My name is Ashley and I live in Courtice, Ontario. My husband and I just welcomed our first child to the world — a beautiful baby girl who is our pride and joy. We are truly blessed. She is a very happy little girl who only fusses when extremely tired; other than that, she’ll let…

Souris Mini spring summer 2016 collection
Although it kills me to see my littles grow out of their clothes, because it means they’re getting bigger faster than I’d like, it does mean that I get to go shopping. And we all know how much I heart shopping, right? I also love checking out new brands, and was thrilled when Souris Mini —…

Tail-Wags helmet covers
When we started skiing a couple of months ago, we already had helmets and goggles thanks to my tobogganing paranoia. Then of course we added all of the other ski essentials and started taking lessons at places like Mont-Tremblant and Blue Mountain.

Wash With Water Yummy Tubby shampoo & body wash (mini review)
THE PRODUCT Wash With Water’s Yummy Tubby shampoo and body wash for babies and kids, $14.79. THE GOOD I LOVE THIS STUFF! Most of the time, when we’re testing products that don’t contain questionable ingredients, they don’t produce any lather.

Family-approved ski gear
I won’t go on and on about how much we’ve fallen in love with skiing. (If you really want to know, you can read this post or this one or this one.) But for anyone who’s considering skiing — especially with your kids — know that there are two essentials to making it work well:…
