Review: Baby Monitor … See More. Hear More. Worry Less.
Have you ever spent time in the baby monitor aisle only to leave the store feeling confused and overwhelmed? I’ve been there too. Also, a lot has also changed since Harper was a baby, so I had to really do my homework.
Review: The Best of Children's Booster Seats
Guys, I am so excited to announce that I have partnered with @BabiesRUs_Canada this year and agreed to a role that I couldn’t turn down. They’ve asked me to review some key products and I’ve made a commitment to provide my honest opinion on each.

Breaking Down Back-To-School Lunchtime Expectations
The beginning of school for families can be FULL of expectations. I know this from experience and I admit, I'm still guilty of it ... especially when it comes to school lunches. I had the chance to sit with my friend, Nishta, who is a Registered Dietitian, childhood and family nutrition expert and most importantly, she is a mom of two! She gave me a reality check when it came to some of the expectations I had when Harper was going into SK. I thought this was such an important topic that it had to be shared. Here are some of the most common expectations written by Nishta ... hope this helps!

Exercise Your Baby’s Brain Muscles!
When I had my second baby, this passion to bond through music continued. This time I was introduced to an amazing new musical app called Smart Start.

What’s more, I didn’t have to leave my home to experience its benefits. It’s literally like having a music class in my pocket!
Breakfast Smoothies Made Easy
80% of the time I have breakfast on the go and it is usually a smoothie of some sort! We all know mornings can be pretty chaotic, so having simple smoothie recipes on hand makes life so much easier. You can blend, pour and take it out the door with you! I'll get right to the point and share my favourite (SUPER EASY) breakfast smoothies; hopefully they make your mornings less crazy too.

It's always just been Harper the past 5 years; it's crazy to think that soon enough there will be another "mini me". I asked some of my fave mamas on the gram for some advice on going from one to two kiddies. They give me the low down as I prepare for our second bundle of joy any day now!
