Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basGetting back into pre-baby shape is a lot harder than plain old getting fit. For one, if you're breast-feeding you are probably raging hungry and two; you have a little one who demands the majority of your time. Sleep deprivation is a whole other topic.
I've discovered the best way to work out is if my baby can be part of it. If you saw my recent feature in the Globe and Mail,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI always find it difficult to pin down my 5 most favourite products for any season since I tend to hoard and try everything, but there are certain essentials I can't live without when it's this hot outside:
Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15
I'm going to admit that I'm terrible with applying sunscreen to my face. The reason is that many sunscreens cause me...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThey say that when you're close to delivering you get this unexpected surge of energy. If that means an uncontrollable urge to clean the windows, polish the floors and bake some cookies, I'm so there.I've spent the last couple of weeks washing all of my teeny tiny baby clothes, buying diapers, dusting the house from top to bottom and arranging the nursery.
Here it is. Do you like...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'm on the Brink of Baby and I have to admit that the whole experience has been better than I thought it would be. I feel more myself than I thought I would, people are nicer to me than I could have expected, and it's been thrilling to experience baby growing inside me. I can't sugar coat month nine though. Month nine is a beast for several reasons, many of which, unfortunately involve...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFinding the right stroller is one of the first things you'll want to cross off your list when preparing for baby. Not only can it be really expensive, you're going to spend a lot of time hauling it around, loading it into your car or struggling with stairs when no wheelchair ramp is provided. It's really important to find one that meets not only your budget but your lifestyle.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis list is without exception. If you don't listen to me and do it, you will feel badly about yourself, and pregnant ladies aren't supposed to feel badly about themselves. We're supposed to glow. I'll cut to the chase...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basEveryone says that when you're pregnant you look beautiful and no one is judging your weight gain. I always thought so before, until it was me. But now that it is and I will be my largest in the summer, I'm feeling more bloaty and blobby than beautiful. The thought of wearing a swimsuit in public at this stage fills me with horror.
Thankfully, after doing a little research I've...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSo far in my pregnancy diaries, I've shared a lot of the frustrating or funny things that happen with pregnancy—like excessive gas or selfish people on the subway. But don't be alarmed there is good stuff, too! No, this isn't the "best I've ever felt" and I don't see myself as "glowing" but there are few things cooler than feeling your baby kick for the first time. The...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAfter searching for two years, losing several bidding wars and eventually giving up and swearing off MLS, Alex and I bought our first house. For the record it was him who caved and did the fateful last search that led to us purchasing our three bedroom two bathroom abode.
The listing started with, "Stunning newly renovated…" and the list price wasn't too shabby. So, on a Friday after work we...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'm starting to get cranky riding the streetcar and subway in Toronto. It's not because we're all packed like sardines or because the person standing next to me this morning let one go that stank up the whole front section. It's that everyone is so completely oblivious. Oblivious to the old lady struggling to stand and carry her grocery bags or the eight-months pregnant woman...
