Visit our sponsor: By Sean Gallimore (aka Maman Loup’s baby bro) This year, we finally got around to doing a responsible adult thing—we got life insurance. I suppose it’s not a particularly exciting thing and generally wouldn’t have anything to do with watch straps, but in this case it does. And, that’s about as good […]
Best Straw Cups for Baby
Having never had babies that took bottles before, I turned to fellow moms of multiples to give me some tips on what to do for the Cub Twins when they were done with bottles. I have sincerely and truly (perhaps annoyingly to some) loved breastfeeding, but pumping milk and mixing formula in bottles was really […]
The Philips Avent Soothie Snuggle: The Soother-Loving Baby’s New Best Friend
This blog post is sponsored by Philips Avent. The opinions expressed are my own. If you’ve been following my journey from mom of two to mom of four, you’ll know the arrival of the Cub Twins brought all sorts of game-changing experiences my way. I suppose it’s an asset, considering my line of work, to […]
Keeping my Qool with the Joovy Qool
It would’ve been so qool to have had the Joovy Qool stroller from day one when we brought the Cub Twins home from the NICU. Luckily, I had another awesome Joovy product in its place, but once the twins were out of their bucket seats, the Joovy Twinroo stroller had to move on to greener, […]
3 Great DK Titles for Hands-on Learning
I’m really happy that my children share my love of books and learning. If my kids didn’t get excited about a trip to the library or finishing the next chapter before turning out the lights, I would wonder if they were truly mine! (And as it is, given the twins’ fair hair, eyes and complexions, […]
5 Reasons Marvel Super Heroes Are Just Like Me!
Let me make one thing clear: I really don’t like reading comic books. I get bogged down by the speech bubbles, and I am happier using my own imagination to illustrate a story. But I’ve always loved the idea of super heroes. I’ve always been fascinated by the almost soap-opera-like back stories, vendettas, imposters, secret […]
Grab a (Joovy) Boob for Baby!
I feel like such a noob. Despite using Joovy’s TwinRoo stroller and Room2 playard for almost a year now—and seeing their Scooter, Caboose and Balloon strollers pop up on my social media—I’m only just realizing that Joovy’s entire product line is named with a double “o”. Too groovy and soo cool, right? Joovy’s line of […]
Ardo Calypso Breast Pump Review
As the Black Eyed Peas once said: “Pump it! (LOUDER!) Pump it! (LOUDER)” Yes, pumping your breast milk can be a noisy affair. My husband has likened the noise of some of the electric breast pumps I’ve used to the lowing of a cow. I’ve tried without success to use an electric pump while on […]
Magformers: Give the Magic
What’s so magical about Magformers? Well, Magformers are the gift that just keep on giving. Ideally I’d like to tell you that they magically spew money at you every time you construct a wicked tower, castle, prison, boat, duck or soccer ball (the possibilities are endless) … but they don’t give cash, just endless, rediscoverable […]
4 Ferocious Books for Animal Lovers
My kids love animals, and so do we. I’d love to live on a hobby farm with a miniature donkey and some fainting goats. I’d love to have cats and fish and a guinea pig in the house … alas, we barely have room for animal books let alone actual animals with four kids in […]
BIBaDO: The Bib that Bridges the Gap {+ exclusive coupon codes}
A bib is a bib. Amiright? Sure, some have sleeves; sure, some have food-catching pockets; but you know what? None I’ve tried actually catch all the food and drink that a 7-month-old manages to swipe, smear, spill, spit, spew, smash and splash all over themselves and their high chair. From my first two kids, I […]
Welcome Your Kids to Mario Kart 7
“Welcome to Mario Kart!” If you read that in your head in the voice of an overall-wearing, mustachioed plumber, and were instantly transported back to a time before wireless remotes, flat screen TVs and devices more powerful than your giant (in retrospect) SNES console that fit in the palm of your hand … then you, […]
Cutie Patootie Car Seat Cover Review
When Lindsay’s first baby was in an infant car seat, Lindsay dressed him in his Michelin-man-like snowsuit or used a thick bunting bag to keep him warm in the wintertime. Lindsay didn’t read the warnings in her car seat manual about avoiding bulky clothing or adding aftermarket components to the seat that interfere with the […]
Math is Everywhere! Ideas for Practicing Measurement Skills at Home
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 let’s not let […]
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, […]
