So, I’m not sure if you know this… but I’m pregnant. You know, in case you somehow missed my constant running commentary on the matter. And let me tell you, everyone (including your OB) will tell you that being pregnant the second time around is different. They say...
We love the outdoors in this family. Living in Canada, we’ve accumulated gear over time that let’s us be out in all four seasons comfortably, and we’re always on the hunt for the best of the best to share with you guys. Here’s the rub though… Emmett inherited a...
Is it summer yet?! I swear, in Canada it feels like we’ve been FOREVER waiting for the hot weather to finally hit so we can head to the lake and enjoy it. But regardless of the lack of heat, the sun has been peeking out now and then, and it’s got me thinking about...
So we took our first ever, on-an-airplane vacation as a family of three to Arizona this Spring. The trip was amazing, but before we left, we had a lot of friends ask why we were using our precious family vacation time to take a one-year old on a trip with us (not...
Who’s gearing up for summer?! Both hands up over here! The amazing weather this week has us already dreaming of long days on the dock, lake swims, and summer bonfires. Ahhhh the long lazy summer life… We’re super lucky to have two cottages to visit in the summer...

There are a few things that unite us in motherhood. Labour and delivery, sleepless nights, poop explosions, and trying to feed a fussy newborn. Whether you’re formula feeding, breast feeding, or somewhere in between, one of the decisions that every mom is bound to...
After your car seat, your stroller is probably the decision you’ll spend the most time thinking about. Should you get a full size stroller? Convenience? One with a bassinet? Three-wheels or four? The list of variables is endless, and the decision can seem a bit...
I don’t know if it’s because Em is suddenly looking like a legitimate ‘big boy’, but we’ve been spending lots of time lately reflecting on his first year, thinking about what we might adjust/tweak if we were able to do it over again. I’m pretty sure I spent roughly...
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?!
