The Whole Truth

No one ever talks about it like this.
It’s not that they don’t want to, and they might even start to, it’s just that they don’t really have time to get into it, between the diaper changes, the soccer practices and all the other interruptions that come along with the business of motherhood.

The brilliantly titled and hot-off-the press (just yesterday) Between Interruptions: 30 Women Tell the Truth About Motherhood (Key Porter Books, $32.95) is the first anthology of Canadian writing about motherhood and it dares to start the conversation about the huge transformation women experience when they become mothers

Equipment Renaissance

There’s definitely been the dawning of a new age when it comes to baby and toddler gear. Innovative designers have introduced better versions of the old primary-coloured plastic equipment parents need, and for that we’re ever thankful. With all this new gear, we’re thinking you might even want to change it up when Baby #2 or #3 comes along.
The Better High Chair
The gang at Boon have done it again with the Flair Chair, a revolutionary new highchair with some great new features. It’s got all the important safety features such as a five-point harness and a restraining post, but what we really love is the stylish pedestal stand and the effortless height adjustment (think barber chair—the pneumatic life mechanism makes it easy to adjust to any height, including under the table). The best part? The seamless seat—no cracks or crevices—makes clean-up easy. Because crevices are definitely menaces when it comes to drips, drops, and crumbs. Available from L’il Niblets and Baby Sprouts and Modern Baby Barn and other retailers across Canada ($319)
