My daughter Jade is seven months old now — old enough to sit up on her own or in a high chair or in the buggy at the grocery store or the swing at the park, which is great, because it makes life so much easier for me, until she starts tasting the buggy handle or teething on the swing.  When I saw the Cool Wazoo, I wanted to try it. The Cool Wazoo is a multi-purpose pad/cover that must have been designed by a mom.  It works as a diaper changing pad but can also be used to cover … Continue reading →

Last year, I attended the BabyTime Show and had an incredible time! My niece had just been born and I was in “baby mode” all over again. The truth is, I have a thing with babies! I LOVE them! Many years ago, I dreamt of becoming what I called a “baby nurse”. I now wonder if I might go after a dream of becoming a doula. I know that I can get my baby fix right now, though, by attending the BabyTime Show! This show is perfect for expectant parents, new parents and even parents of toddlers and preschoolers. There … Continue reading →

Planning meals is something that many of us struggle with. When you combine the challenge of meal planning with lack of time to do the proper grocery shopping to enusre you have all of the ingredients, meal planning can be a dreaded disaster! I don’t know about in your family, but in our house, dinner meals are often decided at the last minute and it is sometimes a challenge to come up with meal ideas with what we have in the house. You had better believe that I am NOT going to run out to the grocery store after school, … Continue reading →

To be honest, I wish I had found them the first time around. Mother Hen (La Mère Poule) is a Canadian success story. Almost 20 years ago, in a … Continue reading →

When my children were newborns, Pampers diapers were the only diapers we put on them! In fact, throughout my childrens’ diaper wearing days, Pampers was the trusted brand that we used, almost exclusively. What I mean by that is every time we decided to try out another brand, we always came back to Pampers! I am very pleased to announce that in August, Walmart Canada and P&G began sponsoring a series of prenatal programs in hospitals and community centres country wide by providing soon-to-be parents with special gift bags with Pampers product. The reusable Walmart gift bags include: a package … Continue reading →

Last Friday, I had the privilege of attending WeDay, an annual event organized by the Canadian charity Free The Children. There were 20000 students at the Air Canada Centre who were empowered, inspired to be the best that they can be, entertained and encouraged to help others in this world who are less fortunate! WeDay was honestly the most inspirational event I have ever attended. I walked away feeling inspired, proud of the students and in awe of the sheer magnitude of energy that these students possessed. We Day is part of a family of organizations, including Free The Children … Continue reading →
