Visit our sponsor! Like a cloud. Like the softest, most luxurious pillow, fit for a princess’s royal bed. As Agnes would say, “It’s so fluffy!” When our Lilly&Frank one-size OBV fitted diaper arrived, the first thing I did was rub it on my face. Then I wondered if I could just use it as my […]
Omaïki H2Ö Swim Diaper & Swim Shirt Review
Last summer, I went on a mission to test out as many reusable swim diapers as possible. My favourite one-size model in the bunch was the Omaïki H2Ö. This year, they’ve made one slight design change, so I decided to partner with the ladies at Omaïki to do to a dedicated review of the 2017 […]
Layer Your Love Babywearing Coat Review
There are a variety of expletives that I might string together to describe just how cold it has been in Calgary this December. Alas, thanks to my stunning, custom babywearing coat from Layer Your Love, I get to tell you how delightfully warm Little Miss Cub and I have been despite ice crystals and wind […]
Made in Canada Holiday Gift Guide for Moms
I am someone who adores giving and receiving gifts. I am married to someone who not only dislikes gift-giving but he doesn’t even really like getting gifts! As my mother-in-law would say: “Opposites attract!” Opposites also have major miscommunications and disappoint each other from time to time, but it keeps things interesting! This year on my birthday, […]
Made in Canada Children’s Holiday Gift Guide
When shopping for children this holiday season, how about thinking outside the gift-box? I remember unwrapping multiples of the exact same toy on Christmas Day, and it’s almost more disappointing for the gift-giver than the child! You want to offer something they will love, something that won’t wind up at next year’s garage sale, something by […]
All About MakeMyBellyFit
You might have noticed by now that I really like babywearing. Obviously, I do it a lot. But I’m also thinking about it constantly. Is it too wet outside to tie up a mei tai in the parking lot? Should I use the Huggaloops so I can pop her out without removing my coat? Is […]
MoonLily Wellness: Holiday Gifts for the Whole Family
Moving to Alberta last year, I had some … shall we say … preconceptions about Wild Rose Country. I didn’t expect to find a thriving cloth-diapering and babywearing community, nor an array of homegrown artisans appealing to my “crunchy mama” sensibilities. Beef. Oil. Cowboy hats. That’s what I expected. Sure, there’s plenty of that (which […]
Silver Seedling Mama Metal Review
When I was younger, I recall being jealous of my peers who could wear cheap costume jewellery and not get covered in welts. I hated that I couldn’t wear the $5 multi-pack of earrings from Claire’s without enduring extremely itchy and inflamed earlobes. I resented that my sensitive skin meant I couldn’t rock the mood […]
Chimparoo Mei Tai Fit Baby Carrier Review
At the Calgary Baby & Tots show—where I was representing Öko Creations and Les Produits de MaYa at a local store’s booth—I also wound up talking a lot about Chimparoo carriers. Many parents and parents-to-be visiting the show had never used a baby carrier before, while others were wondering if something different than their current […]
Stonz Mittz and Booties: For Baby’s First (mobile) Winter
I love snow! It’s so pretty! It’s so bright! It makes that satisfying crunch when you first walk on it! Growing up in Surrey, BC, snow was a rare and fleeting experience. Living in Montreal, I soon learned I preferred a snow-covered landscape and -20° C with clear, sunny skies to the warmer but greyer […]
CuddlyWrap Review
The CuddlyWrap is a stretchy, organic cotton wrap made and distributed by the lovely folks at Canada’s AMP Diapers. Stretchy wrap-style carriers are an amazing option for squishy newborn babies, and I much prefer them to a buckle carrier with infant insert. Compared to a year ago, I am a much more experienced babywearer, and […]
Coton Vanille Evolutive Pants Review
I remember the first time I heard the term “jeggings.” My reaction to these leggings-jeans hybrid can be summed up in one word: NOPE. I was already adamantly anti-leggings. “Leggings aren’t pants!” was my battle cry. Considering I am currently writing this clad in leggings that are most definitely acting as pants, you might wonder […]
I Like Warm Butts and I Cannot Lie: Honeybea Bumwarmer Review
I remember my first winter in Montreal as a university exchange student. I had stupidly purchased my winter coat in advance, without input from anyone who had actually lived through a Canadian winter. You might say: Aren’t you Canadian? Hadn’t you already been through twenty Canadian winters by that point? Yes, and no. Yes, I’m […]
Easy Peasies All-in-One & Pocket Diaper Review
I received these products at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. When I first reviewed Easy Peasies diapers in March of last year, the only thing I disliked about both the all-in-one (AIO) and the pocket designs was that they were heavy on the microfibre. I loved that they were made […]
AppleCheeks One-Size Review
I received compensation and product samples to facilitate this review. All opinions remain my own. Cub was a big baby. By the time we tried our first AppleCheeks, he was plenty big enough to wear their Size 2 envelope cover, and he wasn’t even a year old! When he finally stopped wearing diapers earlier this […]
