“Thanks Mom. I love you.”
The words we yearn for before baby learns to speak – only to be met with ‘Dada’, ‘No’ or ‘I want’ when the time comes.
Not a ‘Please’ to be heard.
Not the Fashion
There’s a growing and alarming trend out there (and no, we’re not talking about the skinny stovepipe jean).
According to the Allergy Asthma Information Association, 2 – 4 % of Canadian children are affected by food allergies, with the same number being at risk for anaphylaxis due to allergies, and it’s an increasing public health issue.

Drowning is the second most common cause of injury-related death for kids in Canada and of course peaks in the summer. A little good news though?

The road trip – it’s all about the getting. Getting going, getting sleepy, getting hungry, getting ice cream, getting there. We’ve discovered a suite of products this spring that we think will get you there and back cleaner, happier and more comfy. We know you’ll get that.
Gettin’ Buggy
Bugs. To love or to hate? That is the question.
