I feel like I’ve been stuck in the house for way too long! Here are a few things I always look forward to every summer. 1 – The heat! I will never complain about the heat.

The next car seat… what to get?
Ladena (MyBabyStuff.ca) in Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics - 11 comments - posted on May 24th, 2011We’re at that point where the infant car seat just isn’t cutting it.

I’ve narrowed it down to two highly rated car seats and am going to have to make my decision this week. How … Continue reading
Hawaii update: we survived and loved it

Ladena (MyBabyStuff.ca) in PTPA in the News, Product Reviews - 0 comments - posted on Apr 4th, 2011This week I am reviewing a great new Canadian product called Easy Daysies.
