Ok, I will admit it, I worry about my appearance – especially as I get bigger by the day! I’m a girl with a short waist, and with each pregnancy my cute baby bump, quickly turns into a giant buddha belly. Although I’m just over 1/3 of the way through this pregnancy, when you look at me, you would think that I was further than half way! In a vain attempt to be cuter than I actually am, I crave sexy maternity clothes and undergarments. When I went online to find the sexiest nursing bra and underwear set possible, I came across the Elle Macpherson Intimates maternity line. [...]
I can finally let the cat out of the bag, or should I say, the bump out of my belly – I’m pregnant again! I don’t know about the rest of you, but with this second pregnancy, my belly was already bulging out when I was only two months pregnant. For a girl who likes to [...]
I currently am having a very difficult time getting Travis to eat anything that isn’t toast with butter, or bananas! You wouldn’t think that I would be having such a hard time given that his first solid food was broccoli, and he loved it! But alas, he has gone from super eater to super picky, so when I saw a bag of Ripe Kamoo Bars for sale from local company, Ripe Baby Food, I thought, “What have I got to lose?” Turns out, I needn’t have worried!! [...]
 Yes, that picture above is my new super cool and stylish diaper bag; I know you’re envious! But you don’t have to be for long because you can order your very own Maxwell Designs diaper bag too! Local Canadian mom/designer, Maggie Chilton, created her company Maxwell Designs just before her first son, Maxwell, was born. She was searching for a diaper bag that but didn’t see anything she liked, or that fit into her lifestyle. She wanted a bag that didn’t look like a diaper bag, and one that was not made of plastic or vinyl – something unique! It was then that Maxwell Designs was born. [...]
The other weekend I was fortunate enough to go to the Port Moody Farmers’ Market where I came across a fantastic local clothing line called Starfish Kidz. The line was the creative result of three moms who wanted to make unique and affordable clothing; they succeeded! [...]
Before the Christmas holidays we had a huge giveaway from one of my favorite companies, Broody Chick, to test out their Sniffs and Snuffles. The jury is in, and I think we’ve found a winner! [...]
GIVEAWAY! Have you ever thought about pulling your hair out and poking yourself in the eye at the same time as you wait and wonder how much longer you’re going to have to be in line at the border, or for the plane to start boarding, or in line at the grocery store? And all of these thoughts were there because you have a child, or even worse, children who do not like to be still, and so you’re trying in vain to think of things to keep their brain, and them, occupied. Not to worry, hope has arrived in the form of Spark Story Starters (available as an App or playing cards)! [...]
Those of you moms who are like me, working full time with a kid in daycare, you know that organization is key. So when I saw Innobaby’s Packin’ SMART 4 tier Stack-N-Seal set, I was interested and needed to know more! Innobaby kindly sent me their Packin’ SMART Stack N Seal 4 Tier Fruit/White design to try out for Travis’s lunch time needs. [...]
How much do we love Canadian company Broody Chick? A whole lot because not only are they a local company that aims to create environmentally friendly products that are good for the whole family, including those with sensitive skin, but once again they are pairing up with us to do another fantastic giveaway! [...]
I am always looking to find eco and baby friendly cleaning products that work, and that don’t smell funny. Recently I was sent two samples from Dapple, a baby-friendly cleaning product company, and was happy with the products that I tested [...]
If you’ve read my past reviews, you’ve probably noticed a common theme with me: a desire to find cool clothing for boys! Not to disappoint, Fig Kids is a Canadian clothing line based in Vancouver made from 95% super soft organic cotton blended with 5% lycra. They have both a boys and girls clothing line, and their products go up to size 8! [...]
If you have a son, or have gone shopping for little boys’ clothing, you know that shopping for them isn’t nearly as exciting as shopping for little girls. There is a limited market of cool apparel for young boys, and I get a little tired of the typical threads that are out there – after all, how can Travis show his unique style when he’s dressed like every other one year old?! Knuckleheads Clothing has changed my opinion on shopping for boys! [...]
When I was in one of my favorite local kids’ store the other day, I noticed a feature on a board book that had been written about Vancouver called Good Night Vancouver. Being the bibliophile that I am, I bought the book without even really looking at it. [...]
As September rolls around, many of you are preparing your children to go to school, and I am preparing to go back to work. That’s right, my time as a SAHM are over (for now), and I am back to teaching children that aren’t mine. This means that my time has become even sparser, and so I am glad to have found Mrs. Leepers organic gluten-free pasta boxed dinner kits! [...]
Okay, I admit it; I don’t always buy organic fruits and vegetables! I really try hard to buy what’s best for my son; however, being on maternity leave really puts a strain on the household finances, and so when I can buy five non-organic avocadoes for $3.99, I will! But I feel better knowing that I can use Nature Clean’s All Natural Fruit & Veggie Wash to help remove dirt, pesticides, and bacteria to get those avocados clean for my family. [...]
