When you’re pregnant, you’re bombarded with a lot of lists of things you need for baby’s first year. Trust me, there are many items you can most certainly do without, or items you don’t need to buy right away. Like most of us, I learned that the hard way! Obviously, there are items that you…
I received product samples and compensation in exchange for this post. No, no, don’t worry, I haven’t been hacked! This cloth-diaper addict is, indeed, posting about disposable diapers. I am often asked about disposable diaper options that are friendlier to the environment and baby’s skin than the traditional drugstore brands, and it’s something I’ve thought about…
I received these items at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. Soft, stretchy waistband. A single garment with multiple purposes and looks. Made in Canada. Makes me look like I made an effort to dress myself. GET. IN. MY. CLOSET. Meet the Halo All-in-One: Made by local women in Lethbridge,…
I received this item at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. Let’s talk kids and sunglasses. I am the kind of person who will go home to fetch my sunglasses if I’ve forgotten them. I cannot stand squinting, so if it’s even partly sunny, I’m wearing my shades. Kids need…
I received these items at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. Momzelle is among the many brands I wish I’d discovered when I was nursing my first child.

Sponsored post. This post contains affiliate links. How’s your French? If it’s pas très bon, my punny title for this post might not make sense. You see, Souris Verte means Green Mouse! And mice go “squeak,” and Souris Verte makes products to clean your family and your house … get it?! As you may have guessed…
This is a sponsored post. All opinions and tiny boobs remain my own. You may remember how the Milkies Milk-Saver was a total game changer during my first three months of breastfeeding.

Updated October 2023 Produits de Maya Liniment has been a revelation for me. Where was this moisturizing cleansing milk when I had my first baby? Probably still where all the cool things are: in France. Luckily, Marie and Yannick discovered oleo-calcareous ointment in speaking to friends from their native country, and decided to start making…
Sponsored post. Socks for babies are stupid. Socks on babies don’t stay put. A lot of baby booties don’t stay put either. Little Miss Cub loses her booties and socks mainly when I’m putting her in and taking her out of her high chair and when I’m wearing her. Babywearing Mamas like me are always…
updated August 2023 Sometimes I come across a product a bit too late*. I was looking for an item like the bblüv Nidö Mini 2-in-1 Travel Bed & UV Tent when Cub was 5 months old and we went to Mexico. Both on the sand and poolside, I struggled to keep Cub comfortably in the…
I received this item at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. I feel like I spend 90% of my days at home with Cub trying to find excuses not to play with him. I know this sounds terrible, but I know I’m not alone. Even if you’re not running a…
