  It is super easy to [...]

Prince Hayden MacCheeky is a real little prince, who also happens to be a royal little pest, as well as the star of the MacCheeky series of books for kids. There are currently two books in the series: A Royal Little Pest and A Royal Little Pest: Mine!.

The stories follow Prince Hayden MacCheeky as [...]

Make Your Own Tear-free Bubble Bath

My daughter gets her beloved bubbles on the weekends, and when she does splash around in a bubble bath, it’s usually in a homemade bubble bath using ingredients that are gentle on her skin. The bonus to making your own homemade tear-free bubble bath is that it’s also super easy and is inexpensive too! [...]

Paul Frank Kids Wear

Paul Frank has been around for a long time, but it wasn’t until I had kids that I owned some of his products. Paul Frank gear is easily recognized by the very distinguishable monkey, Julius, that appears on everything in the line. There is an endless amount of products you can buy from Paul Frank, from adult clothing, to bedding, to handbags, to toys, to tech gear, to kids clothing. And it’s Paul Frank kids wear that I really love. [...]

Melissa & Doug Puzzle Rack Helps Tidy Up

The wooden puzzles from Melissa & Doug are wonderful, but they do pose a problem when it comes to storing them neatly. The pieces will fall out if the puzzle is tipped on its side, and the pieces don’t all stack nicely on a shelf due to the pegs, so I was happy to find that Melissa & Doug has a line of puzzle racks. [...]

Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns It’s OK to Back Away

My son has recently been going through some growing pains in regards to learning about dealing with emotions such as anger and frustration. I have found that he often responds to lessons from books better than direct talks from me and so I was happy when I stumbled across Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns It’s OK to Back Away. [...]

The Best of Martha Stewart: Halloween Handbook

The Best of Martha Stewart: Halloween Handbook is filled with great ideas for decorating, food, and costumes. If you don’t think you can draw perfect images of cats, vultures, rats and more, the book includes templates for many of the crafts described. However, I did some searching on the Martha Stewart website and found all of the decorating templates from my book on the site. [...]

Imaginarium Wooden Train Accessories

My three-year-old son has been in love with his wooden train set for quite a number of months, and I recently felt it was time to expand his set. Originally, we jump-started his love of trains with a couple sets of the very reasonably priced Lillabo track from IKEA, which Spilt Milk Moms reviewed in an [...]

Caring for Your Child’s Teeth

If you are anything like me, you won’t really think about caring for your children’s teeth until the first pearly white peeks through a tender gum; however, proper oral care should start the moment your bundle of joy arrives and will remain in your parental domain for many years.

Before Teeth Appear:

Even before your child has any [...]

Common Sense Media: Help to Sort Through the Media Wave

Up until recently, I felt that I had a relatively good handle on what types of media were age appropriate for my kids. After all they are still very young at (almost) 2 and (almost) 4 years of age. However, as my children have grown older, I’ve come to realize just how much media is out [...]

Zingo Game is Matching Fun

Now that my son is nearing the 4 year mark, we are heavy into board games to keep us occupied on a rainy day. I’ve mentioned that our favourites include the Busytown Board Game and Curious George Discovery Beach, but we also recently added Zingo to our regular rotation of games as well. [...]

Gossie and Gertie by Olivier Dunrea

Some of the best books for your children, are not necessarily the newest books on the shelf. Last year, I ran across a brightly coloured book filled with friendly animal characters that I thought my son would like, and so I bought it. That book was Gossie & Gertie by Olivier Dunrea. [...]

SEED Power Body Care: Shampoo Bar, Lotion, and Soap

As a mom, I feel like I’m constantly on a mission to find products that are natural and don’t introduce unwanted chemicals into the lives of my kids. I was interested to be giving the opportunity to try out the body care products from SEED. [...]
