Is there anything kids love more than hearing stories about themselves? If so we’ve yet to find out what it may be. Which is why personalized presents are always a hit and The First Adventures of Incredible You takes personalized to a whole new level.

what’s in a name?

You may shop locally and eat locally but will you name your child locally? No, we’re not suggesting you burden your babe with a name like Really Rainy or Georgia Straight, but you can compare the choice you’re about to make against BC Vital Statistic Agency’s list of most popular baby names that’s updated annually. After all, if you’re toying with the names Ethan or Ava, it’s good to know that they were BC’s most popular baby names in 2008 and 2007.

What parent doesn’t long for more sleep? Whether you’ve got a restless newborn or a busy three-year-old and a full-to-bursting to do list, most mamas we know long for more sleep.

It’s that time of year again. It gets dark early. The snow’s on the mountains. And there are myriad layers to wrap your tots in before you head out the door. If your babe has ever slipped an ice-cold hand into yours then you’ll have felt the tug of maternal guilt that comes from forgetting to snug them into mittens. But mittens, like socks, tend to go astray, so we love these bulky mittz from Stonz that are easy to wear and easy to keep track of.

unmentionables via mail
Filed Under Stuff | November 13, 2009
When we first heard about Panty by Post we thought it seemed more like a gift for our partners than for ourselves. After all, sexy undies are all well and good, but a busy mama needs unmentionables that can keep up with her whirligig schedule. However, once we received our first pair of panties by post and experienced the boost they gave us we changed our minds.
got you covered

There are lots of fun pregnancy symptoms – hearing your baby’s heartbeat, feeling your baby move, your thick, shiny hair – and then there are lots of less fun symptoms. Think morning sickness, heartburn and leukorrhea, which is lay-pregnant-lady terms means increased vaginal discharge. So what’s a leaky mum-to-be to do? Well, you could invest in a raft of panty liners but we’re more partial to Lunapanties, they’re friendlier to both your nether regions and the earth.
