I’ve recently been introduced to a brand called Seventh Generation, a brand that truly cares about the environment. Since becoming a Mom, I’ve become more and more concerned about the type of products that I use in our home. I use less chemicals and I try to make more environmentally friendly choices when I can. We still have a little guy who wears diapers in our family (something that we’re working on, but it’s a slow process). This is why I’m excited to have the opportunity in the near future to try out Seventh Generation’s Free & Clear Diapers. Free … Continue reading →

Congrats to edmontonjb – the winner of this Giveaway! We absolutely LOVE Boogie Wipes in our house! Especially when the kids are sick with those runny nose or stuffy nose illnesses. Nose wiping can be such a struggle with young children. My son REALLY doesn’t like to have his nose wiped. However, with this amazing invention of Boogie Wipes (that comes in a few different varieties: Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol and Simply Unscented), I can simply hand him one, he wipes his nose and the schmoogies (that’s what we call Boogies in our house) simply wipe away. It’s … Continue reading →

Inspired by five stories from A.A. Milne’s books in Disney’s classic, hand-drawn art style, Winnie The Pooh hits the theatres this Friday July 15th, 2011! My family had the privilege of seeing an advanced screening of this movie this past weekend in Toronto at the AMC Theatres at Yonge and Dundas Square (VERY nice and SUPER clean theatres, I might add). It was my son’s very first movie in a theatre (he is 2.5 years old) and my daughter’s 3rd movie. We weren’t too sure how my son would react to the theatre in general – would it be too … Continue reading →

Snacktivities by MaryAnn F. Kohl and Jean Potter is a perfectly sized little book that has some really sweet ideas for making food fun for kids.

Snacktivities has 50 activities that are all creatively named like ABC-heese Broil and Biscuit Blossoms. The Ingredients, Utensils and Process are all listed … Continue reading →

Book Review: Art with Anything: 52 Weeks of Fun Using Everyday Stuff by MaryAnn F. Kohl

Art with Anything is a very fun and unique Art Activity book that is written for children aged 4 to 10 in mind by MaryAnn F. Kohl. I really like how the book is organized by week and each week focuses on a different type of craft material. It’s truly amazing the number of activities that one can do with the same type of material! This way, you can stay somewhat “set up” for the week without getting too many different things out. This book is written with the craft enthusiast in mind, however, you don’t have to do the … Continue reading →

Congratulations to Commenter #68 Rae T.! In our house, we consume drinks that require straws on a daily basis. Not so much the adults in the house, but definitely the children! I really didn’t like the fact that we were going through SO many disposable straws. I try to be as environmentally conscious whenever I can! I had seen Glass Dharma straws pop up here and there all over the internet recently and I was extremely happy to be able to give them a try in our family! We received a variety of shapes and sizes to try out and … Continue reading →
