Family Lifestyle | Shoes are Boring. Wear Sneakers.

Now, I’m pretty sure you’ve noticed by now that I have a thing for kid’s shoes. But I bet you didn’t know that Lyric’s very FIRST pair of shoes, were Converse! Pretty much as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I went online and ordered the smallest pair of Classic Converse Chuck Taylor‘s they make! Let me tell you.. they were ADORABLE! I remember getting them in the mail, opening them up and placing them on my (HUGE) belly in anticipation!

Family Lifestyle | Go Green!

As a parent, I’ve always wanted to monitor the things around Lyric. I remember when he was really little, I was cleaning everything.. always! I’m definitely more lenient now, but I still want to be sure I’m aware of the products being used around the house. I recently discovered Seventh Generation‘s line of cleaning products, and love that their ingredients are all natural! I’m sure you’ve all tried (like I have MANY times) all those Pinterest ideas for natural cleaning solutions. From the baking soda and vinegar down the drain, to lemons for everything! Luckily with Seventh Generation, they’ve taken all the trial and error out of the way, and have created some amazing products!

Family Lifestyle | It’s Tea Time!

When I think of fall, I think of beautiful colours, falling leaves, pumpkins, sweaters and tea! I’ve never been a coffee drinker. I know what you’re thinking, how did I survive the newborn years (yes, I said years haha) without coffee?! Honestly, I don’t have a clue! One of the bonuses that has come from not drinking coffee though is that I don’t have any stained teeth. My friend is a frequent drinker of coffee and unfortunately, she has a couple of stained teeth which she now feels insecure about. Luckily for her, she has recently visited this Dentist in Newmarket and has booked herself in for a teeth whitening service so hopefully, she will get her old smile back soon. And this is one of the many reasons why I don’t drink coffee. But, I drink tea in the same way others drink coffee! I love sitting down to a cup of hot tea to warm up, start my day or after a long day to unwind (chai is my favourite!). When I discovered DAVIDsTEA a few years back it was life changing! For you coffee drinkers there have always been a plethora (my $25 word of the day) of flavours and blends to choose from, but tea has always been sort of basic. DAVIDsTEA is like a heaven for tea lovers, there are sooo many different options and flavours it’s almost impossible to decide!
