Get Your Boots On with Skechers
With late Fall upon us and winter just around the corner, boots are the name of the game in the footwear department at our house. Of course I couldn’t be so lucky as to have Petit Prince fit into The Heir’s barely worn boots from three years ago (yes, I kept everything). Petit Prince’s feet grow like weeds! He’s in and out of sizes in just a few short months, and I never seem to predict his correct size for upcoming seasons! Thank goodness Skechers has such a great selection of boots for this time of year. Petit Prince is all about his dad these days, so he was thrilled when his boots arrived with a coordinating pair for dad! Check out these great boots for the boys from Skechers!

Beautiful Family Photos with Canvas Factory
Do you get family photos done every year? We do! Every year it’s the same thing. I painstakingly choose just the right outfits after pinning a gazillion photos of children’s fashions, I make sure everyone’s faces are clean and their hair is combed, and I attempt to make myself look just a little less tired than I feel. Then I pack everyone into the car hoping the car seat harness doesn’t completely wrinkle the kids’ outfits, head out to a random park, and hope there are half decent fall colours for a backdrop. Then there’s the actual taking of the photos. Encouraging smiles without breaking my own, convincing the kids to cozy up to one another with the promise of a hot chocolate on the way home, and hoping the photographer is able to capture some adorable-ness despite the toddler’s tears. You know what’s easy about family photos? Ordering the canvas! Canvas Factory makes getting those family photos printed a completely painless process. And that’s a pretty big deal after all the stress of the photo shoot itself.

Omaïki Oriön Nighttime Fitted Diaper Review
Have you ever opened a package of fluff mail and been overwhelmed with the softness of a cloth diaper? I have. When Omaïki sent me their Oriön Nighttime Fitted to try with Petit Prince, the very first thing I wanted to do was rub that lusciously soft bamboo sherpa all over my face. And I did. It was glorious. Fitted diapers are a style of cloth diaper that I think every family should try, but I can also understand that they seem a little intimidating at first. What is a fitted diaper? This style of diaper is absorbent material inside and out. It’s not waterproof on its own, so it does require a cover of some kind (PUL or wool). Once you have a fitted in your stash, you just end up reaching for it more and more often. At the moment, fitted diapers are my absolute favourite style of diaper for overnight use with Petit Prince. In fact, with the amount he’s been wetting overnight, they’ve become a necessity in my stash. I was really keen to give Omaïki’s Oriön Nighttime Fitted a try because (as you surely know by now) I love Canadian made diapers! Here’s what you need to know.

Lighthouse Diapers All In One Review
It took me a while in my cloth diapering career (it’s a career, right?) to warm up to all-in-one (AIO) diapers, but now that I have, I really can’t get enough of them. There’s something so incredibly convenient about not having to stuff a pocket diaper and not having to dig through a pile of 60+ diapers to find the right insert. Now this is a large stash problem for sure, but AIOs are just so handy for all cloth diapering families! If you’re not yet on board with AIOs, maybe the Lighthouse Diapers AIO will convince you. If you haven’t heard about Lighthouse Diapers (made by Lighthouse Kids Company) I won’t be surprised. You see, even I hadn’t heard of them before a handful of months ago. When Jennifer of Lollypop Kids told me she was bringing these unique AIO diapers into her shop, I just had to try one out! Here’s what I think of the Lighthouse Diapers AIO.
