As my second pregnancy comes to an end, I had some time (read: sleepless nights) to reflect back about my current pregnancy and my first one. I realized that there’s a lot of differences actually. Here’s some of the major ones that came to mind for me: During my 1st pregnancy, my husband came along […]
My one year blogiversary!
One year ago I came up with a crazy idea to start my blog. I can’t believe it’s already been a year and I can’t believe people are actually reading my blog. At the time, I didn’t even know what a blog was; but I had so many stories to share and write about my […]
My favourite things for newborn babies
I may not be Oprah (okay, I’m nowhere near like Oprah), but I have my own list of favourite things. Specifically, for newborn babies. With the holiday season upon us, and the birth of our second child around the corner, it got me in the mood for some shopping! Okay, I’m always in the mood for […]
Awesome work benefits for parents
Prior to my current gig as a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM), I worked for a large, multi-national corporation. While the pay was decent, the benefits were better. Specifically, they had some great benefits to assist parents. You know, the work-life balance thing. Beyond the standard paternity / maternity leave and top-up, and work-life-balance workshops, my work offered […]
Confessions of a stay at home mom (SAHM)
I always imagined that being a stay at home mom would allow me to do some of the things that I didn’t get to do while I was in the workforce. I pictured myself visiting different neighbourhoods throughout Toronto, walking around, discovering new stores and enjoying the fresh air or a nice cup of coffee. […]
Preparing our toddler to become an older brother
While Kyle isn’t great at socializing with kids his own age, he does love playing with older kids. He also adores babies; and mostly, he’s very gentle with them. This is a good thing, since we’re expecting our second child in two months. From the moment we found out I was pregnant, we told our […]
‘Before 40’ bucket list
With my 32nd birthday (today) and our second child’s birth looming around the corner, it got me thinking about my “bucket-list”. Not too long ago, I had fulfilled many items on my list. I went back-packing through Europe for four months, I skydived 10 times in places such as Switzerland, Israel and New Zealand (3 tandem jumps and 7 solo […]
Babymoon in Jamaica + Toddler
Going on a babymoon seems to be the latest trend these days. During my first pregnancy, it never even crossed our minds. We were doing a complete renovation on our house, and since Kyle was to be born in September, we spent most of the summer at the cottage. That made it feel like enough of […]
Our first ECHOage party.
This weekend, my family and I were invited to an ECHOage birthday party. The birthday boy, my friend’s son, was turning two. Typical of a two-year old birthday party, the event was held at an indoor playground. But what was different, was the present. In lieu of typical gifts, the parents decided to host an ECHOage […]
My 2 year old son only wears brand name clothes
Most people assume that if they have boys, they won’t run into the same issues that girls typically have. Specifically, issues relating to clothes. Well, not so and I have a two-year old boy to prove it. Kyle has decided to show us his independence through his choice of clothes. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as […]
