Put the FUN in chores!
Ladena (MyBabyStuff.ca) in For the love of parenting, New Mommy Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on Feb 20th, 2012My husband and I have been trying to find a fun way to get our daughter more involved in helping out around the house. A creative friend gave me a great idea of how to make choosing a chore fun. I decided to try it out. Here’s what I did. 1 - Brainstorm a list of age appropriate chores for your little one. My 4 year old can only do so much tidying or cleaning so we decided to add a few activities to the list. Our list comprised of things like “help set the table” and “read a book”. 2 – Head … Continue reading

Tasty eats with Baby Gourmet
Ladena (MyBabyStuff.ca) in Enter to Win!, For the love of food - 1 comment - posted on Dec 1st, 2011My little man has been testing out and loving Baby Gourmet foods for the last few weeks. When I received the products I was so impressed with the variety that Baby Gourmet offered. This is not your typical baby food. Your baby will love flavours like Juicy Pear and Garden Greens, Sweet Potato Pie to Apple Crisp. These flavours are so tasty you’ll find yourself sneaking a bite here and there. What I love most about Baby Gourmet: The packaging – no jars here! Just easy to use and reseal BPA Free pouches. The variety – with flavours like Apple Crisp there’s something special for every baby. No added sugar, no … Continue reading
Safe with I.C.E. Tags
Ladena (MyBabyStuff.ca) in Product Reviews - 0 comments - posted on Oct 19th, 2011I was recently given the opportunity to test out some I.C.E. tags from www.IceTag.ca. What is an I.C.E. tag? Its a “In Case of Emergency” tag you can add to your keychain, to your backpack or even yourshoes that has emergency contact information for you or your child. Right away I thought these tags were super smart. They are very easy to use and are easily identified when on your person. I especially think these tags are important for children to have since they may not know how to contact a parent or guardian if they are lost or in an emergency situation. There is a wide variety of I.C.E. tags … Continue reading

Soft and Dry: Loving the Oops Sheet!
Ladena (MyBabyStuff.ca) in Just Between Us, Product Reviews - 0 comments - posted on Jul 14th, 2011About a month ago I received a protective mattress sheet called the Oops Sheet for my daughter’s bed. This was perfect timing as we were talking about quitting the Pull-ups at night. My daughter was nervous about not wearing her “night time diaper” because she really didn’t want to wet the bed. I put the Oops Sheet on her bed and explained that it would protect her mattress if she had a pee-pee in the middle of the night. This made her feel more confident about the whole thing. It was set, we were trying out this new sheet. Here are a … Continue reading

One of my daughter’s favourite memories from last year. Its simple but very … Continue reading
