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…
(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…
Wordless Wednesday: Backstage glam at The Morning Show
The Morning Show (with Liza Fromer): babywearing recap
Thanks to those of you who tuned in to The Morning Show with Liza Fromer on Global TV this morning! What a fun segment, talking about one of my favourite things: babywearing. Check out the segment, followed by some more information about babywearing and each of the carriers I featured today – including how much…
BOBA 3G carrier: Oh, Soho good
It’s not uncommon to see me wandering through the aisles of my local Chapters store (or grocery store or The Home Depot…) with one hand tucked inside a soft-structured carrier, Miss Q nursing contentedly. There is simply no easier way to nurse a toddler on the go than while babywearing. As any mom who’s breastfed…
Simple Wishes hands-free pumping bra (guest review)
Every now and then I get asked to review something that doesn’t quite work for me – either it’s for the wrong age or it’s for something related to pregnancy or a stage of breastfeeding that no longer applies to me. Instead of turning down opportunities to introduce you to new products, and help determine…
ergobaby Aussie Khaki: Dad-approved
Welcome to the first in a series of toddler babywearing reviews (which made its debut at Pink and Blue Baby Magazine last week). If you’ve read my first ergobaby review or followed any of my ramblings on Facebook or Twitter, you know that I’m a die-hard, fully obsessed babywearer. And with all of the hoopla about “attachment parenting” these days (cough, cough – TIME…
DivineMama lactation bars
If you’ve ever nursed a milk-guzzling, pre-solids baby, you know the kind of craving I’m talking about. It’s that after-dinner-before-bed (and, likely, middle-of-the-night) relentless peckishness. And not just anything will do – it has to be satisfyingly delicious. And, in my case, has to feel a little sinful. Sadly – not for my taste buds,…
Sport-Brella – beach-y keen!
When Miss Q was five months old last summer and I was riddled with guilt about putting sunscreen on her one very sunny day, I sent Big B out the following weekend to buy a beach umbrella. With a copy of the Canadian Tire flyer in-hand, and two circled umbrella options (one for $19 and…
