Disclosure - This is a sponsored post in partnership with Endy. As always, all thoughts and opinions expressed on this blog are honest and my own. I have always had a challenging time getting a good night's sleep. I can't say that motherhood and having a child is to blame for my sleep issues, but that's part of it. In the past, I used to wake up several times during the … [Read more...]
Going from #SagToSwag with Pampers Cruisers
I would be lying if I said I haven't been entertaining the thought of having another baby. The thought has entered my mind, and as the birth announcements from several friends have been flooding my Facebook and inbox, I have been feeling the want for another baby more and more. Within just the past two weeks, my friend and his husband announced the birth of their twins and … [Read more...]

Preventing Mosquitoes with #GreenStrike
We love outdoor dining and spending lots of time out on the patio. This said, it's been a humid Summer and in the beginning of Spring, we had lots of rain. You know what that means! Mosquitoes! Mosquitoes love breeding in those kinds of conditions. I say this all the time. I love being outdoors...I just hate mosquitoes! Maybe it's just my bad memory, but I don't … [Read more...]

2014 Holiday Gift Guide
With Halloween and Thanksgiving long behind us, it's almost that time the next big Holiday! Though I'm a big advocate for making heart-felt gifts (I love gifts that are handmade and have lots of thought put into making them) and I love locally made gifts, I admit that I do have a few items on my wishlist that are not local or handmade. *Ahem* VITAMIX. Do you do your … [Read more...]
Style & Comfort: Little Jill Yoga
Be active. Be bold. Be you. I love that motto by Jill Yoga! Their Little Jill Yoga line really does enable little girls to be all of those three things. We were recently introduced to the Little Jill Yoga line of clothing on the Jack and Jill Kids site and I have to say that my six year old daughter is in her element! The clothing is very well-made and super comfortable. … [Read more...]
Yikes! Sensitive Teeth! #PGmom
All my life, I have never had any issues with my teeth. As a kid, I didn't get many cavities. As an adult, I have none. Ha! I guess my only issues (which weren't really issues) have been a mild under bite and a tooth that is turned 90 degrees. That tooth looks like I've got one fang. I know. Weird. I've never been bothered by either of those "issues". I did have a … [Read more...]
I See Me!
There's nothing that warms my heart more than seeing Little One's love of books and reading. Though she's not reading completely on her own yet, she is able to read her leveled readers and books with short sentences to us. I love that Little One asks for several bedtime stories each night. What I love even more is Little One's reaction when she received her I See Me! … [Read more...]
Little One Loves Little Live Pets & Beados #giveaway
My five year old (Ahhh! Almost six year old) is passionate about many things. She loves music and dance, science and nature, cooking and baking (and eating), and pretending she has her own YouTube channel so she can do "tutorials" and vlogs! Recently, she combined her love of vlogging and her love of Little Live Pets and Beados! What are Beados? My little girl loves … [Read more...]
How to Properly Load a Dishwasher
I know what you're thinking. How to properly load a dishwasher? There's a right way to load a dishwasher? Oh! Yes, my friends, there is! I haven't always been a prized pupil in the science of dish washing. Oh, no. In fact, I've been a wayward student who wanted to do things my own way because I thought my way was better, more efficient, and faster. Until I was … [Read more...]
Kids and Healthy Teeth
As a parent, there are so many things I think about when it comes to raising Little One. When she was an infant, I went all Terms of Endearment and climbed into her crib and placed my ear by her mouth to hear if she was breathing. I even did the mirror test and was happy to see that her breath made the mirror all fogged up. It meant that our little preemie was breathing. Yes. … [Read more...]
Lice Squad to the Rescue! #giveaway
Oh, boy. When Little One first started school, one of the things I worried about the most was...LICE! Growing up, I don't recall too many kids having issues with lice. Perhaps they had it and it was no big deal. I'm not sure, but we never really heard much about it. I know that lice is in kids can be quite common and that it isn't serious health-wise (and more of a … [Read more...]
Getting Beach-Ready with Suncoat Girl!
Guess what? School's out for Summer! Living on Manitoulin Island, that means lots of beach and outdoor fun! With lots of beaches in every direction from us, we spend a lot of time outdoors. Little One reminded me that since she'll be in flip flops and sandals all Summer, she wanted to make sure we had a Mommy/Daughter mani/pedi date...on our patio! We started by sipping … [Read more...]
