I’m not just a product junkie when it comes to gear. I am an equal-opportunity consumer. Skincare and makeup are also on my list of Things That I Have Too Much Of. I know it’s a problem, but I love comparing brands and trying new products that promise to make any part of my face…

LANA Natural Wear organic loveys #SafeSleep
I’d never heard the term “lovey” before having kids. Enter sleep training with babe No. 1 and introducing a lovey was such a core part of the extra-gentle method (from Good Night, Sleep Tight) that I wore The K Man’s teddy – one of those teddy bear heads with a small blanket for a body…
OM home organic cotton 2-in-1 romper & jumper (guest review)
Shari is a new mommy to a little girl, Mackenzie, who’s 5.5 months old. While she’s living it up on maternity leave, her husband is at teacher’s college (a brave time to go back to school, if you ask me!). Shari asked me to point out that she’s won an organic duvet and cloth diapers from Mommy Gearest,…
Snug Organics’ 100% Organic Cotton Sherpa Sleeper #SafeSleep
We had dinner with my in-laws on Saturday night and Big B’s mom was telling me how she managed to find a pair of Angry Birds pyjamas for The K Man for Christmas. She said, “they aren’t a nice material at all but they were impossible to find here in Canada – I got them…
Skylar Luna organic pyjamas #SafeSleep
I know it’s crazy, but I like my kids to look just as adorable when they’re asleep in bed as they do during the day. There’s just something about seeing them run around our second floor in cute little jammies – trying desperately to extend the bedtime routine by jumping on beds, chasing each other, wrestling…
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…
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…
Naturepedic waterproof mattress protector pad #SafeSleep
The K Man didn’t move into a big boy bed until he was well past his fourth birthday this year. Part of this was his own hesitation about leaving the comfort of his little toddler bed, which – to him – still felt so much like the crib he’d loved for more than three years…
Soma Organic Mattress set #SafeSleep
I don’t believe in going organic at all costs. In fact, if it doesn’t make sense financially for your family to do the organic thing, I don’t think you should. My bet is that your kids are better off playing soccer, taking swimming lessons and having mom and dad be as stress-free as possible. But…
