Its been a little bit since my last post since we have been quite busy around here! Today marks one week since we welcomed our little girl into our world! Meet Briar McAuley, our sweet, chubby-cheeked, boop-able nosed daughter. We are so smitten with her and trust me- all the reduced sleeps, pain of labour …

So I'm 2 days past my due date and I've got time to kill! Our community garden plot has been watered, our kombucha's scoby is now resting in its vessel (it's a fun little activity if you've never tried it!) and my blog is right here, available to be updated. Wow, those just sounded super …
Ooh, the competition! You've probably heard that daycares in Ontario nowadays are 1. Tight on space and 2. Ridiculously costly.

You go, girl! Happy International Women's Day! I thought a perfect topic to cover today is something many may not know about living in downtown Hamilton. Did you know there are businesses that openly support a woman's right to breastfeed in public? Before we get into this, here's a refresher on breastfeeding laws in Ontario: …
Looks like Scott and I finished the City of Hamilton's public health prenatal course. Does this mean we know what to do with a baby? Heck no! As much as they discuss "life with baby" (part 2 is post-birth), I can assure you we will not remember come June. However, they must know this since …
Help! I've never changed a poop-y diaper! This past Saturday my husband Scott and I attended our first prenatal class offered by the City of Hamilton's Public Health unit. Although a number of locations exist, downtown people note: This one is centrally located in Jackson Square in a nice, modern classroom with lots of windows out to King St. The public …
