While we’re raising our children Jewish (I’m Jewish, my husband isn’t), we do sometimes “celebrate” non-Jewish holidays. After-all, one set of grandparents isn’t Jewish and we don’t want to deprive them of what I’m sure was their life-long dream of spoiling their grandkids during the holidays. So this season, the two competing holidays that we’re celebrating are […]
Is my second son an easier baby OR, is it me?
When I was pregnant with our second child, the most common declaration that my husband and I heard from other parents is that the biggest challenge of parenthood was going from one child to two. Even my sister-in-law who has FOUR kids said that this statement resonated with her. So we were prepared for the “worst”. However, […]

Birth Photography. Is it a trend or here to stay?
Anyone who knows me, knows I’m obsessed with pictures. I’m only an amateur but I’ve been attached to a camera for as long as I can remember. Of course, for special occasions, I leave the picture taking to the professionals, including my wedding, special family events and sometimes vacation pictures. The only thing I haven’t captured on film (or […]
What would you do…? Overhearing a child talk about gun violence
Fact: gun violence in Canada is not as bad as it is in the states. Stricter laws make it harder (but not impossible) to get a gun here. It’s also not a social norm to own a gun in Canada whereas it’s common practice in some American states. Reality: Canada is not immune from gun […]

While Kyle’s babyhood went by too fast for me, I’ve really enjoyed watching him grow as a toddler. Especially since he turned 2! He has such a personality, and his high-energy is so contagious. Of course, there’s the other side of toddlerhood where I often find Kyle frustrated, mad or crying. This is obviously not a […]

The worst kids book ever, and not because it’s about the Maple Leafs
Lucky for us, Kyle LOVES books. He can literally sit down for a full hour and listen to me read book after book. I actually read the entire page, no short-cuts, from start to end. If anything, I’m the one that has to ask him if it’s okay to stop reading books because I just […]
