Unleash Curiosity and Connection with Lovevery Subscription Boxes

As parents, we strive to provide our children with the best opportunities for learning and development. That’s why I’m excited to share my experience with Lovevery subscription boxes. I have nothing but positive things to say about their playkits. For the past few years, these thoughtfully curated boxes have become a staple in our household, consistently keeping my boys content, engaged, and fostering a sense of connection between them. Lovevery is a stage-based play for your child’s developing brain, hence why there are many age appropriate toys sorted into two to three months age groups based on your child’s age.

We recently received The Problem Solver playkit which is designed for 43-45-month-old children. It captured my boys’ attention, even though they are 5 and 2 years old. So it’s a testament to the versatility and engaging nature of their playkits.

With two so very active and high energy boys, durability is a top priority for any toy in our household. And b’ys I gotta say, holy smokes but Lovevery has surpassed my expectations in this aspect. Their toys are built to withstand the rough play of young children, making them virtually indestructible. It’s a relief to know that these kits can withstand the test of time and can be passed down to younger relatives or friends, still looking brand new.

I wholeheartedly recommend exploring Lovevery playkits and browsing around on their site. Lovevery, thank you for creating exceptional playkits and for being a shining star in my books!

Simplify Parenthood with GillyGro: The Ultimate Backpack for Parents

Leaving the house with a baby or toddler (or both in my case!) can often feel like a daunting task. Juggling diapers and bottles to keeping everything organized, parents need a reliable companion that simplifies their lives. My friend has created GillyGro, a brand founded by a team of three moms who intimately understand the challenges parents face.

With their innovative, functional backpack, GillyGro aims to revolutionize the way parents navigate the early years of parenthood.

GillyGro knows that convenience is key for parents, and their backpack is designed with just that in mind. It offers an abundance of storage pockets and compartments, allowing parents to keep everything neatly organized.

  2. Diaper Changing Station: Changing diapers on the go is always a bit challenging but my pals at GillyGro have figured it out and has this part on the back of the backpack where it unzips, and unfolds into a spacious and hygienic diaper changing station. Equipped with pockets for diapers, wipes, and other essentials, this backpack ensures quick and hassle-free diaper changes while keeping everything organized.

Home will always be home

Longest time I’ve/we’ve been away: 3.5 years. Even listening to Newfoundland music with my boys while in California brings a mix of emotions. Doesn’t make me stop turning it on though….the boys love it ????.

The anticipation and excitement of going back home, even if it’s for a limited time, can be a special feeling. It allows you to cherish and appreciate the time spent with loved ones and immerse yourself in the familiar surroundings and experiences.

The feeling of being torn between two places is not uncommon when living away from home. Some days I ache to move home to be close to friends I’ve known for nearly a lifetime. Old neighbours who are like family. Family, grandparents. And of course help with the boys. We have none of that here and it tends to get lonely if I think about it too much. Other times I’m so very content here in beautiful California. Home will always be home, won’t it.

I can’t wait to go back.
