Traditionally, in my faith, we don’t buy any baby necessities before a baby is born. While I almost strictly adhered to this tradition, we did purchase a car seat before our first son was born. Not only is it one of the most important baby items you will buy, but it’s also a requirement at the […]
Is it co-sleeping or just lazy parenting?
If you were a fly on our bedroom wall at night you’d see our youngest son, a newborn, all 8 pounds of him, lying sprawled out on our king size TV bed from TV Beds Northwest. His arms are outstretched above his head, as if he’s giving himself a cheer. You’d also see that he’s […]
Take 3 at 3 on World Spine Day & Giveaway (Canada) #straightenupcanada
I’m not sure if it’s a female thing or a parent thing, but I suffer from back pain. I suffered from lower back pain as a teen and unfortunately, it’s persisted to show up into adulthood. Of course, three pregnancies, holding, carrying and breastfeeding three kids hasn’t helped either. I have to say that the worst […]

THE GAME OF LIFE – CAA Edition Contest is Back!
As a kid growing up, before technology took over, my favourite activity to do with my friends was to play board games. One of my favourite games was THE GAME OF LIFE. There were the small cars, cute pink and blue peg people, and it was fun seeing what “job” you would have and how big […]
The birth plan that never was…
It was 10:30 PM, my husband was fast asleep in case the baby decided to arrive that night. I grabbed my cell phone and Googled “contraction calculator”. Sure, this was my third pregnancy, but it’s amazing what you remember and what you forget. First of all, in all three of my labours, I always question […]
Our Summer Recap 2014
This summer has been a busy one, to say the least. I was in my third trimester and had two active boys at home that I had to keep busy and entertained. It was one of my hardest pregnancies and all I wanted to do was sleep. Of course that wasn’t an option on most […]
Everything is Awesome at LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Toronto
LEGO lovers unite! For over a year now, Toronto has had its very own LEGOLAND! Located at Vaughan Mills Mall, near Canada’s Wonderland, it’s another great family-friendly attraction to arrive in our great city. There’s something for everyone as fellow blogger, Jenn Perry, from That Jenn Perry, can attest to. Jenn and her family recently went […]
Diaper Bag Essentials & A Giveaway {Canada} #DisneyBabyCA
With the birth of my third son I like to think that I’ve perfected the contents of my diaper bag. Of course, that’s not exactly true. My first born was known to have “explosive poo” and I changed his clothes more than three times a day (I wish I was joking). This was never the […]
Planning my son’s birthday is as easy as Kidville
My oldest son’s birthday is September 20th; he’ll be turning 4! For the past 3 years, I’ve always been on top of planning his birthday party. Sometimes even planning three months in advance. This year it’s been a little different. The last month I’ve been preoccupied with getting my oldest ready for JK and having […]
