I am a Dance Mom and let me tell you that I do NOT come by it naturally! My daughter has been dancing since she was 2 1/2. She absolutely loves it and she’s a natural. Over the past six or so years, I have had to learn many “tricks of the trade” in order to survive as a “Dance Mom”. Two of the areas where I have struggled and learned a lot is hair and make up. You see, I’m not a “girly girl”, far from it in fact. Most days, I go make up free and my hair … Continue reading →

My good friend, Wendy from funny things are everywhere, is a Car Seat Technician. She is the girl who I called when our van broke down during a road trip last summer and I had to get some questions answered about transferring my son’s car seat to the Tow Truck!

She emphasized the 5 Step Test that your child should take … Continue reading →

On Friday May 10th, my little one and I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the new mini mioche store in Toronto’s Distillery District. Whenever possible, our family strives to buy local and at this store you can do just that – after all, mini mioche is organic, eco-friendly AND made in Canada!!! First, and lately of greatest importance for me while shopping with a stroller, is accessibility – the store is easily accessed from the parking lot at the Distillery and not only is the store itself stroller friendly with ample space to maneuver, but outside there is even … Continue reading →
