I’m no meteorologist, but I am here to proclaim winter 2018 the longest. winter. ever. Winter lasted even longer than what I subjectively proclaim to be the longest pregnancy ever. My son had to wear winter boots so long he outgrew the pair he started the season with! My husband normally walks 45 minutes to…
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…
At our house, we luvz Stonz! All winter long, my kidz don’t leave the house without some Stonz on their pawz! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!) We are already committed users of Stonz’s Mittz, Toddler Booties and Trek Winter Bootz: I am so grateful to Stonz for creating mittens and boots that I do not have…
It is now our second cold-weather season living in YYC. And yes, people here do refer to Calgary by its airport code. In Montreal, you’d never hear people using YUL as short form for the city’s name, but here in Cowtown it’s totally normal. Calgary weather has been a pure delight compared to the two…
I love snow! It’s so pretty! It’s so bright! It makes that satisfying crunch when you first walk on it! Growing up in Surrey, BC, snow was a rare and fleeting experience. Living in Montreal, I soon learned I preferred a snow-covered landscape and -20° C with clear, sunny skies to the warmer but greyer…
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…
I received these items at not cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. Any corporate Mama knows it’s all about the pumps. And any stay-at-home/work-at-home Mom knows it’s all about the slippers. The Huddy Buddies slippers: the Louboutins of #MomLife. Except… I’m pretty sure Louboutins aren’t actually comfortable, and I hope that…
I received these items at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. My husband and I are two very different creatures. As my mother-in-law always reminds me, “opposites attract.” (My own mother would likely say: “You married your father.”) My husband is pragmatic about his shoes: one pair of dress shoes,…
This isn’t my first winter with kidz. It is, however, my first winter with the right gear for my kidz. Cub’s thermal booties when he was tiny were impossible to put on him due to a sewn-in lining (I could never get his uncooperative toes into the foot of the boots) and his first “I can walk…
I received these items at no cost to facilitate my review and make me more hip. All opinions and dorkiness remain my own. I am many things: sarcastic, optimistic, honest, hilarious…. but… “cool,” despite my most valiant efforts in high school, is not an adjective I would use for myself. When I received our Mommy…
I received these products free for review. All opinions remain my own. This past fall, Cub was rocking bright yellow Native Boots that kept his feet warm and dry and garnered some major fashion kudos from passersby. When spring was (finally) looking like it was around the corner, I knew I wanted to try some of…
Disclosure: I begged for, and happily received, this product free to facilitate this review. All opinions remain my own! You know that (terrible) Savage Garden song, “I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You?” Okay, well, if you don’t know it, you’re probably better off. My point is: I knew I loved Native Shoes…
