By far the biggest adjustment I have had to make as a parent is meal planning, preparation and cooking. Gone are the days of having bagels, lox and cream cheese after ultimate practice at 9:30 pm. Or a sandwich, or cereal, or whatever is in the cupboard because I don’t feel like cooking. Instead, I [...]

Earlier this year the FDA said it is taking a second look at bisphenol A (BPA), after originally stating that it was safe. Canada is a little bit more strict about BPA exposure, particularly for kids, but is it enough? Here’s an interesting article about sources of BPA and how you can be exposed. It [...]

Our daughter loves trees. At the park earlier this week, she crawled over to a tree that was about 10 feet away and then spent several minutes standing up and patting the trunk. She also likes lying on her back and looking up at the leaves swaying in the wind. It’s pretty neat to watch [...]

I love spring as much as the next person, but we could do with some warmth. We have so many cute summer dresses for Amelia that I fear she may never get to wear if the weather doesn’t warm up. She’s still wearing her winter hat outside when we go for walks and I often [...]

I entered the contest and won! Woohoo! So, Amelia will now be the proud owner of [...]

As a former lifeguard, and for the past 12 years an ultimate player who spends many, many, many hours outside in the summer under the hot sun, I buy a ton of sunscreen. Until I was pregnant, however, I didn’t really think too much about what actually goes into sunscreen. My main requirements were 1) [...]

It has been a while since I posted some interesting links:
1) I have been enjoying reading this fellow “mommy blogger.” She writes with such candor and honesty that I can’t help but admire her. And she’s funny.
2) They have a composting service in Montreal where they will come to your house on a weekly basis [...]

I’ve been storing up links like mad but haven’t had time to post them. Here are a few of my favourites from this week:
1) Stuff White People Like – Warning, this site is hilarious and you will likely waste plenty of time reading the entries. I particularly found #110 (Ultimate) and #99 (Grammar) amusing, but [...]

We went to this cute baby store near IKEA last week to use a gift certificate we received. Here is one of Amelia’s outfits.
Shirt Translation: A butterfly is a flower that flies.
Amelia’s Look Translation: Daddy, I can make you do anything I say. Just you wait.

A while ago I discussed wanting to check out products from Yes To Carrots because they were paraben-free, among other things. I have been using their facial moisturizer and body moisturizer for a couple of months and so far so good. I think the facial cream smells better than the body cream, but neither fragrance [...]
