The Endorsement Parents Look For

One of the things the amazing people at PlaSmart said when they agreed to let me do a review and giveaway of one of their PlasmaCars, was that I should only use photos or videos that I took myself. As you can see from the image above, it looks as though I didn’t follow their instructions very closely…. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I can assure you that those 4 PlasmaCars all belong to me! You see, my wife runs a daycare in her spare time (LOL, kidding honey!) and we have 6 kids in the house at any given time. Even … Continue reading

When you have 4 children back-back such as we do, there comes a time when even great-grandma has put in her time to help give the baby a little push. Or when grandma has taken the stroller for a walk around the block well you attend your doctor’s appointment. Or when the cousins are over playing mom and dad, it is always a blast when you can pretend to take a real baby for a walk. Well since I have had the pleasure & honour to parent test the latest PTPA winner, the CITY MINI GT, by Baby Jogger. The above situations have happened more than once … Continue reading

        SunRype is filled with 70% fruit or fruit and veggies and 30% grains and seeds, with nothing else added – no processed or refined sugars, no fillers and no bad stuff!! Just Fruit and Grains is a new snack by Sunripe! Much like any breakfast cereal bar, the bars are all individually packaged and sold separately or in a box. The difference is that it combines a breakfast cereal bar with a fruit bar for a textured taste. Initially, my husband and I really enjoyed these bars. It is nice to know that you are getting … Continue reading

I am not sure I have shared my dislike of laundry with you, my readers just yet. With a family of 6, it’s given that each week I do over 9 loads of laundry! YES, that’s more then 1 load a day! It’s the task I dread each day. There is no system I have found that makes it easier. But their is one thing that makes me smile, when I pull it out of the dryer. The smell of freshly washed clothes! I always bring in a piece of clothing in for a closer sniff. Mmmm the scent just takes me away, for … Continue reading

The days of teething babies are over in our house as we know it but oh, the memories we have are ones we won’t soon forget. One of the worst feelings in the world being a new mom is hearing your baby crying because she is cutting teeth and there isn’t much you can do although you’ve tried just about everything to sooth her. When I was asked to take a look at TeethEase teething jewelry I thought back to our own kids, when they were at the teething stage of babyhood. The nights we spent trying everything we could as … Continue reading

I am a bit of a germ-a-phobic. I cringe at restaurant high chairs, I dislike touching the shopping cart handle. And I love to nurse in public. Well I have been introduced to a product that will help me achieve fewer germs touching my baby, and less heads turning my way when I nurse. SnuzzleMe 6-in-1 plus Organic Infant Carrier Cover, is a 6 in 1 product. Made by a MOM for MOM’s!! This wonderful mother has freed up my diaper bag, and allowed me to relax a bit in public. I use it as a car seat cover, especially in the cooler Canadian Winters. So … Continue reading

If I had to describe myself, I’d say I’m a Type-B personality (definitely not Type-A – that’s best left to hubby!). But, when it comes to my children’s safety, I definitely take on some Type-A characteristics. Ever since Baby #1, I’ve been somewhat obsessed with car safety. All I could think of was that this little, tiny body was going to be cocooned in a car seat that could potentially save her life one day. That’s a big deal. So, I started doing some research on car seats and realized that the process of choosing, installing and using a car … Continue reading
