A Refreshing Summer with Tea Infusions

Naturally sweetened using cane sugar instead of artificial sweeteners, Tetley Tea Infusions are concentrated packages of syrup which you add to cold water for an instant ‘iced’ tea beverage. There are four fabulous tea-based flavours to choose from: Green Tea, Pomegranate, Lemon, and Blueberry. Each of them is refreshing and delicious! One box contains six 30ml sachets of Tea Infusions, and each sachet has enough syrup to be mixed with 500ml (two cups) of cold water. [...]

Spilt Milk Mom Sippy Cup Guide

The sippy cup: a necessary evil. I’ve tried a lot of sippy cups. I’ve decided to expand and update on an older Spilt Milk Mom sippy cup post to create a new Sippy Cup Guide filled with current up-to-date information. I’ve wasted my money so you don’t have to. [...]

Much More Than Just A Cup Of Coffee

Recently my husband and I splurged and purchased a Nespresso machine. We figured that good coffee and raising a child go hand in hand. I had been introduced to one a few weeks prior, by a friend who had expressed her love for her machine. She was so fond of it, she had taken it with her when she last went on a trip to Seattle. I decided, if my friend couldn’t be away from her coffee maker for a night, it must be good. I was right and lucky for me, it wasn’t hard to convince my husband. This would be a fabulous gift for Father’s Day. My husband loves ours.

I Heart Heart Joseph Joseph

One of my favourite things about travelling is the search for products and ideas we don’t have here at home. I was in the UK last March and I fell in love with the absolutely gorgeous and colourful kitcehnware by London design darlings Joseph Joseph. When I got home I immeadiately contacted them to find out where I could get my hands on them and I was very kindly sent the nesting bowls (above) and the Index Chopping Boards (below). [...]

Dorset Cereals

For months now I have been walking by the beautiful packages of Dorset Cereals on the shelves at my local grocery store, and while I’ve often stopped to admire their stunning, unique packaging, I hadn’t actually worked myself up to making a purchase. This is because I actually make my own muesli-type cereal at home, but now that I’ve actually tried Dorset’s line of tasty cereals, I can tell you that those days are over! [...]

Food (Not So Glorious?) Food!

A couple of months ago my husband and I sat down to watch the Academy Award nominated documentary Food Inc. thereby instantly altering the way we were eating permanently. I believe that all parents should be made to watch this film because it is so shocking and terrifying AND WE CAN ALL DO SOMETHING ABOUT I!!! I can’t think of another time that my entire life was changed by a small piece of media. Since watching the film we’ve significantly cut back on the amount of meat we eat (we ate a lot of chicken before this film and now maybe eat it a couple of times a month) and we’re choosing quality (i.e. organic) meat over mass produced. I’m also buying more organic veggies but to be honest because money is an issue as well I’ve been tending to stick to organic veggies for Little Miss’ food and regular ones for us – I figure you’ve gotta start somewhere!

Have you ever stood in front of the fridge holding the deli meat you purchased last week and wondering if it was still safe to eat? This happens to me ALL the time, and usually I err on the side of caution and toss items that make me suspicious. With two small children in my house, it’s my responsibility to worry about their health and safety full-time! [...]
