I don’t want to be JUST mom enough!
Maya Fitzpatrick in Just Between Us - 1 comment - posted on May 15th, 2012If you’re a parent, you’ve most likely seen the newest cover of TIME Magazine which shows a mother with her 3 year-old son breastfeeding while standing on a chair, with the headline “Are you mom enough?”. I first took notice of it last Thursday when just about every other post on my Facebook News Feed had the picture of the cover on it with a tag line question such as “What kind of mom do you want to be?” While most mothers reading this were uneasy with the picture or disagreed with attachment parenting, the majority of mothers were just … Continue reading

What Goes Up Must Come Down
Lisa - Fab Frugal Mama in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us - 1 comment - posted on Nov 9th, 2011A funny thing happened to me on the weekend. Well, let me rephrase that… a funny thing happened to my lamp on the weekend. You see, despite the platitude of warnings regarding throwing things in the house (balls, toys, shoes… you get the drift), it seems no one was listening. Again. Do I have to keep repeating myself? I guess I do, because this time the infraction cost me a lamp – and not just any lamp, the only new lamp I’ve purchased in the last five years! (Can someone tell me why it’s always the case?) It couldn’t have … Continue reading

Lisa - Fab Frugal Mama in For the love of food, Just Between Us - 4 comments - posted on Oct 15th, 2011My oldest loves popsicles. It doesn’t matter what time of year, be it hot or cold outside, she just LOOOOVES them! I don’t mind my kids some eating sugar, but as the adage goes “everything in moderation”. Now, since most popsicles are pure sugar (and artificial colouring, but that’s another story…), I try to get the 100% fruit juice pops at the grocery store. But let me tell you, they are NOT cheap! So, like a lot of moms, I figured I’d make my own, like my mom used to do when I was a kid. But, I was looking … Continue reading

(The dreaded) Nut Allergy and PTPA Winner I.M. Healthy SoyNut Butter
Deborah in Been Around the Blog, For the love of food, For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Product Reviews - 5 comments - posted on Apr 7th, 2011So unfortunately we’ve joined the “KEEP PEANUTS AWAY FROM MY CHILD!” club. We made this discovery a few weeks after Leah turned 1 year old. I knew that the books recommended waiting until after the age of 1 to introduce peanuts so a few weeks after Leah’s first birthday, I thought it would be okay to let her taste my peanut butter toast when she showed interest in it one morning. She touched the peanut butter and tasted it, but didn’t seem to particularly like it. Before I could wash her hands, she got some on her face and started … Continue reading
