Visit my sponsor: When our kids are ready to be hardcore #adulting, they may not need the Pythagorean Theorum to make it through the day … but they are going to need to understand measurements. Granted, there’s an app for that, and there will likely be a better app for it in fifteen years, but […]
4 of My Favourite Things About Fall
A famous Canadian once said, “Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” And this October, Calgary took away my crunchy autumn leaves, my unfrozen pumpkins and my socks-are-optional fall wardrobe and replaced it with 33 cm (13″) of snow in one day. On the bright side, […]
Bily Compact Easy-Fold Stroller Review
There is very little about navigating the world with twins that is convenient: When everyone wants a chance to snuggle their grand-nephew, it’s handy to have two. I have double the chance of getting a decent photo for product reviews. I can usually use “I just had twins” as an excuse for minor faux pas. […]
Chicco KidFit Booster Review
Is your child ready for a booster? Whenever I review a booster seat, the first thing I want to make sure everyone understands is that you do not need to rush your child into a booster. Children must be consistently 40 lb (18 kg) and at least 38″ (97 cm) tall to use the Chicco […]
My Favourite Winter Gear for Moms & Kids … from Head to Toe!
Winter is coming. Or, if you’re in Calgary, winter came a few days ago! The right gear can really help you survive the cold months, even if you’re more a friend of fair weather. Snow and freezing temperatures make getting out of the house a challenge, so hopefully these products will help your kids stay […]
Why We’re Still a Live Clean Family After 6 Years
One day when I’m an empty-nester, I’m sure the smell of Live Clean Gentle Moisture Tearless Shampoo & Wash will bring me right back to the joys (and trials) of my life as a mom of four young children. I first bought this multipurpose baby soap six years ago when my son was wee, and […]
8 Family Halloween Costume Ideas
I got so many great sibling costume submissions that included the parents that I decided we also needed a post with themed family costume ideas! 1 – Alice in Wonderland brings endless inspiration! Off with their heads! 2 – Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark! 3 – Mario has a massive entourage, there’s something […]
15 Sibling Halloween Costume Ideas
If you have more than one kid, or you can borrow an extra kid or two, you’re going to need themed Halloween costumes! Whether you’ve got twins, triplets or they came out one at a time, the possibilities are endless. Thanks so much to all my Maman Loup readers for submitting their children’s costumes for […]
Mother ease Wizard Uno All-in-One Cloth Diaper Review
After six years with my finger on the pulse of the cloth diaper industry, it takes a lot to impress me. I know what I like, I know what works, and I’ve tried pretty much all the brands that are available to Canadian shoppers. Mother ease has been on the periphery of my cloth diaper […]
How to Choose the Right Car Seat for Your Child
Child restraints are unlike any other piece of baby gear you will ever buy. Unfortunately, most stores and most salespeople assist parents in their car seat shopping just like they would when recommending a crib, high chair or stroller. What features do you want? What do you want to spend? Here you go! Alas, if […]
7 Games to Play with Your Kindergartener
I strongly dislike enacting imaginary fight scenes with action figures, playing hide and seek or climbing the playground with my kids. I’m a big proponent of letting my kids entertain themselves and letting them be bored, but I find this works best when they still get their fill of quality interaction with me during the […]
Gustine Evolution Baby Carrier Review
It’s incredible to me how quickly products and trends can come and go in the world of baby and parenting gear. My first child has just turned 6, and the babywearing and cloth diapering worlds alone have evolved almost as much as he has. To be fair, I’m likely a bit more attuned to the […]
Viva La Mama Softshell Babywearing Jacket Review
Before I knew I was expecting twins I was surprised to notice my clothes getting tight much earlier than with my previous two pregnancies. I chalked it up to it being my third pregnancy. It did not (for even a millisecond) occur to me that this fast-growing baby bump was housing twins. My first two […]
8 Ways to Help Young Children Build Study Skills [before they need them]
First things first: I am by no means about to tell you that your kindergartener should be spending their free time studying for their SATs. (We don’t have SATs in Canada, but you know what I mean.) The most important learning young kids can do comes through play, and I’m not suggesting that kids should […]
Ameda Finesse Double Electric Breast Pump Review
With my firstborn, I had a manual pump that I used occasionally so I could make bottles he never drank when I’d leave him home with someone else. With my second, I had a manual pump and an electric pump, and since she also wasn’t into taking bottles, I became a committed donor to my […]
