What you need in your hospital bag?

By
Packing your hospital bag. Some women have this done before they are six months pregnant and others put it off until the very last second. Whatever your style, here are a few essentials, according to me. What to bring with you to the labour and delivery unit - health care card and government identification (this is the first thing you will be asked for upon arrival) - your prenatal papers (you will be given these at your 36/37 week appointment) - lip balm - a hair elastic (or a couple) - snacks for your partner/support person (make sure there is protein: trail mix and granola bars are great, as well as apples) - coconut water (a great way to stay hydrated with electrolytes through your labour) - music (either through your phone or separate device) - a change of clothes for yourself - a change of clothes for your partner/support person (I also recommend flip flops) - phone charger - camera - list of people to call immediately after baby comes and a lis...

2017 ... Are you ready?!

By
Hello! Yes, things have been a little quiet on the blog, but can you blame me?! Baby snuggles, toddler adventures, and all that comes with the Christmas season. Being a mom of two has been a great journey so far. The image that immediately pops into my head when someone asks how the adjustment from "one to two" is going is the night that Keith was away for work when Mikah was four weeks old. Brooke was having her bedtime snack while Mikah nursed. After Brooke finished her piece of toast, she asked for another. Mikah was mid-feed, but okay..let's do this! Toast made and butter one-handed while not sacrificing the latch. Brooke finishes that piece. "One more please." Are you joking? She's joking right? Nope, a third piece of toast made and buttered with my left hand (I am right handed) all while Mikah continues her feed. I am definitely learning what I am capable of balancing :) Alright, now to 2017! Are you ready?! Jamie and I are PUMPED for resumin...

Kellie's Favourite "Treats"

By
As a new mom, having healthy snacks readily available is critical to staying on track with my nutrition. Stocking the fridge with washed and prepped fruits and vegetables are a fantastic way to sneak in a few extra nutrients throughout the day. It is nearly impossible to open your fridge and not grab a freshly washed and picked (off the vine) grape from the container on the middle shelf. Try it. I dare you!   All five recipes! In our home, we also try to have a container of healthy “treats” in the freezer for when we are on the go, to pack in lunches, or when we need a quick and nutritious snack right now! You know what I am talking about. I will often take some time on Sunday (30-60 minutes, depending on how many I am making) to whip up one or two of the recipes below. These are perfect because after they are cut or rolled, they are the perfect bite sized snacks that offer energy and protein! Bonus, they are hubby and toddler approved! Some of my ingredien...
