Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basBefore my baby boy was born I got a lot of advice. I still continue to receive a lot of (unsolicited) advice. But no one told me the following super important details I am about to share with you. You're Welcome, in advance.
1. Don't buy a nursing bra with underwire. Unless you like blocked milk ducts.
The busty woman at the bra store turned me away from a really...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWe're a multinational family: the Mister's from Europe, I'm Canadian, and one of our kids was born in the United States where we now live. So in addition to having more citizenships and passports than you can shake a stick at, we also have a transnational mentality of entitlement and diplomatic negotiation.
As in, "if you say no to us, we'll just ask that other country and...

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 basIf you're a parent, you know that things don't always go exactly according to Plan.
(Heck, if you're a parent, you probably tossed the Plan years ago. I mean, let's just get real for a sec.)
Somehow we went from a strict "No Pet Household" policy to an "Okay, absolutely no more than 20 pets at once - and I really mean it this time" policy.
In truth, I'm not actually 100% on...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith the exception of the whole 9 month pregnancy thing, most women don't get to gently dip a toe into the waters of motherhood.
But most women aren't me-- the kind of woman who kind of sort of forgets her commitment to watching her darling niece and nephew for two nights while their parents go on a nice, grown-ups only vacation.
Which is how I found myself in the unlikely role of working,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'm listening to a little Guns 'n Roses as I write this post, so if I'm feeling a little feisty, you'll have to forgive. Coming off of a preteen all-nighter birthday party last weekend, Welcome to the Jungle seemed the appropriate choice for this week's playlist.
Yes, I may have just pegged myself as 30-plus but it's also a metaphor for the ride that is Parenthood -...

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 basThe Plan: a family meet-up in Chicago, starting with a fun and educational road trip through the wilds of America.
The Result: We did meet family in Chicago, and we did drive there (though there are several rest stops on the I-65 to which we probably should never return).
I had this plan to combine a family vacation with some style spying in the Windy City. Chicago's midwestern locale...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIf you’re diligent with you own sunscreen application, chances are you’re even more so with your kids. It’s a well known fact that the more sunburns you have as a child, the higher your chances are of developing skin cancer. No need to turn that into an excuse to stay in and play Xbox, sunscreen companies have sunscreens just for your kids, with tear-free, waterproof, and gentle moisturizing...
