If I could wear Em in a carrier until he goes to high school, I would. I can’t tell you the number of times that tucking our little guy into a carrier has saved our sanity. Baby wearing makes life easier. That’s all there is to it. Not only does it offer a convenient...
I don’t know about you guys, but bath time keeps us sane in this house. We’ve been a “bath every day’ kind of family ever since Emmett was born – not so much to keep him clean (although lately that concern’s becoming REAL) – more because it’s his happy place, and it’s...
What the what?!? What is happening to our Canadian winter weather? We’ve had some serious craziness going on here the past couple weeks. We’ve gone from snowstorms to frigid temps to freezing rain to rain storms… all of which have kept us housebound and dreaming of...
When new mom’s ask us about essential items to include on a registry (or just to buy in that crazy/hazy first few months), one of the first things I tell them is to get a bouncer. If your next question is ‘is a bouncer one of those dangly harness things you hang in a...
I think I’m just going to go ahead and theme our January ‘getting back to basics’. It seems like it takes us almost the whole month to recover from the Holiday crazy-awesomeness. Emmett’s pretty adaptable. He’s a happy little guy, and he’s pretty content to be...
Emmett’s busy. Not like he’s away taking a call busy… more like he’s a non-stop-human-tornado busy. While most of the time it’s hilarious and fun, sometimes it’s downright hard to manage. Like for example when we’re on road trips to visit friends and family, and I’m...
It’s a new year, and we’ve transitioned from Holiday mode (pj’s all day, and no shame) back to regular life at what feels like warp speed! While I’m sad to see the Holidays go, I also secretly love getting back into a routine, and planning the year ahead (I’m a...
If you guys read our last post (all about travel tips for your toddler), then you’ll know that we’re a bit of a travelling road show at Christmas time. We’re lucky enough to have family on both sides that are within driving distance that we love spending time with,...
I don’t know about you, but we do a lot of car travel… especially over the holidays! We live about 2.5-3hrs away from both sets of grandparents (by car), so our Christmas break typically turns into a bit of a travelling road show! We pack my husband, myself, all the...
It’s that magical time of year. When we slow down a little, and invest some serious time thinking about what those special loved ones in our lives might be thrilled to open on Christmas morning. Who doesn’t want to find the perfect present for their very favourite...
My front line product tester, side kick, fun-seeker, sleep-boycotter, and ultimate joy! We're a team! Oh, and did I mention he has a little baby sister too?!
