I’ve been using cloth diapers since my oldest was a baby. In those nine years, we’ve been through two sets of cloth diapers and tried a few different companies. I’ve always stuck to pocket diapers and all-in-one diapers, because they seem the easiest. Recently, I discovered Omaiki Cloth Diapers. I was so excited to add […]
Rediscovering Birth by Sheila Kitzinger
Childbirth is a universal experience, shared by women around the world since the world began. At the same time, it is a vastly different experience for women in different parts of the world, from the woman who delivers in a hospital room with a doctor in North America to the woman who crouches in a […]
Why Every Nursing Mom Needs a Breast Pump #AventMoms
Before Sunshine was born, I was happy to have recommendations from friends and family members about what we’d need for a new baby. One of those recommendations came from my sister-in-law, who said I’d need a breast pump. Even though I was planning to breastfeed, I bought myself the Philips Avent pump she suggested. I’m […]
5 Reasons I Love the Philips Avent Digital Video Baby Monitor
I didn’t start using a baby monitor until my third daughter was born. Looking back, I’m not sure how I managed without it. Maybe we had a smaller house, or maybe it was quieter back then with only one baby. We still have a small place, but I rely heavily on the baby monitor when […]
Tips for Choosing the Best Car Seat for Your Baby
For new parents, a car seat is one of the biggest and most important purchases to be made.

Baby Mealtime Products from Tommee Tippee make feeding easy!
These days, baby mealtime with Pearl feels like a reality TV show called “Eat it or drop it.” I give her some food and wait to see what happens. If she likes it, she eats it. If she doesn’t like it, she sweeps it off the table or picks it up and holds her hand […]
Start a New Tradition with a Personalized Christmas Book from I See Me!
Christmas traditions are a big part of what makes the holiday season special and memorable. When I was growing up, my mom only bought Mandarin oranges around Christmas because that’s when they were cheapest. Today, peeling an orange still brings back memories of Christmas (even if I’m eating it in the summer!). Other families have […]

I had the chance to meet Rebecca Aston, the mom behind Aston Baby Online, at a Vancouver Mom Top Blogger party. I’m super excited to be featuring her Shaughnessy Shoes in my Christmas Gift Guide. Most of the shoes my girls have worn as babies have been gifts. First shoes are special for a baby—how […]
KooShoo Pants Grow with Baby!
When people comment about me having all girls, one of my go-to responses is, “It makes dressing them easy! We just hand down the clothes.” I rarely need to go shopping for them; I just dig through my closet for the right bin and voila! one of the girls has a new wardrobe. With Pearl, […]
Tips for Weaning Your Baby or Toddler from Breastfeeding
With my oldest daughter, my goal was to breastfeed her until she was one. She weaned when she was about 14 months, the youngest of my girls to give up “mommy’s milk.” All of mine have weaned fairly easily (though they’ve kept up their night feedings for longer than I’d like). Here, other nursing moms […]
