THE PRODUCT Babiators kids’ sunglasses, $25. THE GOOD Babiators look cool. Obviously, so-named because they’re kid-friendly aviator-style sunnies. The lenses are shatter-resistant, which is good news because my daughter is nicknamed The Terrorist with good reason. So it’s a good thing the frame is pretty bendy, too. Miss Q puts “virtually indestructable” claims to the…
Unboxing Rainbow Dazzle Minnie
A few weeks ago when we were invited to do an unboxing video of Rainbow Dazzle Minnie for Disney Junior, my kids and I sat down to decide how it would play out. Would The K Man and Miss Q be in it together while I filmed? Would Miss Q do it on her own?…

2015 holiday gift guide: for them and for you
These gift guides are a labour of love. I start working on them by late summer, and slowly but surely piece together the things I think you and your child will love. Brands and retailers don’t pay to be part of this — I won’t let them. While I do let them send me goodies…
Kick winter’s butt with Wheat Canada + STONZ
When I posted a feature on Wheat Canada’s outerwear last winter, my kids had only spent a few weeks in their snowsuits. Truth be told, I normally like to test things for at least four to six weeks (and often much longer) before writing about them to put them in as many real situations as…
Britax B-AGILE double stroller (guest review)
My name is Cheryl and I am mom to Mason (almost three) and Olivia (nine months). My husband and I, along with our two children, live in Bowmanville, Ont. I am a stay-at-home mom and we are always busy doing something fun, including trips to the Aquarium, walks to the park or just playing outside…
Splatoon for WiiU
Let me preface my kid’s video by saying that when we first got Splatoon, he was soooooooo excited and he played it enthusiastically for a couple of months. Had we recorded this video back then, it would have sung a very different tune. Then, when Nintendo announced there was an upgrade, we excitedly waited for…
Start saving for your child’s education (like, now)
I’ve seen my Dad cry twice. The second time was when we were at his mother’s side the night she passed away. And the first was as he said goodbye to me after helping me move into my dorm room for my first year of university — before driving away. Going to university was always…
Chicco Activ3 running stroller (guest review)
My name is Gillie. I am a 30-year-old Canadian mumma living in Vietnam. I met my incredible Kiwi husband in London, England, seven years ago and he has been my life and travel partner ever since. Our remarkable son was born seven months ago in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam — our home for the…
“SnapShots” from Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa
I’ve invested in family photography since my babies were in my belly. We’ve had maternity photo shoots, newborn photo shoots, first birthday photo shoots and annual shoots thereafter. Why? It’s not because we’re on an unlimited budget. Far from it. But if I didn’t pay someone to take our photos together, I’d never be in…
