SMOOBEE Magic No Cry Hair Brush Review
ourkidsmom in Guest Blogaholic, Product Reviews - 0 comments - posted on Oct 30th, 2012My Emma loves to brush hair and to have her hair brushed. She has incredibly long locks and she often cries out when I brush through her tangled mess in the mornings. We are currently growing out her bangs and between brushing and pinning those back and getting her long hair off her neck there is a lot of brushing to be done. She doesn’t really have an ultra tender head, but she gets her fair share of knots and bed head. Having the right brush makes a world of difference. SMOOBEE was uniquely designed to effectively brush through hair … Continue reading
Calling all Hockey Moms!
momstown in For the love of parenting, Guest Blogaholic, Just Between Us - 5 comments - posted on Oct 25th, 2012I grew up skiing on weekends and my kids learned early on to ski, so I’m all for winter sports for sure – but hockey? I imagined cold arenas, dark mornings, and bad ice-rink snack bar coffee.
My husband couldn’t wait.
Me? I’d have to fake it. Or so I thought.

Heat in the microwave 3-5 seconds to make them puff up but not get too hot. 4. Add a chocolate … Continue reading
October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day
momstown in For the love of parenting, Get Inspired: Making a Difference, Guest Blogaholic, Special Needs - 5 comments - posted on Oct 10th, 2012The morning we left we discovered I was pregnant. We drove the Irish countryside dreaming about the idea of a new baby that we had told no one about yet. I sat in a lot of pubs drinking milk while my husband sampled Guinness and Scottish whiskey. Roadside, I vomited Irish oats and Scottish jam. I felt a sudden responsibility for the tiny 6 week baby inside me. We bought a pair of Scottish red tartan baby booties for our unborn child in celebration of the April 2005 due date. Continue reading

This Lil Piglet Dishes the Dirt
StaceyM in Guest Blogaholic - 12 comments - posted on Jun 18th, 2012A little over two years ago in March of 2010, I started a little hobby blog called This Lil Piglet to satisfy my need to for continuous mental stimulation after I was laid off from my career of 13 years in emergency services. I had been around the blogsphere, read many other blogs, entered a few blog giveaways, found a few favourites and had an epiphany, I was meant to blog. In the beginning I admit I wasn’t good at it; that is the first step, right? I’m surprised anyone ever read it but alas, I had fans; I had … Continue reading
Diving In and Ready to Swim!
Kathryn Lavallee in Guest Blogaholic - 17 comments - posted on Jun 15th, 2012When I first started Mommy Kat and Kids, I was probably the biggest stranger to social media that has every wandered blindly into the blogosphere. I’m a writer. Not a techie, not a social media maven, not a public relations expert. Just a writer. So when I launched my site, I was only vaguely aware that there was such a thing as a blogosphere and I had no idea how it actually functioned. While I soon had fellow bloggers following my site with my handy little Google Friend Connect widget so kindly provided by Blogger, I didn’t know how I … Continue reading
