Jaime is a teacher, wife and mom to two little gals who are three and five. She loves photography and she’s super-crafty. Seriously, if you live within a reasonable drive of Courtice and you love all those cute little hair clips, bows and crocheted hats, this is your gal and I’m happy to put you…
Milk Diary breastfeeding top & other nursingwear
As I nursed Miss Q off to sleep tonight, convinced that she managed to skirt the latest flu – that took down the rest of her family and most of her neighbourhood friends – because she’s still breastfeeding and getting all those delicious antibodies, I wondered just how much longer this would go on. I’d…

Introducing: Kids Music by Marcie
If I had to choose just one extracurricular activity for my children, it would be a difficult toss-up between swimming and music classes. Swimming is a life skill. And a scholarship sport. Formally introducing music into your child’s life, on the other hand, is proven to improve memory and math skills. The folks at Kindermusik –…
LANA Natural Wear organic loveys #SafeSleep
I’d never heard the term “lovey” before having kids. Enter sleep training with babe No. 1 and introducing a lovey was such a core part of the extra-gentle method (from Good Night, Sleep Tight) that I wore The K Man’s teddy – one of those teddy bear heads with a small blanket for a body…
OM home organic cotton 2-in-1 romper & jumper (guest review)
Shari is a new mommy to a little girl, Mackenzie, who’s 5.5 months old.

Netflix: Just For Kids
I’m not gonna lie: we watch a lot of TV at our house. I was the kid who would wake up at 5 a.m. if I knew a certain movie or TV show would be on (before I could actually tell time), sneaking downstairs in the dark, sitting close to the tube so I wouldn’t…
Snug Organics’ 100% Organic Cotton Sherpa Sleeper #SafeSleep
We had dinner with my in-laws on Saturday night and Big B’s mom was telling me how she managed to find a pair of Angry Birds pyjamas for The K Man for Christmas. She said, “they aren’t a nice material at all but they were impossible to find here in Canada – I got them…
