Disclosure: Sass & Smalls was provided with Beauté Pacifique Vitamin A Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream for review. All opinions are our own. Being a mom of an extremely curious toddler and a busy kiddo at school, has not only kept my adrenaline levels at an all time high and my energy at an all time low […]
5 Strategies for Raising an Independent Toddler :: Coco Village 2 in 1 Balance Bike
Raising an Independent toddler, child, or human for that matter, hasn’t always been part of my M.O as mom. Anyone who knows me well – heck, anyone who’s seen me with anyone’s child, let alone my own, knows that I completely define the meaning of helicopter parent. I am guilty of hovering, following, peeking, checking […]
Pedalheads Summer Bike Camp Level 2 :: #GIVEAWAY
It’s summer time and you know what that means! Pedalheads Summer Bike Camp ensues! We like to take these next couple months to really hone into Little Mama’s biking and safety skills, now that school is on break.

Now that school is out, and our summer bucket lists are in full swing, we have been scratching our heads trying to figure out how we were going to make this summer different for our little ones. When our Springfree Trampoline made its way to our backyard, it was pretty much the answer to our […]
Our Little Rainbow’s First Birthday :: Macaron Smash
Our little Rainbow’s first birthday is today, and we cannot believe it’s been over a year since *this happened…. But before that, this happened… And then THIS happened… It had just been revealed – we’re having a baby boy! My Little Mama has been waiting (im)patiently for her tea party partner to come join her at the enchanted […]
Monochrome Aladdin Inspired Kid’s Bedroom :: A Transformation
A transformation from a gaudy to modern Aladdin inspired kid’s bedroom: With all this talk of Disney’s Aladdin Movie coming out in theatres today, it reminded me of how obsessed my Little Mama has always been with Princess Jasmine. We even had to come up with her very own Aladdin inspired kid’s bedroom. But it […]

Throwing a kid’s rockstar party is no joke. It takes a lot of little details to fine “tune” such an undertaking. Especially when the rockstar is your 8-year-old-rock-lovin’-heavy-metallin’-daughter.

Spring Declutter :: To Purge or Not to Purge
Sorry I’ve been a little behind on my posts lately…. It’s Spring! Declutter season! That means revisiting every room, every closet, every cabinet, every nook, every cranny, and finding what (and what does not) spark joy. Not surprising, spring clean up also inevitably means the blog has been put on the back burner for the […]
11 Perks of Having a Wide Age Gap Between Siblings
It’s National Siblings Day and we are celebrating in coordinating outfits and coordinating smiles … Well… “ish”… The benefits of having a wide age gap between siblings has been something we have been weighing out since the day I found out I was pregnant for the second time – 6 years ago. With every pregnancy […]
DIY Kids Cleopatra and King Tut Halloween Costumes :: Encouraging Kids to Create
“Mommy, we wanna be Cleopatra and King Tut for Halloween”. Sigh. I wasn’t completely convinced that my 7 year old and <gasp> my 4.5 month old understood what this actually entailed. Ever since our local museum featured the beautiful and everso ornate and interactive Egypt: The Time of the Pharoahs display, my Little Mama has been […]
You Do You :: Back to School Kid Crush USA
You do you. I found myself saying these very words on repeat today, as I brought Smallie to school for her first day of Grade 2. I don’t even really like that catch phrase to be honest. So cliche, but what’s a mom to advise her little girl who spent most of the summer saying she was pretty […]
