So, I may not be a “new” mom, but I’m definitely a mom who is new to having a 4-year-old-spring-time-kindergartener! I had NO idea he could get this dirty! No, but really! When Lyric was younger, I (like most new moms) bathed my lil baby every day. He was just so perfect and new and I didn’t want to mess him up! As he got older, he developed very dry skin, and would scratch himself while he slept until he would cut himself. Now, I’ve learned that bathing your child (or yourself for that matter) every day isn’t the greatest for your skin. So I backed off, started bathing him every other day, or every 3 days. When he started school I noticed he would definitely be a little sweatier than normal, but now that the weather is nice, he comes home just DIRTY! Those recesses spent in the sand, rolling in the grass, practicing his “dance moves” or just running around has him needing to get clean more often.

I know both, Daniel and Julio have been styled by Le Chateau for a few events in the past, which meant it’s Fashionights approved, and I knew there’d be a great selection.

Events | Zipcar Officially Launches in Ottawa
Living in the city is great. Driving in the city… not so much. And the cost of owning a car in the city? Ummm I think I’ll pass. But sometimes I just need one. How do I get to those awesome organic farms outside of the ol’ big smoke? I can’t really ride my bike there (unless I had like 3 days to spare and a rock hard butt). So what if I feel like grabbing a car while on vacation abroad but don’t want to spend and arm and a leg to get one?
