This past month has been one full of growth! I really have noticed him actually growing and changing this month. Sometimes it takes you by surprise (like when they’re suddenly not a newborn anymore) but I swear some months you actually see their growth over a 24-48 hour period! It’s crazy.

Click here to see my favourite Canadian small shops from last year. I did a few gift guides last year, and I really enjoyed doing it because it helped me to reflect on all the shops/brands I’ve loved and used in the past year. I will do a separate guide for mom/expecting mom as well […]

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 […]
