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 […]
Smartick helps children have fun while improving math skills!
“Mom, can I do Smartick?” is a request I hear several times a day. Since my girls usually complain about doing math, I’m excited that they’re finally excited about doing it. I have to agree with them that Smartick does make math fun. With lessons, games, and even an online “allowance,” Smartick teaches and reinforces […]

Genial Day: chemical-Free comfort for that time of month
One piece of advice my first midwives gave me, nine years ago, still sticks with me. They mentioned that most feminine hygiene products contain harmful chemicals that interfere with a woman’s postpartum healing. Since then, I’ve looked for natural pads and products for my period. However, these products aren’t always easy to find. Genial Day […]
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 […]
The Mifold Booster Seat revolutionizes travel with kids
All four of my girls are currently in car seats. The older two are in booster seats and the younger two are in standard car seats. This often creates hassles for us. If we want to fly back to Alberta to visit family, I have to haul all four car seats along with us. If […]
