When a mom-friend of mine from Miss Q’s Kindermusik class mentioned she was starting a birth, just born and breastfeeding photography business – called At First Sight Birth Photography – I wanted to see her work. As soon as I did, I offered to find her a guest reviewer because I want everyone in the GTA to know about this talented…
Crest 3DWhite Whitestrips contest
My family aside, there are two things with which I’m slightly obsessed: white teeth and the red carpet. If you’ve ever thought of trying Crest Whitestrips, I’m here to tell you that the product has really improved over the years. The new 3D Whitestrips are as intensive as many of the professional whitening processes out…
GoFreshBaby reusable baby food pouches
I mentioned in a BLW (baby-led weaning) piece that I wrote for the Huffington Post that I made all of The K Man’s baby food purées from scratch. And – believe me – I’m no domestic goddess. (Just ask Big B and he’ll tell you that he’s the domestic one.) I was just one of…
BabyBjörn Booster Chair
We have long believed that our kids should sit pulled up to the table. It’s one of the main reasons we bought two IKEA Antilop high chairs – because once you remove the tray, it’s perfect table-height and makes even wee babies feel like they’re part of the meal. And, boy, have those $25 high…
Yada Tiny Traveler Baby Monitor for Your Car
Melissa is a Vancouverite with two kids (a girl, 4, and boy, 7 months) who says she lives in a tiny shoebox! (That’s Vancouver for ya, right?!) A nurse by trade, she works casually as a prenatal instructor and takes care of families with high-risk pregnancies. That’s when she’s not on maternity leave, of course. She’s still trying to wrap her…
The Original Baby Ankees to the sleeper rescue!
My son has an unnaturally long torso – just like his Daddy, who at 6’6″ only has a 36″ inseam. Since birth, The K Man has always worn at least one size larger on top than on bottom. I’ll never forget having to put him in 12-18 month sleepers when he was four months old because…
The Golden Opportunity of Child Development (DVD)
If you’re classic Type A, my guess is that you read everything you could get your hands on when you were pregnant with your first baby. I know I did. Books about sleep, books about age-appropriate stimulation, books about introducing solids, books about discipline, books about developmental milestones. But despite all the books, I’ve made –…
Tea Collection children’s clothing: South Africa-style spring collection
With spring collections called On the Savanna and African Indigos, you know you’re in for daring colour combinations and stunning prints from Tea Collection. Miss Q, the lucky lady, was sent several pieces from the spring line and I really can’t help sharing our little fashion shoot. She loves – and I mean loves – to…
Wordless Wednesday: Miss Q’s first day of preschool
ViNCi Tab II & Tab II M Early Learning Tablets
A funny thing happened the other day. I moved our old Mac desktop to a kid-sized desk in our play room. Miss Q, now two, beelined for it and – intuitively and immediately – ran her tiny finger across the screen. She didn’t touch the keyboard or inspect the mouse. She made an unmistakable tablet-worthy…
