I received this item at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. Summer is in full swing around here! This means lots of extra time outside soaking up the sunshine!

Since then, we’ve put easily another 400km on those boots. We took well… Read more »

He still tags along on all of our adventures, but our attention is elsewhere. Don’t feel too sorry for him though, because even if we don’t spoil him rotten the way we used… Read more »
I received this item at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. When we first decided to start a family, I didn’t realize just how difficult it would be for me to find clothing that supported our, apparently “unique” lifestyle choices.

I received these items at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. We are big proponents of the one-piece rain suit.

We even paired one with an insulation… Read more »

For me, carrying 3kg of water… Read more »

I received this item at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. Have you heard of Baby Sign Language before and thought “That’s not for me”? The first time that I heard of it, I had that same thought. I thought “Shouldn’t I focus on speaking? No one in my family uses sign language.” However, the second… Read more »
