The M Coat- friend or foe?
I bought the M Coat when I was pregnant with my little man. It saved my life that winter as it was freezing and I was HUGE by the end. No regular coat, even in a big size would have fit over my enormous belly. The great thing about this coat is that it is … Continue reading

Back in the early fall, in my post titled “Autumn is here- now what part one”) I mentioned a brief and unsatisfying visit to a Smock, a kid friendly restaurant on Roncesvalles Ave in Toronto. I said that I would go back again to give it another go and I did a week ago. We … Continue reading
Road Trip with a toddler- were we crazy?
We recently returned from a twelve day car trip through New York state en route to Montauk, Long Island…. with Buds…. in a car… for a long time. Are we crazy, you may ask? Maybe, but we planned for insanity and it worked, for the most part. Here are our tips for traveling with a … Continue reading
