Leave a comment

I’ve recently been introduced to a brand called Seventh Generation, a brand that truly cares about the environment. Ever since my first child was born, I have become more and more aware of the impact that we have on our environment. I have also made attempts to be conscious of the types of products that I use on and around my children as many products contain harsh chemicals that over time can have a negative impact on their health. Not only have I changed the products that I use (for the most part), but I also have tried to make … Continue reading →

Do you ever get razor bumps when shaving those particularly sensitive areas? I do; it must be due to my super sensitive skin! Those bumps HURT and they look terrible. When I first started shaving, I did it behind my mother’s back. I tried to tell her that I wanted to shave, but she wouldn’t listen. So, what did I do? I used her razor and a bar of soap. I had NO idea what I was doing; I cut myself, I got razor bumps and I bled! Because of my experience, I promised myself that one day, if I … Continue reading →

This post is part of #FDF (Finally Diaper Free), an event all about Potty Training co-hosted by The Knit Wit. I cloth diapered. I’m not telling you that to be all sanctimonious, it’s just part of the story of how my daughter was potty trained. You see, I also work full time outside the home. While I was on Mat Leave the “few extra loads” of laundry that came with cloth diapering weren’t really a big deal. It just fit in to our daily routine. Once I went back to work hauling diapers up and down the stairs became a … Continue reading →

Learn to ride a bike with NO TRAINING WHEELS! When I was contacted by The Pumpkin Patch to review a KaZAM Balance Bike, I cannot put into words how excited I was!

Right from the start, I liked the unique design of the KaZAM balance bike due to the uniquely designed foot rest! This allows the child to lift their feet up and place them in a natural … Continue reading →

This post is part of #FDF (Finally Diaper Free), an event all about Potty Training co-hosted by The Knit Wit. Wow! Where do I begin? Let me start at the very beginning….. What is #FDF? During the summer, hubby and I were talking about our then 2 year old son about potty training and we both agreed that he was showing signs of readiness. We decided that once our daughter started school, when I had all of my time to devote to potty training, I would take the leap and help him become Diaper Free. I started talking to my … Continue reading →
