Visit our sponsor! For my two singletons, I bought cribs. My firstborn spent a bit of time in a hand-me-down bassinet in our room, but mainly he was in my bed. All told, he slept perhaps a month in his crib in his own room until it became a place to store laundry and cats. […]
6 Things This Breastfeeding Mama Has Learned About Bottle Feeding
I created this blog post as a paid ambassador with Philips Avent and PTPA. All opinions expressed are my own. You’d think being a third- and fourth-time mom I wouldn’t have much to learn. The basics of baby care, regardless of how many, ought to be pretty much the same, right? Well, the curveball of […]
When Time Equals Sanity: Baby Brezza Steri-Dry Steam Sterilizer Review
I’ve been told that having twins is a pretty logical business decision for a mommy blogger like myself. Naturally I did not plan it this way, but my third baby surprising us by being TWO babies has opened my eyes to a whole new parenting—and parenting gear—world that goes beyond just having double trouble. Being […]
Life With Twins: The First Month
Yes, you read that correctly. The Cub Twins are a month old! (Well, by the time this is written, edited and published, they’ll be even older than that!) Most of you delight in expressing your shock that my pregnancy went so fast and that the boys are basically ready to submit their college applications, but […]
6 Practical Tips for NICU Parents
I really had no idea what to expect when the Cub Twins were admitted to the NICU. Initially I was told their stay would be blissfully short—up to five days. I guess therein lies my first practical tip: don’t psych yourself up for a discharge date until you’re signing the final paperwork and loading baby […]

35 Weeks Pregnant and a False Alarm
Last Friday, at 34 weeks and 5 days pregnant, I had a false alarm. After spending the whole day cramping, I called my midwife, and we decided it would be wise to go into the hospital to get assessed. I’m under shared care by a midwife and an OB, and it happened that my midwife […]

32 Weeks Pregnant – Close, Yet So Far
I want these babies out! Everything is exhausting. Stairs are my nemesis. Getting the kids into and out of the car is my least favourite activity, and I avoid it at all costs. The good news is that we finally have our minivan! My dream of owning a Honda Odyssey has come true, my friends. […]
23 Weeks Pregnant … and I have to P!
I know that with my second pregnancy I posted blog updates almost every month. My last update this time around was at 12 weeks, so I am slightly behind! Honestly, it’s because I’ve been taking a chunk of my two weekly workdays (when Miss Cub goes to daycare) for napping. With her big brother in […]
12 Weeks Pregnant with Twins
A couple of weeks ago, I had a blog post in my head, but I was feeling too sick and exhausted to write it. Its title was: “Maybe I regret my third pregnancy.” You see, I was having a lot of thoughts that made me feel pretty ashamed. But I also knew that my thoughts […]
So I have some news.
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably know a few key things about me. I love to discuss bodily fluids. I am a die-hard shopping cart returner. I am nitpicky about grammar and spelling but always manage to insert typos into my Facebook statuses. I love Harry Potter and The X-Files. […]
