My 2 year old son only wears brand name clothes

by

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 […]

Why this 8 month-old baby needs your support!

by

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

by

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

by

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

by

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 […]

The fall of America, the rise of “Honey Boo Boo”

by

Up until a week ago, I’d never heard of the  show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (on TLC).  I saw a friend’s Facebook status mentioning Honey Boo Boo but not knowing what she’s talking about, I overlooked it.  Coincidently, about an hour later, I saw previews for Honey Boo Boo and decided to watch it.  To say the least, […]

My Journey Through Miscarriage (part 3) – Guest Post

by

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!

by

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 […]
