I’ve been introduced to Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations, a collection of Frozen Entreés. This time, instead of the food all being in one container, they … Continue reading →

Adorable Baby Clothing from @OM_home {REV!EW and G!VEAWAY}

This review has been written by Alison, a new Mom. You can read about Alison in our About section here. Our LO just had her 6 month appointment and was 18 lbs, 7oz!! She is in the 85th percentile for weight and 97th for height! Needless to say, she doesn’t typically fit into clothing that is marked for her age. The arms and legs are usually too short leaving her a little chilly. While I am always looking for stylish clothing for my LO, I try my best to be sensible and practical with my choices. I came across OM … Continue reading →

NEW Kellogg’s Cereals & Snacks {G!VEAWAY}

I can’t even begin to explain to you just how excited my family gets when new Kellogg’s products arrive at the front door to sample! This time around, my favourite new product was the All-Bran Cranberries and Clusters. Secretly, I would tell you it was the MINI-WHEATS centres, raspberry flavoured, but I really try hard not to have what I call “treat cereal”, despite the fact that they are high in fibre! My children devoured the Nutrigrain Soft Bakes both the Blueberry Muffin and Banana Bread flavours were so yummy! The Cracker Chips continue to remain a favourite snack in … Continue reading →

Cutting Down on Waste in a Tasty Way with @Sodastream_ca

I’ve been eyeing sodastream for quite some time now, wondering what the hype was all about! After trying one out for myself, I now understand! First of all, there is the environmental impact that thousands upon thousands of plastic drink bottles have on the environment. sodastream states that the average Canadian family will save over 2000 bottles with the use of their machines. I believe it! By using sodastream in our family, we are teaching our children the importance of re-using. I love the variety of drinks that you can make with a sodastream and they all start with plain … Continue reading →

Ubbi Diaper Pail {Review}

This review has been written by Alison, a new Mom. You can read about Alison in our About section here. To set the scene, I must tell you that while my LO has what I think is a pretty cool nursery (it used to be our office) and it’s small (4’ x 7’), it’s tough keeping it looking tidy and a challenge to keep all of the items in the room functional yet stylish at the same time. This past fall while attending a baby show, my husband and I saw a display of Ubbi Diaper Pails. We were immediately … Continue reading →

This Guest Review has been written by Alison, a new Mom. You can read about Alison in our About section here. My little one is in her fifth month now and has sprouted TWO teeth already!!! I’m lead to believe this is a little early. For a while now (even before I noticed her teeth coming in), she has been putting EVERYTHING into her little mouth. I am always looking for items for my LO and for myself that help us to look stylish while being functional. A friend told me about Chewbeads™ and I decided to check them out … Continue reading →

No More Chaffed Skin with ChafeStop™ from @ILoveLoveys

Leave a comment

UPDATE:Recently, ChafeGuard™ had a name change to ChafeStop™! It can be found on amazon.ca, amazon.com, shop.ca, www.abesmarket.com and www.ethicalocean.com. With the dry, cold weather in the winter, our skin can become extra dry, itchy and uncomfortable. I was surprised to notice that one day a few weeks ago, my son’s inner thighs were completely chaffed. They looked so red, raw and painful and it developed literally during one school day. My heart hurt for the discomfort that he was experiencing. We started to treat it with various bath soaks, lotions and creams, including diaper cream, but nothing was fully working. … Continue reading →
