I wash my hair, THEN you can have milk!

N8VYFNZ6N3U2 I was reminded yesterday that I needed to take care of myself in order to better take care of my babies.

Baby bath products we use — Produits de bain pour bébé

Ahhh, here it is, THE post about the topic most people give me shit for! BATH PRODUCTS. Yes, I’m a bath product junky. But not any bath products. I’m obsessed with natural products. I used to make most of our soaps, deodorants, creams, and even hubby’s shaving lotion. That was during my “I’m-in-my-20’s-so-shut-up-and-let-me-enjoy-my-useless-self-while-I-can” phase! Now [...]

My kid says:… — Mon fils dit:…

Here’s what my favorite things my son says so far: Voila les choses que mon fils dit que je prefere: 1. Leaving for daycare:—S’en allant à la garderie: “Bye mon amour” 2. “Maman, t’es punie!”—“Mom, you’re punished!” 3. “If you continue, stop right away!”—“Si ça continue, arrête tout d’suite!” 4. “Je t’aime Maman et Chiara”—“I love you Mommie and Chiara” 5.

Week-end in the country (or how to end up with a newborn in the hospital for 3 days).

Chouquette (a Chouquette is a sugary pastry, I like to call my daughter that, she tastes yummy like one of those) had been sick for 3 days. Friday was the 4th day, and though she was getting better on thursday, the fever had set in and her breathing was getting a strange robot tone to it… Mike [...]
