Happy New Year everyone! Sorry I've been MIA for a little while... but I'm back and ready to go. :) I just had to let you know about the best freebie I've seen in awhile - and it's from one of my favourite mama-run companies, to boot! I've mentioned my love of Oliver's Labels in a previous post, and now you get to try their products... for FREE!! … [Read more...]
Starting solids!
With baby #2 starting solid foods this week, I've had a chance to try out a gadget I picked up a few months ago - the Boon Squirt food-dispensing spoon. I realized as soon as I started using it that this would be a wonderful, time-saving tool for me. You see, food is stored in the handle of the spoon, so if baby doesn't eat all of it, I can simply … [Read more...]
A little Christmas cheer
With the holidays in full swing, I figured today's tip should be about having a little fun with the kid(s). There's a wonderful website called the Portable North Pole that allows you to create a personalized video from Santa for your little munchkin. You can input as much, or as little, information as you wish (pictures, etc.), and you will … [Read more...]
Reuse & Recycle
If you're anything like me, your diaper bag is a MESS... not simply a cluttered bag, but a total and complete black hole. (And, with two kids, it only gets worse!) I almost resigned myself to the fact that it would always be that way - until I remembered a great tip from a mama friend of mine. She swore by using mini-organizers inside the … [Read more...]
Teething Troubles
I'm in the midst of my LEAST favourite baby phase - teething! If I could fast-forward over the crankiness, fussiness, sleepless nights and overall disruption that teething causes, I would. So, when friends tell me about products that help their little ones cope, I listen up! A few mamas have told me that their babies simply love the Life Factory … [Read more...]
Scanning Code of Practice – what it is and why you should know!!
Today's tip is all about the freebie... Yesterday, I was grocery shopping and, while in the baby aisle, picked up some onesies for baby #2. When it came time to pay, I noticed that the price was incorrect when the cashier scanned them in. I kindly mentioned to the cashier that the price was incorrect and she acknowledged it and entered the … [Read more...]
Tuesday’s Tip – November 9
Today's tip is all about the bargain. I'm constantly checking coupon sites like Retailmenot.com for promo codes for all my online purchases - and I usually find one! Word of mouth is amazing, too...why, just tonight, a girlfriend emailed me an online code for a free nursing cover (you just pay shipping). Now that's a deal! (Thanks, D!) Happy … [Read more...]
The Enforcer
“Daddy, I love you… even more than Mommy.” Cue the violins and the sound of my heart breaking. Truth is, I should’ve seen this coming. I chalk this up to being The Enforcer. In my household, that’s what I am. As a WAHM, I have the unenviable job of taking away privileges, enforcing bedtimes, doling out punishments and time-outs, and … [Read more...]
