Visit our sponsor! Time. Never have I ever paid so much attention to time than as a mother. Never have I ever used the word time so often throughout the day until becoming a mother. “Time to wake up!” Okay, I’m just kidding. Unless we need to leave the house in the middle of the […]
Modern Rascals: Putting the Kid Back in Kids’ Fashion {+ a giveaway}
Our kids’ wardrobes don’t have to be all fast fashion glitter and ruffles, superheroes and monster trucks … despite the impression you might get from a stroll through the mall these days. I was recently approached by Jana, owner of online children’s boutique Modern Rascals, and she opened my eyes to a whole new world […]
Souris Verte’s Haircare Line: No More Tears, No More Tangles {+ a giveaway}
My daughter has my dream hair. The colour is exquisite: a light brown with hints of auburn that could never be achieved from a box. She has gentle curls in stark contrast to the stick-straight hair on her brother’s head and the random wavy kinks that I so often iron out of my own locks. […]
LipSense: Facebook Fad or Real Deal? {+ coupon code & giveaway}
By Dani Jansen In my non-mom life, I’m a high school English teacher. One of my favourite parts of the job is helping young readers find books. There’s nothing more satisfying than getting the fit just right so the student devours a book in a weekend. What I’ve learned over the years, though, is that […]
The Keener Mom’s 5 Favourite Things about Back-to-School Shopping
When I was a kid, the day back-to-school flyers started to show up at our front door was a momentous occasion. Yes, I was the kid who couldn’t wait to go back to school … shopping. I would carefully cross-reference my school supply list with the items in the flyers and prepare my arguments in […]
Stick2Me Labels: The Only Labels You’ll Ever Need!
Cub is starting kindergarten in September, and based on our experiences in his various preschool classes, he’s as prone to losing stuff as … his mother. I still remember how annoyed my mom was with me when I left our brand-new bottle of fancy shampoo in the changing room after swimming lessons. Guess who left […]
Flying High on the Jasper SkyTram with Coton Vanille
Over the Canada Day long weekend, we made the four-and-a-half-hour drive from Calgary to Jasper for the first of many 2017 summertime adventures! Our Jasper trip was our first vacation during which Miss Cub was an active participant. At almost 2 years old, she is sturdy on her feet and a total daredevil. No more […]
PlasmaCar Review
As soon as the snow melts, we are ready to get rolling around our neighbourhood. I bought Cub a big-boy bicycle with training wheels over a year ago, and he has ridden it a grand total of … twice. He has a big, plastic tricycle that keeps him low to the ground, but now his […]
Wee Urban Dresses Rock our Wee World
I like to give my brain a really good intellectual workout now and then. While I normally occupy myself with questions like, “When was my last shower?” it’s always good to throw myself a bit of a curveball and wonder … what does it mean to be Canadian? For the record, this is the kind […]
Evenflo Sonus Convertible Car Seat Review
I’ve only done one other car seat review, and it was also for an Evenflo (the Symphony DLX). This is my first car seat review since becoming certified as a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) by the Child Passenger Safety Association of Canada (CPSAC). It was really fun to tackle this review and test the […]
Bummis Splash Line Review
I am terrible at keeping secrets, but I am frequently entrusted with them by my translation and social media clients. Luckily, I’m better at keeping business secrets than I ever was at keeping my best friend’s secrets in high school. When Bummis had me translating and revising their Splash 2017 catalogue last fall, I had […]
VTech Smart Wheels … even smarter en français!
It’s a bit weird to be the kid of a blogger. I mean, what four-year-old has a really firm grasp of what their parents do for a living? Honestly, I have trouble explaining exactly what my husband’s job entails. Cub knows I’m a blogger, and I’ve started to try to help him understand what that […]
People Footwear: For People, Big and Small!
Slip on, slip off, but never fall off. That’s the beauty of my children’s new shoes from People Footwear. “Mom, I like these shoes because I don’t have to do up any straps!” says my budding product reviewer. My not-quite-talking-yet toddler expresses her approval by bringing me her light lavender shoes and pointing at the […]
