My 19 month old princess, Charlotte, has what I lovingly refer to as ‘giant baby potato head’, meaning that her lack of hair leaves her looking like an overgrown baby-zilla (in a nice way). I am dying for the day I can dress her up and braid her hair, but alas this seems a ways off. Even though she lacks flowing locks, though, she has a fuzzy bunch of dark hair that is becoming increasingly more unruly. There seemed little point in owning a baby comb until now, and luckily wonderfully innovative company Skip*Hop agreed to send me their Hare baby comb and brush set to try out just in time for it to become her Easter gift!

For those of you unfamiliar with hello hanna’s line of hello books, these clever, imagination inspiring sticker-based ‘create your own adventure story’ books are for creative kids aged four and up. They are a great way for your child to entertain him or herself on rainy days, during road trips, or anytime! [...] Introducing dringdring hand-painted bicycle bells! dringdring sells the most beautiful, creative, bright, artistic, colourful and unique bicycle bells I have ever seen. I don’t know who was more excited when the company agreed to send us one to try out, me or my son (I think it was me, actually). Each original metal bicycle bell is hand-painted in the company’s Montreal, Quebec-based studio, and I promise you that you will have a hard time choosing just one. The bells are painted using Eco-friendly paints without solvents or toxic fumes, and they are first painted and then baked, making them resistant to all types of weather. I love that the company has a local organization that provides employment to young people from a diversity of backgrounds to apply their base coat. [...] When I was a kid we always had a special pyjama bag to put our pjs in during the day. This meant that (a) they weren’t just lying around and (b) we always knew where they were when it came time for bed. I know it’s been a while since I was a kid, but when I hit up our friend Google to try and find one for Maisie I was at a loss – I came up empty time and time again. I turned to Etsy in hope that someone creative had similar childhood memories, and that’s where I discovered DesignLaboratoire’s PYJ-AMIS. [...] Measuring the height of my son is, for me, one of the great pleasures of parenting. It’s kind of like a measurement of how I’m doing as a mom to see that he is growing well, is healthy and happy, and that all the sleep interruptions are worth it. I recently came across the fantastic Canadian company Look Who’s Growing. They create personalized growth charts that will help me keep track of my son’s growth in a fun and seriously cute way! [...] When Canadian company Silkberry Baby told me they would send me one of their gorgeous Toddler Comforters with removable filling in Pink Sheep to review, I was delighted. I insist on having quality, luxurious sheets on my bed, and my curiosity was piqued about Silkberry Baby’s quality, all-natural Eco-bedding for children. [...] Remember back in the day when the hospital would give newborn babies little beaded bracelets in pink and blue with their names on them? Well, you probably don’t remember, but our parents sure do. My mother still shows me mine every once in a while. They’re cute reminders of days gone by to be sure, and [...] I carry a little notebook with me in my purse so I can write down any fun and cool things I come across in my travels so I can share them with you. The other day I sat down to go through them and to my surprise several of the items kept coming back to the same company Galison Mudpuppy. I’m going to review both arms of the company but today we’re starting with Mudpuppy. Here’s the first thing you should know – if you have a kid in your life you NEED to know about Mudpuppy. What do they do? Well a better question would be what DON’T they do – they have a whole whack of fantastic kids products from sticker books, to puzzles, to flip & draws, to flashcards. All of the items I’ve seen (in stores, at friends’ houses and with the items they kindly sent me) have been fantastic quality. [...]  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. [...] Ahhhh Valentine’s Day – how I used to hate you. You seemed like such a flake with your cheap chocolates and overpriced roses. Then I had child – now you’re my new favourite holiday. I’m not entirely sure how this metamorphosis happened but at the beginning of January one of my best girlfriends and I decided that we would throw a Valentine’s Day party “hosted” by our two little girls for all of their friends. Slowly and surely as I searched for ideas and resources I started to love this holiday as a sweet celebration of all kinds of love and if there’s anything us Moms know, it’s love. [...] |
