I’ve written before about how much I love reusable swim diapers. We swim a lot, so it started as purely a financial choice. I wasn’t thinking as much four years ago about disposables going into the bin and clogging up landfills. I was thinking of my bank account, which seemed to shrink exponentially with each…
Pump Strap hands-free portable pumping bra (guest review)
When I’m asked to review something that I can’t test with my own family, I turn to my Facebook page and offer my readers a guest review opportunity. These guest reviewers (a.k.a. parents) receive the products for free and get to keep them in exchange for their honest reviews. Like my own reviews on Mommy…
Beco Butterfly 2: it’ll give you wings…sort of
If you’ve spent any amount of time using a soft-structured carrier, you’ve probably at least tried to do a back carry by yourself. I admit, it takes practice to master it. Despite four years of baby- and toddlerwearing under my belt, I always choose to have Big B or my mom (or even a stranger at…
SnoozeShade: SPF cover & stroller nap aid
The K Man stopped motion sleeping when he was about three weeks old. For real. No more long car rides with a peacefully slumbering infant; no more liesurely strolls, winding through shops and bakeries. He slept in his crib, and that was that. Nighttime was rarely an issue (save for a couple of blips). Daytime…
Wordless Wednesday: Miss Q at the new Disney Store, Yorkdale
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…
