The Car Seat. We like to call this decision ‘the big one’. It can seem the most overwhelming, not just because it’s the piece of equipment most tied to your babe’s daily safety, but because there are roughly a trillion regulations, that all differ slightly from...
Can we start with a little disclaimer here? Guys, I am in no way a professional photographer. But I do love taking pics of my sweet fam, and I’ve gained some tips and tricks along the way. And because you guys are awesome (and waaaaay too kind), a few of you have...
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,...
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?!
