We spend most of our summer by the lake. And while we love the amazing opportunities our kiddos have to learn and grow in the country, it also means we take on the additional responsibility of water safety for two kids under three on the daily. Now let me just pause...
It’s hard to imagine that Back to School time is ever going to be here (as I sit beside the lake writing this)… but oh man, it’s coming faster than my September-denial would have me believe! And while we typically focus on school-age kiddos at Back to School time,...
It’s been almost 100 nights since our Endy mattress arrived. I promised you guys that I’d give you a full run down of exactly what we think of the mattress after we’d had a few months to settle into it…. So here goes! In short? We love it. What is it about the Endy...
Sometimes I wonder… How do we teach our kids (and toddlers at that!) the value of serving and giving back to their community? In our family we truly feel that a passion for helping and serving others is one of the most important things we’re going to teach our...
We go to the cottage with our fam in all four seasons, and I can tell you after some marathon cottage packing, unpacking and re-packing sessions… making the trip with a baby and a toddler is no joke! We’ve got our summer cottage packing list basically down pat, so I...
Hey second-time mamas… Remember that mom and baby music class you signed baby number one up for? Likely weeks in advance? The same one you lovingly went to every week, where you sang, danced and played with your little ones – giving them your undivided attention? Yep....
Charlie’s officially taken to this whole eating thing like a fish to water (or like Emmett to food… because apparently both of my kids can EAT). We’ve been busy introducing new foods to her, and exploring new flavours and textures, and it’s one of my favourite things....
I’ve often thought we should start a little ‘Chomping with Charlie’ series. This sweet girl eats with vigour and passion, and I love it so much! She’s taken to eating like an absolute champ – and while making homemade baby food purees for your little one can seem...
It’s summer in Canada, and for Emmett that means it’s time to get his Hot Dog on! The kid loves a good dog. But to be honest, in the past we’ve tried to limit them to a once-in-a-while treat that he gets at the cottage. They were one of those things he (and his dad!)...
If you’ve been following along for a little while, you’ll know that I’ve just recently kicked my butt back in gear (six months postpartum from our second babe), and have been diligent about setting time aside during the week to get active. It’s not easy to find the...
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?!
