Announcing the winner of our hello hanna monkey business book! www.spiltmilkmoms.com [...]
One of the drawbacks of buying the safest, fanciest infant car seat thatyou can find for your brand new bundle of joy is that it likely isn’t going to be the lightest one you can find. Personally, I was willing to sacrifice the ease and convenience of toting around a light infant car seat for the peace of mind of protecting the health and safety of my newborn son withy a fancier, heavier one. Thankfully, this time around, I have some relief coming my way in the form of the Angel Arm by Baby Henry Co. [...]
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! [...]
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 [...]
As much as I love spring, these days a little voice in my head keeps singing, “Rain, rain, go away!” If you live on the west coast, the only thing you can really do, though, is to just get out there with your family and do your best to stay dry, so I was thrilled when US company Baby Polar Gear agreed to send us their rain gear for infants to put to the test! When the Rain Poncho and Pants set arrived, we decided to REALLY see what it could do by sending the Poncho and Pants up to Prince Rupert, British Columbia, for our guest contributor Diana to try out. For those of you unfamiliar with Canadian geography, Prince Rupert has earned the reputation of Canada’s wettest city, with an average of 3111mm of rain (that’s ten feet!) per year. What better place to test rain gear for infants/toddlers? [...]
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 [...]
If you read my review last year you know I’m a HUGE fan of Sassybax – and what’s not to like? This is a company dedicated to making you look good! This year Sassybax asked if I’d like to give their Butt-Boosting Shaper a try. I’ll be honest, since Little Miss was [...]
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. [...]
Anyone who has been shopping for maternity clothes in the last decade or so knows that you have your choice of 2 different kinds. The frumpy flowery kind that makes you look like you’re giving birth in the 1970’s, and the awesome kind which lets you look modern and pregnant and beautiful. KSeraSera Maternity shirts are of the awesome variety, making me feel like a modern pregnant girl with fashion sense. [...]
 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. [...]
Looking for a unique way of expressing your love? Feast your eyes on this beautiful Tree of Love metal sculpture by Anvil Island Design of Nanaimo, Canada. [...]
I have been looking for a personalised necklace to celebrate Maisie’s birth since before she was even born. I didn’t want anything that screamed “family necklace”, or was too cutesy and it had to go well with my other day-to-day jewellery (a combination of Tiffany & Co, Hot Diamonds & Joy Everley Designs.) Shortly before Christmas I discovered Naomi Gray Designs and fell head over heels in love with the My Little Angel necklace (above) in silver. This beautiful necklace features a hand stamped heart with an initial, a semi-precious birthstone violette and the charming little angel wing – all on a delicate rope chain. [...]
