So the nursing bras are in the garbage bin. Most of them were almost 7 years old – which sounds ancient, but overall they were only really worn for about a year and a half. Two of them were new, only a year old, and even had underwire – woooo. But they still didn’t support [...]

I used to think babies were scary. That newborns were the most challenging. That I could easily wish away about the first 6 months of their lives, just to get to the part where they were ‘people’ unto themselves. Oh ha ha ha ha ha, old me. You were so naïve. Babies are DA BOMB. [...]

I’ve been thinking recently that I can’t really be called a mom blogger or a mommy blogger (*cringe*) because I don’t usually write blog posts dispensing advice about child rearing. Besides the fact that I don’t actually know what the hell I am doing most of the time, I believe there are about 234,567 right [...]

The house is steamy in this May heat wave but everyone is asleep so I’m content. It’s bad that I look forward to all three of them being asleep every night, right? But as it happens, as each of the three go down, and the last one’s finally quiet -  it’s like I can finally [...]

Keep reading to get to a great giveaway! Last week, Charlie and I had the pleasure of attending an informal lunch and learn hosted by Seventh Generation and Gill Deacon. This isn’t the first time I’ve written about Seventh Generation – we really are fans of their products and I’ve enjoyed having a relationship with [...]

Environmental protection is a constant topic of conversation in our house. Usually consisting of “don’t step on the butterfly”, “please don’t drop that Popsicle wrapper in the garden” and “bloody hell, the baby just had another blow out and he’s wearing a cloth diaper!”. But seriously, on a daily basis, I’m trying to impart that [...]

It was a great idea to have three kids. Three is the new two! This was totally what we wanted. Heck, I used to want four kids and a white picket fence.  You know, before I became a parent and house-owner and realized how completely ridiculous those two things are (no disrespect to parents of [...]

Bloggers, if you’re involved with a brand initiative that includes posting a badge on your blog, which you agree to do, do you think the PR company should maybe let you know that you are now no longer part of the program and that you should take the badge off of your blog? Is this [...]

Last March, I was wearing capris and sandals and sunglasses. I remember it distinctly. Of course, I was in Cuba at the time. This year, there was no need to go south for March Break, and it actually got to summer temperatures this week. So yesterday I was in Toronto, wearing capris and sandals and [...]
