bye bye belly

We wanted to send out one last reminder that our little baby, yoyobelly, is growing up and it’s time for her to move into the same room as her big sister, yoyomama. So what does this mean for you? We’re about to move our stash of great articles full of advice and products for pregnant [...]

It’s that time of year when we switch from raincoats and brollies (we hope) to sunhats and shorts. So here’s a handy sun safety primer to get you back into the swing of the sunny season.

The funny little wedge of a block where Fraser and Kingsway meet just keeps getting better. The renaissance started when Les Faux Bourgeois opened right on the corner and then continued with the opening of Collage Collage and RubyDog’s Art House and now the block gets even craftier with the recent opening of Spool of Thread.

wake me up, before you go go

As the days get longer it’s getting harder and harder to convince our little ones that it’s time to go to bed when it’s still light out and not necessarily time to arise just because the sun’s up. So rather than continually asserting this tiring truth, we’ve come to rely on the GoodNite Lite.

Along with kids comes an enormous amount of stuff – clothes, toys, gear, accessories and more. And they outgrow it much faster than you can keep on track of it. So we asked organized mama and author of the blog Uncluttering the Cluttered, Leah Avery, for her tips on maintaining some control of all the stuff we don’t know where to put it, how to get rid of, or what to do with.
mama’s got a brand new bag

What’s in your diaper bag? We’re guessing diapers, wipes, a change pad, extra clothes, receiving blankets, snacks, your cell, your wallet…the list goes on. You probably always have a good idea of the inventory inside your bag, but what about what’s on it? After being toted in and out of washrooms, sitting on floors and benches, being stuffed under strollers and more, the outside of your bag can harbour more bacteria than a toilet seat. Which is why we’re now using RuMe’s new ALL bag, which is, among other things, washable.
let them eat cupcakes
Filed Under Favourites, Stuff | May 4, 2010
Is there any day, problem or party that isn’t made a little bit better by cupcakes? And when those cupcakes have the perfect icing to cake ratio, taste yummy and are mini works of art, well, what’s not to love? After a quick glimpse at baker Lynday Sung’s blog you won’t be surprised to hear she graduated from Emily Carr and combined her artistic bent with a love of baking to create Coco Cake, a little local cupcake catering company.

owl over it

Any new mama who’s sung Hush Little Baby over and over and over again knows that music soothes a savage – or colicky, or upset, or overwhelmed – babe. But there’s only so much singing you can do, especially at 3 am. Which is just one of the reasons we think an Owl Musicbaby from mimishop on Etsy makes a lovely new baby gift.
snug as a chick in a rug

Babies come with a lot of stuff. Soothers, bottles, bibs, diapers, wipes and lots of blankets. Receiving, burping, swaddling, snuggling, sleeping…the list goes on when it comes to blankets. There is a blanket for every possible occasion.

Some of the things that come across our desk for testing are a little odd. Sometimes good odd. Sometimes not so good odd. So when we received the Head Snuggler from Melrose Kids we were perplexed. Was it just a gimmick or did it actually work?
