My tips for surviving Hand, Foot and Mouth has been a really popular post for me – so I decided to make another due to recent experiences. Stomach virus/stomach bug. Last Friday, we were away for Ukranian Christmas celebrations – 3 hours away from home. And James started vomiting. I could not figure out how […]

I’m running behind, again so I figured I just put these two posts together instead of trying to produce a rushed one for ten months. We’ve had a busy little bit, but our biggest change or milestone has been James’ move to his “own” room – which is a shared room with Maggie. I waited […]

New series alert: informed choices is certainly not done and I want to keep chipping away at it in the new year, but I also want to bring a more widely applicable series to the blog. “The Science Behind” is going to be an evidence review of common products, medications, vitamins, supplements and more so […]

I recently talked a bit about play mats in my 0-6 month toy round up post – mentioning how we have used a small play mat (slowly graduating to the larger ALZip Eco Color Folder mat by Wunderkids) since James was a newborn. Let’s explore any evidence behind play mat use, what you can use […]

I just shared a brief post about this on my Instagram but I figured I’d do a little write up too – before the fall season disappears. Disclaimer: I do not have the time or energy to do this kind of stuff every week. Maggie is usually in daycare 3-4 days a week and home […]

I have been sharing a few items we use each month in some of my James Monthly updates, but I thought it would be convenient to compile some of our favourite toys and playroom (that we don’t have) items into one post for easy browsing and shopping. Please note that I do use Amazon associate […]
