Why are there so many different types of thermometers? No, seriously. There is. There are ear (tympanic), forehead (temporal), or multi-use thermometers (for oral, rectal, or digital – but make sure to buy a separate one for rectal… 🙂). Is one better than the other? Are some more accurate? Lets take a look at the…

I don’t know about your babies, but in this house we love baths. I loved them when I was pregnant (still do but in pregnancy I was taking a bath almost daily in third trimester) and Maggie has pretty much loved them since she was a newborn. A bath is often one of those first…

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I love small shops. I have previously shared some small shops I loved in other posts (here and here) but I thought, just in time for the holidays, I’d help promote a few that I adore! I’ve also included a list at the end of a…

I don’t love using the word “essential” when it’s not actually something that is necessary – you can take a baby to the beach basically with just a towel. They can go in the water naked, you really don’t even require swim diapers if you don’t want. “Needs” and “wants” are so different for every…

Since my Birth Story vlog was so popular, I had some requests for a video about my postpartum experience. You ask and you shall receive! Please find the video below. I have also linked several items I discussed in the video in this post and a few I didn’t get a chance to mention that…

Since most new parents are being robbed of the opportunity to have a real baby shower, many are relying heavily on the use of online registries to go along with virtual showers or “drive-by” shower celebrations. As a result I thought it might be useful to share some of my favourite baby items for the…
