eating for two
Filed Under Tips & Tricks | February 19, 2009
Ask any mother what her favourite food was during pregnancy and you’ll get a list as diverse as rice, grapefruit and french fries. Our hunger and cravings are a dramatic outward manifestations of the changes happening within. Baby is making his or her presence known, and along with the hunger comes the responsibility of making healthy choices for two.

When you’re pregnant for the first time you may not realize that lovely as the flowers and fripperies that arrive soon after your babe does are, what you’re really, really going to want is food. Because even if you’re hyper organized and you’ve padded your pantry and filled your freezer pre-baby – which we’d highly recommend by the way – nothing beats fresh meals delivered by friends and family.

one stop shop
Filed Under Stuff | February 6, 2009
It hasn’t been that long since our babies were, well, babies, but in that scant time it seems that diaper bags, strollers, toys, high chairs, clothes and baby gear in general just keeps getting cooler and cooler. And mum-of-three Leanne Kripp has brought all that cool stuff together at jack & lola, North Van’s first one-stop baby shop that just opened off of Lonsdale on 1st Avenue.
it’s a two-fer
Filed Under Multi-Tasking | February 5, 2009
We know you’re good at multi-tasking so we’re always on the hunt for products that are as multi-faceted as you are, which is why we want to spread the word about Lee Valley’s World’s Greatest Nail Brushes. We bought them for their intended purpose and they really are great – especially with all the hand washing mums do – but one day in a pinch we used one to wash vegetables and we were converts!

Other baby wearing benefits include a decrease in separation anxiety, more efficient daytime naps, a better latch for nursing and a possible minimizing of colic.
