B Kids Soft Peek-A-Boo Blocks and Stack’n Link Pal

HGG2011ornament2

 

Rowan is 8 months old and has hit the super cute, interactive, playing with toys phase.  It can be a challenge to find simple toys that don’t require batteries and that don’t cost an arm and a leg.  B Kids and Southard Inc were kind enough to provide me with two new toys . . . → Read More: B Kids Soft Peek-A-Boo Blocks and Stack’n Link Pal

I’ve been using cloth diapers for 2.5 years now, but I still love to find new brands, especially ones sold here in Canada and that are very reasonably priced.  Done With Disposables is based out of Toronto and is run by a mom of 2 who understands that the upfront cost can be a huge . . . → Read More: Done with Disposables cloth diapers (giveaway)

Wordless Wednesday – Halloween 2011

She loved trick or treating.

She loved all the goodies that she collected.

But most of all, she loved handing out candy to the other kids!  When there wasn’t anyone at our door, she was peering out of the windows and calling out “come to our door, we . . . → Read More: Wordless Wednesday – Halloween 2011

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).

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

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!

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
