Visit our sponsor! 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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Chicco Keyfit 30 Infant Car Seat Review
When I found out I was pregnant with my third, I knew immediately what infant car seat I wanted. Since becoming a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) in spring of 2017, I’ve learned a whole lot about choosing a car seat and have a handy shortlist in my head of the car seats most beloved […]
Layer Your Love Maternity, Babywearing & Everyday Sweater Review
Melanie Gallant, the seamstress behind Layer Your Love (LYL), is among the many Canadian momtrepreneurs I count as friends in my online social network. We’ve never met and may never meet, but we’re still connected by our mutual devotion to the #momhustle. When my daughter was a baby, she made me the mother of all […]
Planting the Seeds of STEM at Home
My husband and I are polar opposites in almost every way imaginable. While opposites definitely attract in our case, we got together in the first place because of one of the few things we share in common: a passion for learning. We both agree that were we to win the lottery (challenging considering we don’t […]
Feel Delicious in Cake Maternity’s Nursing & Pumping Wear
So I know the song “Cake by the Ocean” isn’t actually about eating delicious baked goods on a beautiful beach … but honestly, when I’m singing along to it I’m imagining cheesecake in my mouth and soft sand beneath my toes. Sadly, the closest I’m going to get to literal or figurative cake by the […]
Valco Baby Tri Mode X Duo Stroller Review: Room for two … or more!
I remember when I was pregnant with Miss Cub (my second and last child as far as I was concerned), and I debated whether we needed to upgrade to a double stroller. My son would be 3 when his sister arrived, so in the end I decided that our single stroller and a baby carrier […]
