I don’t know about you, but it seems strange to me that all of a sudden, onesies become unavailable after 18 months (24 months if you’re lucky). I am a big fan of onesies and was disappointed when they became hard to find in larger sizes – until I came across Essential Whites (aka TodBods)! [...]
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. [...]
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!

“He shoots, He scores!” My husband, Yuji, is an avid hockey fan, and those words never fail to excite him. Not a week goes by that Yuji doesn’t play, attend a game or watch one on T.V. So, when I learned I was pregnant, it was my hope my child-to-be would share his dad’s passion. [...]
Late last year we had to sell our lovely house and because we’re not entirely sure what’s next for us, move into a rented condo. I had spent months planning and finalizing all of the decor elements of Little Miss’ room and I was heartbroken to leave the perfect little nursery I created behind. We knew [...]
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! [...]
Bath time started to get a little dull around here. Rubber duckie – check. Stacking cups – check. Tantrum when washing hair and no other toy would provide sufficient distraction – check. This was until I came across a really cool product reviewed at another blog site, Milliwik’s collection of floating playing cards. I managed to find them at half price on this site and went for the Sum Bodies pack – and they were a hit! [...]
We’re spending this week celebrating spring, and what better way to share all the great things about this season of renewal with your baby or toddler than with the sweet little book by Scholastic called Welcome Spring? [...]
I haven’t mentioned it here before, but for the last nine or ten months I’ve been suffering from Postpartum Depression and more recently, Postpartum Psychosis. [...]
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! [...]
Continuing on with the love-fest between my son and books – I’m always looking out for his next obsession. I find the best place to learn about great books is at my friends’ homes (those with kids, that is). This is exactly how I found out about the adorable and endearing book Where is the Green Sheep by Australian authors Mem Fox and Judy Horacek. [...]
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. [...]
Here at Spilt Milk Moms we are always looking for cool new products. But sometimes, as I evaluate the overflowing storage bins of toys in my house which my son intermittently plays with anyway, I wonder if we can just make do with what’s around the house. Hence this review, of the “non-toy” toys that may be lurking around your house, or ideas for common items that can spur the imagination. [...]
My son Quinn recently turned seven. When my husband and I made our pilgrimage to our favourite toy store, I was determined to find Quinn a toy that would challenge him, did not require batteries, and would would be fun to play with alone or with others. The first toy we saw when we talked into the toy store was Perplexus (some may call it destiny- I prefer to think of it as clever retail display tactics). As I picked up the box to try to figure out what it was, the shop owner explained that it was voted one of Parents magazine Top Toys of 2010, and they had been having trouble keeping it on the shelves. I was intrigued. [...]
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 [...]
