Big thanks to my editor in chief for today’s guest post! Where I excel in packing the car and preparing the diaper bag, K is a master at gift giving – and receiving. If I were you, I’d take her baby registry advice to heart! As a parent-to-be, putting a baby registry together is a […]
I hate the snaps on baby clothes. The only thing worse than snaps are buttons. How the hell do the buttons come undone the second you put them on your kid, but when you actively try to take them off they become impossible? And don’t even get me started on zippers – want your little […]
#Parentbrag moment! T just told us he was pooping, so that’s great. I mean, it’s awkward dinner conversation, but still – let’s not let societal norms get in the way of progress! I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing. 3 day method? Spend a weekend locked in the bathroom with gallons of prune juice […]

It’s been a long 4 weeks. I’ve loved every waking moment (‘waking’, of course, being the current default mode) of being at home with my family. Initially I was on T duty – play groups, walks to the park, reading, bath time – anything to keep him entertained and away from his sister. Between K […]
~Sponsored Post~ As much as I’m eager for our new life in the suburbs to begin, there is a lot that Toronto has going for it. I have called this city my home for the last 15 years – longer than I have ever lived in any one place, and apart from the occasional vacation […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent a lovely weekend with family, exploring corn mazes and pumpkin patches, shooting applies out of pneumatic powered howitzers, and of course a delicious turkey dinner. Unfortunately I’ve also got an ear infection, so I spent quite a bit of time laying on my side with drops […]
Last week the Wee Baby T started walking. I don’t mean those adorable toddle steps, I mean full-on walking. Sometimes with a clear destination in mind, typically just in a general “over there” direction. With arms flailing wildly for increased balance he motors across the living room, bounces off the wall before making it around […]
My apologies for the delay, and I assure you we’ve got some exciting things coming up once we get back in to full-swing! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of family, vacations, home renovations, and shopping for the 2 largest expenses of our lives. We’re house hunting and car shopping at the same […]
When I was a kid it seemed my dad always knew the right thing to say. From the soccer field to homework, his wisdom was limitless. Looking back I think a lot of that was from life experience, but it was probably polished up with some slick lines. Quotes have the power to add emphasis […]
