In those nine months we have been inundated with pink clothes, midnight feedings, [...]

The recent warm weather and burst of spring showers had prompted my son into a desire for puddle jumping. Of course, the rubber boots he donned last year were far from fitting onto his now three-year-old toes, so off to the store we went to get a new pair.
Not thinking and trying to multi-task, Dad [...]

Last year, five of my friends, including myself, were all pregnant. It was the first baby for all of them, but I was on my second. The days of their disinterest as I rambled on about the greatest children’s products were now ignited by their own fervour and zest for the latest baby merchandise. I [...]

When my daughter was somewhere around the six month mark and I was starting to lose my mind in a serious way due to lack of sleep…I stumbled upon a book, “Itsy Bitsy Yoga – Poses to Help Your Baby Sleep Longer, Digest Better, and Grow Stronger“, on one of my many internet searches. I [...]
