    What Happened One Crazy Weekend with Robot Baby

    April 23, 2018 /

    On Friday I became a grandma. My oldest daughter became a Mom and Ainsley an aunt. Which by default then made my husband a grandpa. Robot Baby Lucas joined our family this weekend. And it was nostalgic, fun, comical and a little bit crazy bringing a pretend baby home. But it was also a whole lot more than that too. The road to toy robot baby Lucas began last year when Payton, then 15, told me she wanted to take a parenting course at school. She was giddy over the prospect of having Robot Baby for a weekend in grade 11. Initially I balked. How does a parenting course prepare you for a…

    Merry Christmas to everyone here who ever struggled with infertility, or knows someone close to them who had difficulty building a family. The holiday season can be challenging for parents in waiting. But, this season we have many reasons to celebrate in Ontario. This year Conceivable Dreams families and infertility patients are celebrating the second anniversary of the Ontario Fertility Program.

    A Consignment Shop That Makes Perfect Sense and a Chance to Win $100 #KidCentsFashion

    March 5, 2017 /

    If you haven’t discovered the beauty of buying and selling at a consignment shop yet, then you are in for a treat. Kid Cents consignment shop in the Lambeth area of London is a hidden resource for thrifty shoppers. It’s also a beautiful little opportunity to make income from your gently used clothing and household items. Kid Cents – A Consignment Shop that Brings Its A Game I have aways been an avid deal seeker. My Mom was a resourceful shopper out of necessity, and I grew up knowing the power of a sale. We shopped consignment shops when I was a child and we also sold clothing there. When I became…

    Nuryl Baby Brain App Using Smart Music

    November 24, 2016 /

    Have you heard of Nuryl app? Perhaps you should pay attention to this new baby brain app. Smart music equals a smart baby. It’s true. Science has shown that children who engage in musical activities do better in school across the board, especially in math. That same connection between music and better learning holds true for babies as well. That’s why Rick Beato, classically trained musician and former professor, developed Nuryl app. It’s a music app designed to boost baby’s cognitive development. So smart music really does qual a smart baby. When my daughters were very small I read a lot about brain development. At that time there was a children’s…

    Your Period and How Travel Affects It #travel

    November 1, 2016 /

    Your period is a normal function of your body. How your reproductive system is functioning can be an indicator of a bigger health issue. So it’s natural to be concerned if your very regular cycle is sometimes thrown into chaotic late, or abnormal heavy or even extreme light flow. Of course the first thing you wonder if your cycle changes or a period ceases to happen, is whether you are pregnant. But you might also start wondering if you have an illness. The truth is that if your period is late or you missed it all together while traveling, it’s probably JUST the traveling. Your Period and Travel There are lots of different ways…

    Ten Facts About World Polio Day #WorldPolioDay

    October 23, 2016 /

    This week as we mark World Polio Day I wanted to share a few facts about polio and the vaccine that saves lives. Just one week ago I was in Zambia doing a fellowship with the UN Foundation’s global vaccine program called Shot @ Life. On our last day in Livingstone, we visited the Mahatma Gandhi clinic where moms and dads brought their babies to receive the appropriate vaccines needed for their age group. Many babies were receiving the oral polio vaccine, as shown below. It’s the type of global vaccination initiative that Shot@Life supports in many countries around the world. The time we spent in Zambia was remarkable and educational.…

    Eight Most Useful Gifts for New Parents

    October 14, 2016 /

    Useful gifts for new parents can be invaluable. It’s not always the thought that counts alone. Gift giving for new parents needs to be a combination of heartfelt and useful. Brand new Moms and Dads are about to be their busiest ever. BUT, do we give them things that make their lives easier during the transition or do we spring for something whimsical and cute? Useful Gifts for New Parents Make Life Easier I loved my baby shower and it was magical from start to finish. The gifts that arrived were also treasured. At the end of the day though, I had about a billion onesies, dresses and blankets, but I…

    Most Popular Baby Names 2016

    May 19, 2016 /

    If you’re pregnant, you’re no doubt mulling over possible baby names. There are so many popular baby names out there. You could name your baby after a family member. Some people name their babies after television or movie characters. It seems that still others practically make up names for their babies. It can be quite a challenge, picking a baby name. The name we give a child will be the name they’re stuck with from the moment they’re pulled into the world until the moment they make their way out of it. It’s a big deal. If you’re not sure of a name or if the ones you’ve put forward to your partner…

    This is Part 2 in a series of posts about a Club Foot Diagnosis. Another Canadian Blogger and Mom, Crystal shares her family’s clubfoot journey. When we were pregnant with our son Mason, we found out via ultrasound that he could be born with a clubbed foot.

You can read all about our journey in the series of posts that I have written which starts here. The final leg of the treatment was the longest, from…
