Carousel Dreams CD (MoonDreams Music)
We’re a music house. Not a day has passed since we welcomed The K Man into the world that music hasn’t been part of our daily routine. Whether it was dancing to ABBA around our tiny living room in our first home, singing my special goodnight songs for each of my children or listening to…
Guest review: O.O.T.W. VIZI doll
When I’m asked to review something that I think sounds great, interesting or borderline ridiculous, but I can’t test with my own family, I turn to my Facebook page and offer my readers a guest review opportunity. These are moms and dads, just like you and me, who also want to see if a product’s worth its weight…
(HealthPod) baby: your baby’s health – organized
If you’ve gotten to know me, even just a little, you know that I’m a bit Type A. (OK, maybe more than a bit.) Although I’m actually pretty messy at home, when it comes to my work and my kids, I file everything. Even if that means scribbling on pieces of paper torn from a…
Manduca: German-engineered babywearing
There’s a lot of talk about “overstimulation” when it comes to newborns. But how about our toddlers? After all, all of that moving, running, pointing, screeching, chasing, tickling, bird-watching, grass-rolling, sand-eating toddler mania must get exhausting. And, now, with a nearly a 19 month old on my hands, I’m glad that I can finally understand…
Gro-clock: get your morning ZZZs back
There’s something about which every parent can brag. For some, this might be because your baby walked at nine months old or could count to 10 before 18 months. For others, it might be that your angel could use the potty before any of her little friends or that she spoke in perfect sentences by…

Check out the segment, followed by some more information about babywearing and each of the carriers I featured today – including how much…
My Brest Friend – your breastfeeding buddy
When I was pregnant with The K Man, there were some things that I researched to death before I bought them, while others were purchased with much more spontaneity. As I wandered through a baby store one sunny afternoon when I was about eight months along, I stopped in front of the breastfeeding pillows. There…
AquaMobile Swim School – lessons in your own pool!
To me, there are few better sports in which to get your kids involved than swimming. It supports the heart-pumping requirements that Health Canada reminds us our kids need; it develops good co-ordination; and, it can save their lives. (I also like the idea of kids making their own money, paying for odds and ends…
