The Right Age to Start a Family

October 21, 2013 by Alanna 7 Comments

How old were you when you had your first baby? I was 30. Back in the day that would have been considered old, but in todays standards it's really young. When I was off on mat leave with L'il E I met a great group of women who became my mummy friends. We talked about our first-time babies and … [Read more...]

Interview with Lindsey Deluce from CP24

October 17, 2013 by Alanna 4 Comments

A couple weeks ago I sat down with Lindsey Deluce, News Anchor from CP24 Breakfast Show, and talked to her about being a mom, her return to work and finding balance. Lindsey lives in Toronto with her husband and her 15-month-old daughter Brooklyn. Here's how she manages to juggle it all being a very … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving Apple Crisp

October 13, 2013 by Alanna 3 Comments

Friday was such a beautiful day that we decided to take a trip to Chudleigh's for some apple picking fun. Apparently everyone else had the same idea - it was absolutely packed! The line-ups were so long that we decided to forgo the apple picking and just hang out with all the animals and have fun in … [Read more...]

Feeling Blue and Exhausted

October 10, 2013 by Alanna 1 Comment

LJ is digging our mild October weather and I must say thank God for this weather because if it were grey and dreary I think I would be ready to just crawl under the covers. No matter what anyone out there tells you being a new mom the second time around is just as difficult and exhausting as it was … [Read more...]

Snuggle Up With The SleepBelt

October 9, 2013 by Alanna 2 Comments

When L'il E was a newborn he was not a snuggler. He was happy to just lay around independently and sleep. He was always the envy of my other mom friends. He would just go to sleep anywhere. LJ on the other hand is a huge snuggler and I'm happy about it because I'm getting my cuddle fix, but man … [Read more...]

Sleep Deprived

October 1, 2013 by Alanna 2 Comments

This is what our bed looks like most mornings. The Hubs and I hanging on for dear life to our respective sides and L'il E and LJ sprawled out in the middle. We have always been in the "kids sleep in their own beds" camp - L'il E was in his own crib and bedroom as soon as we got home from the … [Read more...]

Something to Give Up

September 30, 2013 by Alanna Leave a Comment

Sometimes you just need a chill weekend and I think this is the first weekend since LJ was born that we actually did just that - chilled. It was a productive weekend, but it felt really relaxing and I loved the time our little fam spent together. Tonight I came across a blog post on The Baby … [Read more...]

IKEA Really is Family Friendly

September 28, 2013 by Alanna 1 Comment

Lately I've been spending a lot of time at IKEA picking up and returning stuff for our second floor renovation. Rather than wasting time on the weekend, I've been going during the week with LJ in tow. You may remember I went a few weeks ago and had a bit of a break down in the nursing room. I left … [Read more...]

Toddler Diet

September 26, 2013 by Alanna 1 Comment

Getting my kid to eat is probably one of the most frustrating aspects of parenting for me. It's not really getting him to eat. It's getting him to eat what I want him to eat. I offer plenty of nutritious snacks but L'il E is only happy if the snack is a cookie, Goldfish or Gummy Bears (thanks Gran!) … [Read more...]

Abundance Naturally Bath Time

September 24, 2013 by Alanna 1 Comment

There is nothing better than nuzzling up to a freshly washed baby - right? Now that LJ is almost three months he is really starting to express his love for bath time and it's one of my favourite activities to do together. I just love seeing him grin and listening to his squeals and L'il E thinks … [Read more...]
