While on the hunt for a cute lunch pack for my little guy, we came across Skip Hop's Zoo Lunchies - a cute collection of insulated lunch bags in various different styles. Designed for babies, kids and moms on-the-go, these quirky bags feature a generous main compartment to hold sandwiches, snacks, juices and more. There is also an extra side pocket to hold an ice pack or utensils. The wipe-clean, insulated interior ensures that food and drinks are kept cold and yummy for when kids are ready to eat!
The thing that we love about these Lunchies is that they co-ordinate with Skip Hop's Zoo Packs - equally adorable backpacks to match your little one's lunch totes! Both items are priced affordably between $15 - $25 CAD so that you will have more money left over to create fantastic lunches!!

While I was pregnant, I was on the search of the perfect diaper bag within a certain budget - nothing over $100. After religiously searching websites for the trendiest designer diaper bags, many priced way past my price range, I suddenly had a bright idea. Those lululemon gym bags that every other girl was toting to their yoga classes could, in fact, become THE diaper bag. They're sturdy, have a gazillion pockets (for toys, extra clothes, food, extra clothes, mommy stuff, and -did I mention - extra clothes?!), a water bottle (baby bottle) pocket, come with a "dirty gym clothes" bag (soiled baby clothes) and the list could go on. Plus, most of them can also hold heavy loads - up to 50 lbs!! So what better diaper bag to get then one of the ones from the greatest yoga store ever?!
And did I mention - most of the bags are priced UNDER $100?!!!
My son is now almost 10 months old and I am so happy with my lululemon "diaper" bag. In fact, this is something that the company should maybe dip into....

Wow, how time flies! Of course I've been meaning to blog consistently since Jadon was born, and now I wish I had so that I'd have a "diary" of his milestones in the past 9 months of his life, but it seemed like there was always something to do. Jadon is now crawling and getting into EVERYTHING!! He's almost 10 months old now and his new favourite thing to do is pull himself to a standing position on practically everything he can get his hands on. My little genius has also figured out how to work the sliding door separating the dining room from the kitchen. So much for that...!!!
Can't wait for the beautiful weather coming up this summer. We are having quite a gorgeous April so far....warm, spring weather minus the rain we are all so used to in Van-City! And although I am looking forward to hot summer days (and nights!), I am not looking forward to going back to work in 2 1/2 months. Going to be a very sad experience leaving Jadon for 5 days a week :(
MAMAS: Let me know what you've been up to lately and how your little ones are doing. Jadon is wanting me to play with him now but I promise I will write sooner than later!!
