Beautiful Calling

I can still recall that crisp fall day that my little 18 month Chloe, who couldn’t talk yet, picked out her first pair of shoes: brown polka dot Giseles by Pediped. Since then we’ve purchased many, many pair of Pediped. Why? I’m glad you asked! It’s not because of the price to be sure. But [...]

The also make wipes cubes which are listed under essential cloth diapering gear! In August they partnered with another Canadian company! Now you can buy your cloth [...]

I believe that life is enjoyed so much the more when we take time to celebrate the everyday things; a doll’s birthday, a rainy day, an un-birthday (my MIL loves this one!), a successful potty day, a PJ day, coloring inside the lines… If you visit the Kinder Canada Facebook Page, you’ll find ideas for [...]

Energizer is proud to contribute $100,000 to Evergreen and they want you and I to help! Pledge to make a few little changes to improve the environment [...]

 (Isaac and I are sitting on the floor right now with the laptop. This post is a joint effort. He provides the cutie picture and I do the typing.) For the longest time, I resisted the Facebook trend, thinking it a waste of time – until I realized how valuable it could be.  Baby and [...]

I have happy childhood memories of Kinder Surprise and as an adult, I now have even more! I love to eat Kinder eggs myself and they’re a huge hit with my children but the person that I have bought the most Kinder Surprises for? My husband. He loves those decadent chocolate eggs! He gets them [...]

This adorable face is what peeks up at me when I’m wearing him in the Boba. I love it! My Wearing History I love carrying my babies, but that wasn’t always the case. When my first child was a baby, I gave babywearing a try with a borrowed ‘snuggli’ but it was a flop. Chloe [...]
