We have officially celebrated 5 Christmases as a family of three, and along the way, we have established a few Christmas traditions for the family that we look forward to every year. But first… let’s take a moment to admire the insane beauty that is our city… shall we? photo credit – Doug Clement Photography ©2015 […]
A Mary Poppins Halloween :: FAM-O-WEEN with Little Mama Poppins
Chim chimney chim chimney chim chim che BOO! Little Mama Poppins does it again. She took a classic, and made it her own. All in the name of Halloween – A Mary Poppins Halloween! And as always… we were her mere accessories. I grew up watching Mary Poppins on repeat. Who didn’t? There’s just something about […]
Grieving Families – Fathers and Siblings Grieve too :: Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month
Grieving families. It’s something we just don’t talk enough about. Every year, when October rolls around, there’s an overall sense of melancholy that creeps up on my Facebook and Twitter newsfeeds. Many of my friends, and an abundance of facebook groups and communities I have joined, put up quotes, photos of memory boxes, tiny footprints […]
Ways to Help my Child Stay Asleep :: Vol. 43 #5Faves
It’s a miracle! MY KID SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT! To all my fellow sleep deprived parents – I am not here to boast, believe me. After 5 1/2 years of failed attempts, about a zillion tears (and I’m not just talking about Little Mama‘s) I am here to tell you… There. Is. Hope. It’s been half […]
5 Coping Tools For The Overwhelmed Child :: Vol. 42 #5Faves
We did it. We survived first week of Kindergarten. Sorry. I guess I should be saying, SHE survived it. Yes, with flying colors. No, not without a hitch (or eight). We had a couple (dozen) random meltdowns, one-sided conversations (and yes, I’m talking about my side…), and an overall change of pace throughout this week. For the most […]
Back to School For Mom :: Vol. 41 #5Faves
Today, is the 2nd full day of Little Mama being in kindergarten. For the last month of mind-boggling preparation for first day of school, I have simply forgotten what it means to be back to school for mom. Moreover, I have been so distracted by the anxiety and worry about Little Mama being away from me for more […]
First Day of Kindergarten for Little Mama
It’s the first day of kindergarten for Little Mama. And she is nothing short of thrilled. But me on the other hand… I’m just… sad. Why? Because for the last 5 consecutive years, this has been my life… And now, I can barely lift her in my arms. She’s far too busy reaching her own heights. It’s first […]
5 Reasons Why I Take A Summer Break from Blogging :: Vol. 40 #5Faves
Is it obvious that I haven’t really been around much lately? Other than our weekly 5Faves post, I have pretty much been MIA from the blogging circuit. I have about a million reasons why I take an annual summer break from blogging, but it still doesn’t put the brakes on the guilt that follows closely […]
Teaching My Child the 5 Signs of a Great Friend :: Vol. 39 #5Faves
Back-to-school is literally moments away (for us, anyway… the rest of the world is pretty much in full swing), and backpacks, pencil cases, and bento boxes are flying off the shelves. Kids are squeezing in the last chapters of their summer reads, while parents are pulling their hair out making all attempts to nail down their kiddo’s […]
5 Things We Do Before Summer Ends :: Vol. 36 #5Faves
I would be remiss to place all the emphasis on back-to-school to-do lists this coming of fall, without diving into our fave things we do before summer ends. After all, summer is still here in full force. What’s the big rush? There are about a million things we love to do as a family, as a couple, […]
5 Back To School Must Dos :: Vol. 35 #5Faves
Where did July go? Better yet, where did January go? How are we already talking about back to school must dos, when we are barely scratching summer’s surface? Apparently, in spite of the validity of this question, it’s all the world, their kids, and their kids’ dogs are talking about these days. What to wear? […]
5 Reasons Why We Visit Cousins Every Summer :: Vol. 34 #5Faves
I feel for my Little Mama. Sure, she’s happy, content with life overall, free of any cares in the world. But there’s something in her life that is missing – something I always had surrounding me during my entire childhood, something I wish so desperately she had in her everyday life. Cousins. She has about a gazillion […]
5 Reasons Why My Daughter Loves New York City :: Vol. 33 #5Faves
As a mini fashionista and travelista in her own right, Little Mama can’t help but have a deep love and fascination of The Big Apple. At least once every second season of dragging my little one to fashion shows in the east coast, someone always asks me why my daughter loves New York City so much. […]
5 Things I Do to Prepare for Summer Travel :: Vol. 32 #5Faves
It’s that time of year when we have to start thinking about how to prepare for summer travel, and in fact, here I am, mere hours away from catching my flight feeling an overwhelming sense of calm and excitement. I am quite certain it has everything to do with the fact that I completed my […]
5 Ideas for Patriotic Kids Outfits :: Vol. 31 #5Faves
Finding patriotic kids outfits sounds simple enough, but we have discovered over the last handful of years, that it is no easy feat. Even more interesting, is when the little one is both American and Canadian – and is completely against wearing Happy 4th! or Oh Canada! shirts. So, while everyone else is dusting off their BBQs, […]
5 Ideas for Long Weekend Family Fun :: Vol. 30 #5Faves
With Canada Day and the 4th of July around the corner (yes, we celebrate both), our family is always on the hunt for long weekend family fun. Don’t get me wrong – we enjoy our share of lazy Sundays at home, but sometimes it does the soul (and the body) some good when we get out and […]
