Parenting in a Pandemic: Give yourself a break

How to parent in a pandemic

If you weren't aware, we're in the middle of a pandemic.  Full sarcasm alert there because there's no possible way on earth you couldn't be aware of it. Every news station is on a 24hr Covid-19 run, your social media feeds are full of kidless people exclaiming how bored they are to be stuck at home telling you how many new hobbies you should be picking up, and it's likely your parent friends are documenting and sharing their #momgoals lives on a minute-by-minute basis. Parenting in a Pandemic Not only are you just trying to survive this, but you're also tr[...]

HOW TO MAKE BANANA BREAD OAT PANCAKES

Banana Bread Oat Pancakes Recipe Healthy, Delicious, Toddler-Approved. Next to pizza (mmm, glorious pizza), pancakes are my favourite food. I scour cities and coveted brunch spots to find the best ones. I have a local spot where I legitimately went every Friday when I was pregnant as my “me time” to crush a stack of griddle cakes in a Wi-Fi free space. (I take the twins there now, it’s way more fun, but far less quiet, lol.)  For some, pancakes may seem like a special occasion food. Something that requires lots of prep and planning, and time. I’ll be[...]

5 Easy Ways to Involve Helpful Toddlers in the Kitchen

Do you have a “helpful” toddler? In case you missed it: I’ve got two. They love to be of assistance, even if what they think they are helping with is actually not helpful at all, lol. So instead of refusing the help, or politely thanking them and shooing them away, I thought, “Why not put their helpfulness to good use?” Thus began the H2 Cooking School (that’s H squared, btw). Toddlers in the kitchen are not for the faint of heart or for the OCD clean moms. It is messy. Very very messy. It’s also really fun, once you allow yourself to let go of[...]

Avoid Data Overages with TELUS’ New Family Plans

Disclosure: I have partnered with YMC and TELUS and have received compensation for this post. All opinions are my own. I have a photo problem. The problem being that I love taking them and sharing them, usually in their full-size hi-res glory, with my family and friends. When you're first time parents, I honestly believe that you can never take or share too many baby photos or videos.  Whether it be in your group chat, texts to your partner, or uploading to the family photo album, the limit does not exist. That is until you realize that you’re blowing[...]

Local Love: Barhop Sessions (a #MonerisMatch)

    Tuesday's are sacred for me. They're my day. It's the one consistent day that I have childcare help (until we a find part-time daycare or nanny) and they have become a highlight in my week in that I can leave the condo for almost the whole day and work, or meet a friend, or even treat myself to a solo lunch or even, gasp, a mid-day beer if I so choose. Even though I might have a block of 4-5 hours of me-time on a Tuesday, I always choose to stay local, usually somewhere within walking distance or a short streetcar ride, so that I can hom[...]
