Babywearing, now a nice new shade of green

Belle is now extra verte. That's, Belle as in Belle Baby Carrier, and verte as in French for green, and green as in super-duper-eco-friendly-organic-awesomeness. The new Belle Organic Earth, like their original model, is crafted by artis…

Hello Baby Hawk, my new love.

I'm so sorry, old buckle carrier, but we're breaking up. I met someone new. My new love is the Oh Snap! by BabyHawk , and I'm trying to find out if it's legal to marry your baby carrier. I'm a monogamous sort of girl, and even though I h…

Sleep, my little valentine. Sleep.

There's no shortage of Valentine's Day attire for little girls (like the Kideko heart pajamas we found this week) , but when it comes to boys, it's pretty slim pickings. And I get it. Dressing a boy in a rose-colored heart shirt is a tou…

The baby bibs for full contact eaters

The more time I spend around other people's babies, the more I realize how lucky I was that my own weren't the types to end up with more peas on their bodies than in their mouths at meal time. For those kids who like to get a little more…

When you research enough to give the very best

I like giving the best gift at the baby shower . Call me competitive, but I just feel that as a mom of two young kids that I should be better equipped to pick out the perfect gift than Great-Aunt Mary who still thinks the baby should be …

Move over Snuggie.

Move over Snuggie.

The stories are true. It gets darn cold up here in Canada in the winter. The kind of cold that makes your kids stand inside, shivering as they look out the front door, let alone open it and walk out. So, if we ever want to go anywhere at…

Score one more for Scandinavia

Pick a pair of Pampers

A diaper caddy isn't exactly the most essential piece in your nursery, but when you think about it, it's pretty important. You use it several times a day, for three or four years--not even my crib got that much use. So when I saw a Toron…

Air Protect - Car seat safety from every angle

The hottest accessory for the coldest temperatures

I had my baby in February, which meant my son's little toes needed to be kept warm. He was too young for shoes, and the baby socks I had for him spent more time on the floor than on his feet. But the socks from Trumpette are known for st…

Baby slings with a story

I'd all but retired my baby slings with my youngest just turning one, but then I remembered how fantastic and handy slings are for toddlers (hello, hip carry!) thanks to Small Wish . It's hard to go wrong considering the lovely fabric ch…

For more pleasant dreams, try buckwheat.

Who ever knew that something like the perfect toddler pillow could be so instrumental in getting my daughter to sleep in her own bed? But that's just what happened with the buckwheat toddler pillow from the lovely mom-run Honeydumplings …
