I’ve been going to Toronto’s BabyTime Show for years – since I was pregnant with The K Man. As you can imagine, it’s basically like a crack house for me: gear sprawled across thousands of square feet, every inch of it calling my name. I’ve always loved the idea of being able to try before…
Wordless Wednesday: fall fun
ergoPouch organic cotton & bamboo sleep sack #SafeSleep
If you read my review on the Grobag line of sleep sacks, you know I’m a big fan of the whole idea. I think sleeping bags help promote an ideal, safe environment in which your baby can get some ZZZs. We used the Grobag brand almost exclusively with The K Man, until the day he…
Wordless Wednesday: Happy Halloween!
Fou Furnishings & its organic bedding for kids #SafeSleep
When I decorated my kids’ bedrooms, I took great care to create décor that would last well beyond the baby years. It’s not that I don’t love Winnie the Pooh (and I also think there are very beautiful ways to use Pooh pieces in a nursery), it’s just that I’m kind of lazy. I like…

With Halloween nearly upon us, I wanted to introduce you to one great new product that will help keep your child safe; one candy alternative with which your…
Wordless Wednesday: Sock it to Me
Dream Designs’ bamboo/rayon all-season duvet #SafeSleep

Motorola MBP33 Video Baby Monitor
Like strollers and swim diapers, I’ve owned more baby monitors than I’d like to admit. I’d heard of video monitors when The K Man was born, but at the time, the quality was spotty and the night vision was poor. So my first monitor was a Safety 1st audio monitor. Crystal clear sound, great range,…
OM Home’s organic cotton crib sheet = sweet dreams #SafeSleep
Throughout this kids’ safe sleep series, I’ve written a lot about the reasons that organic sleep products can be so beneficial for your child – like eliminating off-gassing – and for the earth, by using products that are plentiful. This week, instead of starting off with an anecdote about something noteworthy from my family life…
