Not only have I had the opportunity to test dozens of strollers in my seven years as a parent and in the last three as a product reviewer, but during that time, I’ve owned four — yes, FOUR! — UPPAbaby VISTA strollers. The first one came in 2009 after we’d had a disgruntled year with…
Wheat Canada: spring/summer ’15
If there’s one thing we know for sure about springtime in Canada, it’s that we don’t know a damn thing. Will it be sunny? Rainy? Warm? Cool? Or all of the above in the same day? Yes, yes. Probably that last bit. So that means we need layers. Lots of them. To hit up the mall/park/movie…
Have a very KINDER® Easter!
What’s better than finding a KINDER® SURPRISE® egg inside of a Hollow (chocolate!) Bunny this Easter? Winning an Easter basket filled to the brim with everything you need to create one heck of a memorable holiday. But that would just be fun, right? KINDER® is going to take fun up a notch and turn it into amazing…

Wordless Wednesday: Aisabobo introduces luxury kids’ clothes
Stokke Steps system
If you have kids who are in the four to six age range, you’re probably facing the same dilemma I did: to buy a transitional dinner table chair or stick with a booster seat or just flat-out let them navigate a grownup chair on their own terms. Boosters don’t seem to work well for us…
Glama Gals Tween Spa birthday party
My birthday isn’t really very important to me. It’s probably because my parents never really made a big deal about it. Sure, I remember having a couple of birthday parties (one in my backyard in Cobourg when I was perhaps six; and one when I turned 12 that ended up in my parents’ basement, with…
Wordless Wednesday: Jenga Quake from Hasbro
Wheat Canada for the winter-wear win
The saying goes that there are only two sure things in life: death and taxes. But when you’re Canadian, you can add “winter” to that list. I’ve lived in Ontario for 36 of my 39 years on the planet, and winter weather continues to be unpredictable from year to year. As a kid, I remember…
