Strolling my son down the street on Sunday I bumped into my neighbour. After a few chit-chats, she held back some tears and told me about the horrific ordeal that her family is facing. Her daughter recently flew to Greece for vacation with her husband and two small children. My neighbour’s youngest grandson, Alexander, at 8 months old, started […]
Finding a nutritious balance for your kids
If there’s one thing my husband and I don’t agree on (ya right… 1 thing), it is with regards to feeding our two-year old son. Our disagreement stems from years of being raised on different spectrums of food ideologies. Growing up, my school lunches consisted of mostly either Nutella on bread or sour cream and olives […]
The deadly sins of sharing on Facebook, by the last person who should give advice on this topic
My high school acquaintance recently posted on Facebook the following status: “the less you post to Facebook the less you’ll have to delete later.” While I had a good chuckle to myself, it also made me think. I post A LOT to Facebook. Basically, I tend to error on the side of oversharing. Of course, my […]
Enjoying some Mom-ME time at Urban Foot & Wellness Clinic; Review and Giveaway
Let’s be honest, with a high-energy two-year old in tow, and another on the way, I hardly have any ME time. And I don’t even mean alone time. I mean, I’m lucky if I am able to shower every morning and get out of the house without any food stains on my clothes. It’s no surprise […]
Fur parenting fail
On April 7th, our little girl pup was born. Seven weeks later, we took her home with us. Three weeks later, we had to give her to my in-laws… where she still remains today. What happened you say? I’ll tell you… it’s called fur parent fail! There, I’ve said it. I’ve been ashamed to admit it, […]
My Journey Through Miscarriage (part 3) – Guest Post
DAY 10: (Before reading this post, please read my previous posts: part 1 and part 2 as this will be completely out of context otherwise). I inserted the Misoprostol at 10:15 a.m. and took two Advils straight away for precautionary measures. When I met with the OB, and she gave me the Misoprostol prescription, she said that I […]
Baby-shower-palooza!
With several friends expecting between July and September, the time for the baby showers has finally arrived. A few weekends ago, I attended two very different, but very special baby showers. With four of our close-friends all due within two months of each other, we decided to throw a “group” baby-shower, hosted by six of the girls […]
My Journey Through Miscarriage (part 2) – Guest Post
To read part 1, go here: http://wp.me/p248bN-jU +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DAY 8: I needed to see it with my own eyes. Strangely it wasn’t as traumatizing as I thought it would be. The ultrasound just showed a blob with no heartbeat. It even shrunk to an 8-9 week fetus. I guess that happens over time. I am […]
An ode to my Da-da for father’s day – by Kyle Fitzpatrick
The first and last person that Kyle sees every day is his dad (my husband), John. It’s no wonder they have such a special and close bond. For this year’s father’s day, Kyle wanted to do something special. Here’s a poem he wrote to his Da-da. Da-da, Thank you for coming to get me out […]
The smartest toddler on earth – and despite what his grandparents think, it’s not my son.
A few weeks ago, while I was at the Toronto Zoo (my favourite new kid-friendly place in Toronto), I met a stay-at-home dad and his 27 month-old son, Jacob. We started chatting as the father overheard me speaking Hebrew with Kyle. He told me that he’s teaching his son four languages: English, French, Hebrew and […]
