Julia M Chiarella-Genoni in For the love of parenting, Get Inspired: Making a Difference, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews - 3 comments - posted on Nov 2nd, 2012I always feel bad for children that suffer from severe eczema. It can be so painful and it can take years for it to go away, if ever. That’s why I am so happy to be part of La Roche-Posay Canada campaign helping 100 families across Canada live a more comfortable life with eczema. When I was young, I had eczema everywhere; my scalp, anywhere my skin folded, such as my knees, elbows, in between my toes, on my stomach, behind my ears…it was everywhere.

Julia M Chiarella-Genoni in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics - 3 comments - posted on Aug 29th, 2012There seems to be a baby surge in my group of friends lately! I thought I would send out a blog post to all you mamas and mamas-to-be to make you laugh (and possibly cringe). These comments were actually said to me either during my first pregnancy or my second with twins – no joke! 1. Stop sticking out your tummy. 2. You know, you don’t have to eat for two now. 3.

Water Safety – Surviving Summer
Julia M Chiarella-Genoni in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 7 comments - posted on Jul 17th, 2012It takes a second. It takes a second for a lot of things. To lose grip of your child’s hand as they trip on a rock, to lose sight of your child in a park, to lose track of time when you say you will only be…a second. Parents, I urge you, keep a watchful eye on your children this summer and always. Especially near water. It would be unfit of me as a mama blogger to not address a major issue going on right now where I live. If you are not familiar with the news in Quebec, (with … Continue reading
Are you a magic purse mama?
Julia M Chiarella-Genoni in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Organized Chaos Blogaholics - 1 comment - posted on Jul 8th, 2012Are the the go-to mom when some child in the park needs a napkin or a Band-Aid? Or are you the mom who is desperately asking someone else for help? Hey! We’ve all been there. You had every intention of putting those wipes in your purse from the last time you went out without them and then suddenly, you are faced with the same problem again. And although there is always a solution (asking a friend or fellow mama, or being very MacGyver and using unusual items to solve the problem) wouldn’t it be nice to have your purse ready … Continue reading
