We have had so much fun getting ready for Halloween this year, since Ashlyn is totally into it!  She’s too young to carve a pumpkin, but painting one was just as much fun for her (and slightly less mess for me).

Happy Halloween!

Ashlyn is so excited to about Halloween that she’s been fully dressed in her costume since 8 am! Thank goodness we had a Halloween party to go to this morning so she could show off her costume to her friends and celebrate Halloween all day long.  I don’t know how I’m going to hold . . . → Read More: Happy Halloween!

Strider The No Pedal PREbike

This summer, we went through 3 different tricycles for Ashlyn, trying to find just the right one.  One was given to her as a gift last year and it’s STILL too tall for her (even with those pedal extenders that I think are a huge accident waiting to happen), one had . . . → Read More: Strider The No Pedal PREbike

Our Fall Family Pictures

I love the colours of fall and since the girls are growing so fast (Ashlyn is 2.5 and Rowan is already 7 months old) we took some time this morning to brave the cool fall weather to have some family pictures taken outdoors in Ottawa.  I’m already trying to figure out where we can display them!

Rowan has started solids now and she enjoys food far more than her sister did at this age so I’m doing my best to come up with healthy and tasty recipes for her in the hopes that she will be a less picky eater.  I’m at our local Loblaws at least once a week as . . . → Read More: HUGGIES® Baby and You events at Loblaws (giveaway)

Our Halloween Traditions

Collages

Halloween is my husband’s favourite holiday, and this year it may be Ashlyn’s favourite too!  Between the costumes and her first year of Trick or Treating, she’s one excited kid.  This weekend we went to a local pumpkin patch (the same one that we visited last year) for our annual pumpkin hunt!

B is for Baking – recipes to make with your kids

BisforBaking

I have enjoyed baking since I was quite young, and I am happy to say that Ashlyn already loves to help me in the kitchen – cracking eggs is her favourite thing ever – and she’s always ready to drag her chair over to the counter to give me or her . . . → Read More: B is for Baking – recipes to make with your kids

BFFs take 2

Our kitty Echo has been BFF’s with Ashlyn for a while now, but it looks like Rowan is doing her best to make friends too.

Are you Scared Shrekless?

This is the first year that Ashlyn has been old enough to understand what goes on at Halloween, and it’s all she wants to talk about these days!  Luckily for us,  DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. has released a Double DVD Pack of Scared Shrekless and Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space, just in time . . . → Read More: Are you Scared Shrekless?

Ottawa Butterfly Show

DSC_0620-1-1

I took the girls to the annual biology butterfly show at Carleton University this morning.  We tried to go yesterday but the lineup was way too long for a toddler’s attention span.  We had a good time, despite a pooplosion that meant poor Rowan was wearing only a sweater and a blanket as an . . . → Read More: Ottawa Butterfly Show
