My bag is not only my bag…it’s my on-the-go kitchen, first-aid box, bank, toy box, and snack shop. I carry a ton of (very important) stuff to make our family outings easier. And I have to share with you…my new favourite Mom bag…made by Nella Bella (Canadian!). Made of vegan fabric – it looks and feels…

Clean Baby, Happy Baby
My motherhood days (and evenings) are a cycle of messes/clean up (his messes/my cleaning up). Clean baby, happy baby – happy baby, content Mom (circle of life n’est ce pas?!). Of my three kids, this little boy is the busiest and most messy. I can pretty much claim “expert” title status for keeping a kid…
Power Wheels® Harley-Davidson® Rocker™
A Fisher-Price Power Wheels® Harley-Davidson® Rocker™ – how cool is that?! A boy’s dream n’est ce pas?! Sure fire hit right?! This is the review where we learn…don’t make a big deal about new toys… It came in a wonderfully big cardboard box with pictures of a Harley-esque bike just the right size for my toddler. I was…
Bar B Q Menu
‘Tis the season of spontaneous back yard gatherings of friends and family. “Hey, come back to our place – we’ll throw something on the Bar B Q” (that’s said a lot around here in Spring and Summer). Kids play, parents sip, everyone eats…it’s the perfect way to spend time together. I have a few ideas for your…
The Children’s Place Spring Style
Have you gone into the kids’ summer clothes drawer only to find out they have outgrown last year’s warm-weather-wardrobe? Same here. T-shirts, tanks, shorts and dresses are all too snug, too short, too small. A new summer wardrobe doesn’t have to break the family budget…I did some reconnaissance to find some frugal fashion finds at The Children’s Place…and…
Function Meets Fashion: Baby Edition
I must admit baby gear is very cool these days. Some baby gear is so sleek it doesn’t even look like baby gear! In virtually every brick-and-mortar store, the baby section is my happy place. I browse and compare the strollers and car seats and wipes and baby carriers much longer than my big kids…
Easy Family Meals
I know I have June Cleaver issues. I strive for that 50’s-esque perfect life of happy family/organized home (most days failing). Sunday to Thursday – I cook, clean, launder and tidy…until Friday. Friday is modern-Mom day. I don’t cook on Fridays – June aspirations get the day off. Yet, we still have easy family meals……

Always on the look out for an activity which will get kids moving – the idea of an Indoor Trampoline Park intrigued me. Sport + fun + kids = winning family field trip. A new family destination has been discovered…guys…you have to see Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park… Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park has two…

Amongst my Tips on Toddler Play #1 is – Make play fun. Play is the way toddlers learn. Learn about their skills. Learn about the world around them. Learn about cause and effect. Learn vocabulary. Learn communication. Play is super important to toddlers in terms of learning. Come see how my toddler plays… (Aside: it very atypical to see…
Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Bag Review
In my everyday Mom life, my biggest essential is my diaper bag. It goes everywhere with me storing; baby toys, diapers, snacks as well as my own must-have items like wallet, mobile phone, keys and press pass (everyone carries a press pass in their diaper bag right?!). However, carrying a functional diaper bag doesn’t mean Mom needs to forget her fashion sense….
Spring Style: Nuu Muu is HOT
Don’t you feel like a little fashion therapy right about now? In spring, I move from polar fleece pants (I know – fashion faux pas – but I’m cold!) to yoga pants (my Mom uniform). I have to admit – I am much more comfortable in those yoga pants when I pair a long top with it. Which…
