Eco-Friendly Canadian Companies Part II

Happy Summer, friends! It’s my favourite time of the year. With Canada Day celebrations just behind us, it’s gotten me thinking about some of my favourite eco-friendly Canadian companies. We really do try to support Canadian and local as much as possible. It’s important to me, and I know it’s important to many of you as… [Read More]

Why Everyone Should Have Regular Family Game Nights

I still remember family game nights at my grandparents. We had a homemade wooden board/marble game that my Grandpa’s friend had made him, called Wahoo. It was and probably still is, my favourite game ever. We used to gather the fam together, get into teams if we had more than four players, and spend the… [Read More]

Eco-Friendly Wedding Anniversary Gifts

Eco-Friendly Wedding Anniversary Gifts

Our sixth wedding anniversary is coming up. We don’t normally do anything super special – it’s kind of hard with two little kids and limited babysitting options – but we do like to try to least have a couple of hours of alone time sans kiddos at some point around our anniversary date. We also… [Read More]

Eco-Friendly Car Seats and Why They Matter

April 18, 2016 By Megan 4 Comments

Eco-Friendly Car Seats and Why They Matter

Chemicals and toxins are everywhere. In our clothes. In our food. In our bedding. In cribs. And even in our children’s car seats. According to Healthy Stuff, “children are especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of toxic chemicals because their bodies are developing, and because pound for pound, they eat, drink, and breathe about two… [Read More]

Using the EWG to Find Natural Skincare and Beauty Products

Do you ever read the ingredients on your skincare products? Like actually REALLY read them? Go now and do it. It can be scary to see the amount of un-pronouncable ingredients and I’m often wondering “what the heck is this?” when I read the back of product labels. It can also be tricky to distinguish… [Read More]

Simple Eco Skincare Routine for Morning and Night

Simple Eco Skincare Routine for Morning and Night

When it comes to beauty products, I prefer to keep things minimal over here. Our bathroom cabinet and drawers aren’t over-flowing with items that are barely used and I have very little time to spend in the bathroom now with 2 little ones. I don’t even own a bottle of hairspray or hair gel. For… [Read More]

The Best Lego Storage and Travel Solution (+ a Swoop bag Giveaway)

If your children are anything like K, they LOVE Lego. Who wouldn’t? I know more than a few grown adults who also spend their free time building Lego creations. For real. It’s a great, open-ended and creative toy. My only gripe about it is when the tiny Lego pieces end up everywhere. And I mean everywhere…. [Read More]

Making Time for Mom

Making Time for Mom

Alone time. What’s that? If you’re a mom, you’re quite possible in the same boat as me. Some days, okay, most days, I feel like my needs come last in the whole scheme of things. From the second our eyes open in the morning, it’s all about the kids. Getting everyone changed and fed, answering 800… [Read More]
