WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICROFIBER AND MICROFLEECE? A frequent topic of discussion in many cloth diapering groups is “Why can’t microfiber touch baby’s skin?” This leads to some confusion, because microfleece, another common diapering fiber, is totally safe against baby’s bottom. Both synthetic and 100% polyester, these two fibers serve totally different purposes in clothdiapers.

When my pal The Monarch Mommy told me Tide Free & Gentle Powder for All Machines had arrived in Canada, I was very excited.

HOW TO USE INSTAGRAM WITHOUT A SMART PHONE How to use Instagram without a smart phone: 1- Find someone with a smart phone and the Instagram app to make you an account. This is the trickiest part: you can’t set up an Instagram account from the web; it has to be done within the mobile app. Anyone with the app can set up an account for you. WHY WON'T MY TODDLER LOOK ME IN THE EYE? Pet owners will also tell you the same thing – direct eye contact with animals is a sign of aggression, and makes them immediately uncomfortable. It would stand to reason that for a toddler, using a more primitive part of their brain, looking you in the eyes as you give directions in a firm voice would be interpreted in a similar way.MAMAN LOUP'S DEN

WHY WON'T MY TODDLER LOOK ME IN THE EYE? Pet owners will also tell you the same thing – direct eye contact with animals is a sign of aggression, and makes them immediately uncomfortable.

Babies are born perfect in our eyes, but not with perfect vision! Their eyesight is not 20/20 at birth; in fact, it’s pretty blurry and they can probably only distinguish large shapes. It’s important to get babies’ eyes examined as soon as possible, ideally around 6–9months.

The Graco 4Ever is an “all-in-one” car seat marketed as perhaps the only seat you’ll ever need to buy for your child. Is that too good to be true? How does it stack up in terms of fit tochild, fit to …
TAKE A PEEK AT PEAKBWA: KIDS’ CLOTHING THAT LASTS As Canadian treasure Joni Mitchell would say, “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” Except in my case, it goes something like “you don’t know all the cool people living near you and you don’t realize the impact of affordable daycare till you move away.” But those lyrics wouldn’t fit in a Big Yellow Taxi.

6 ACTIVITIES FOR MINECRAFT LOVERS It’s hard to remember a time in my parenting life without Minecraft. It would’ve been around age 5 that my son requested we download it for him on the iPad because he’d seen older kids at his daycare playing it. Admittedly, I knew very little about the game, but moms with older kids had raved about it being educational and fueling their…
HOW WRITING A YA NOVEL HELPED ME COME OUT AT 39 Guest post by Dani Jansen Is it weird that I’m sometimes jealous of the main character in my own book? Don’t get me wrong!

7 EDUCATIONAL & FUN PODCASTS FOR KIDS When I rustled up an “old school” iPod touch for my son last summer, I started finding him podcasts to listen to and for us to listen to in the van together.
