She has a talent for writing a book that hits home with Moms! I felt so refreshed after reading this book. I walked away feeling good about myself, as a woman and as a mother. I also learned many great new parenting techniques and visions for the future.<br /><br />Breaking the Good Mom Myth is a book all about letting go. It's about letting go of our expectations of ourselves as mothers as well as societal expectations and embracing who we are as a parent and moving forward.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.alyson.ca/">Alyson Schafer</a> is a great motivator. She encourages Moms to take care of themselves and to have confidence. She encourages Moms to worry less about what other people think and to focus more on their long term parenting goals.<br /><br />This book was very motivating to me as a mother. I felt encouraged like I never have before. After reading this book, I can walk away with a new confidence about my parenting skills and choices. <a href="http://www.alyson.ca/">Schafer</a> reminded me that we are all individuals and we all have our differences. Becoming a Mom does not change that.<br /><br />The 8 myths that Schafer discusses in the book are the following:<br />Self Care is Selfish<br />My Children Are a Reflection of Me<br />My Marriage Can Wait<br />Good Mothers are All-Caring and All-Protecting<br />Good Mothers are in Control<br />Good Mothers Manage Sibling Conflict<br />Only the Best Education for My Child<br />Good Mothers Make Life Fun and Entertaining<br /><br />In the book, <a href="http://www.alyson.ca/">Schafer</a> offers many helpful and practical suggestions for dealing with your marriage after children as well as for many common parenting challenges.<br /><br />I highly recommend this book to new and "old" Moms!<br /><br />For more book reviews, please go to <a href="http://www.yorkregionbaby.com/FeatureArticles-AmandasBookNookArchives.html">Amanda's Book Nook</a> on our <a href="http://www.yorkregionbaby.com/index.html">York Region Baby</a> website!York Region Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481689823755700381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823874673241374480.post-20496025246315979482008-01-18T12:51:00.000-08:002008-01-18T13:06:15.932-08:00Smart Choices<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpj1i8fAQjTQNrYIRn07C4oHxZTjBCIjU0jn-MIn8lzuFPFXl-yxWLM7d5pt-WZPZSGhgvOhKBmVhsO27A_xrx2kwqQ2xXYU1KDCWKkeqMg2SjhNsBBMcYoamSfCPfogq0LycsQkU1zn7D/s1600-h/mfd-kit1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpj1i8fAQjTQNrYIRn07C4oHxZTjBCIjU0jn-MIn8lzuFPFXl-yxWLM7d5pt-WZPZSGhgvOhKBmVhsO27A_xrx2kwqQ2xXYU1KDCWKkeqMg2SjhNsBBMcYoamSfCPfogq0LycsQkU1zn7D/s320/mfd-kit1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156925765743895906" border="0" /></a>I was lucky enough to receive a <a href="http://smartchoiceswomen.com/productView.aspx">Mom's First Day Kit</a> from <a href="http://smartchoiceswomen.com/default.aspx">Smart Choices.</a> The <a href="http://smartchoiceswomen.com/productView.aspx">Mom's First Day Kit</a> is <span id="productLongDesc" class="ProductLongDesc">packed with everything you need that provides comfort during those first days after childbirth and when nursing, and it's all contained in a handy canvas tote!<br /><br />Included in the kit are<br /></span><ul><li><span id="_ctl0_RegionMainContent_productLongDesc" class="ProductLongDesc">Hipster style Single-Use panty</span></li><li><span id="_ctl0_RegionMainContent_productLongDesc" class="ProductLongDesc"> femé Pa</span><span id="_ctl0_RegionMainContent_productLongDesc" class="ProductLongDesc">d® (which provides cooling relief from vaginal irritations or inflamed hemorrhoids that may be caused by pregnancy or childbirth)</span></li><li><span id="_ctl0_RegionMainContent_productLongDesc" class="ProductLongDesc">Single-Use Nursing Pads </span></li><li><span id="_ctl0_RegionMainContent_productLongDesc" class="ProductLongDesc"> SmartChoices breast soother (which provides warming therapy for blocked milk ducts, mastitis, or weaning and cooling therapy for engorgement)</span></li><li> <span id="_ctl0_RegionMainContent_productLongDesc" class="ProductLongDesc">Lanolin Plus</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirVNA_c52B-qczDi1CmLiJQQwbyTDcooqZb8tPebWJ3I0KT2tNW7_uGNjdmoV2jY60DYqOwL2xS22lSYy4eHhT_rsMSX-5SpS_iafOP2HC_dLpChYNLmHtHaUVT9W8h48vu0EuXGmkLsUy/s1600-h/pic30632.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirVNA_c52B-qczDi1CmLiJQQwbyTDcooqZb8tPebWJ3I0KT2tNW7_uGNjdmoV2jY60DYqOwL2xS22lSYy4eHhT_rsMSX-5SpS_iafOP2HC_dLpChYNLmHtHaUVT9W8h48vu0EuXGmkLsUy/s320/pic30632.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156925774333830514" border="0" /></a></li></ul><a href="http://smartchoiceswomen.com/productView.aspx">Mom's First Day Kit</a> from Smart Choices really does have everything that a new mom needs in the first few days after birth and onwards.

Her column was so popular that she turned some of the material into a novel. Her book centres on Lucy, a mother of three boys. She is married to Tom (Husband with a Short Fuse) and gave up a successful journalism career working for Newsnight, to bring up her children. They lead a fairly middle-class existence.<br /><br />Fiona Neill really captures what it's like for a mother who is just going through the daily routine of making meals, school runs, school meetings and trying to keep up with all of the cleaning. Lucy begins to get bored with things and starts looking for something, or someone (Sexy Domesticated Dad), to liven up the domesticity.<br /><br />I found this book a little bit hard to get into at first, however, once you read through the first couple of chapters you are hooked. The main character Lucy is a little bit wacky but very likable. The book focuses very much on adult relationships. It is interesting to read about the dynamics between her and her single/non-married friends (as we've all been there as the relationships change once someone gets married and has kids). It also details Lucy's relationship with her husband, other parents from her children's school and her relationship with her own parents and mother-in-law. While you often find yourself relating to these relationships, the story line can be a bit far-fetched at times yet entertaining all the same.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://rcm-ca.amazon.ca/e/cm?t=yorkregionbab-20&o=15&p=8&l=as1&asins=184605110X&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><br /></div>York Region Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481689823755700381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823874673241374480.post-3537269468025341292008-01-02T11:17:00.000-08:002008-01-03T10:36:49.226-08:00Sew Cute: Personalized Baby Clothes & Unqiue Gifts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisWXbbQPxaPP0ugg5RtxELenG66nDg4xeVijJVUE0W6ph-sY0ScKYlIT-YVTu-jkfwyfd4V6LOLlefhBYPk9WpIpcmfR3W6gq3VXNzudkbZKmdJumcvmXgTQvbyFJhdYV3FrGkSyzJX9xw/s1600-h/personalized_baby_clothes.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisWXbbQPxaPP0ugg5RtxELenG66nDg4xeVijJVUE0W6ph-sY0ScKYlIT-YVTu-jkfwyfd4V6LOLlefhBYPk9WpIpcmfR3W6gq3VXNzudkbZKmdJumcvmXgTQvbyFJhdYV3FrGkSyzJX9xw/s320/personalized_baby_clothes.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151320601494381618" border="0" /></a>Review 1: My 2 1/2 year old daughter absolutely <span style="font-weight: bold;">ADORES </span>her personalized long sleeved shirt from <a href="http://sew-cute.ca/">Sew Cute</a>!

And oer the past few months I've been eyeing her site as our nursery is being finished for our new little girl, who is set to arrive any day.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">What's even more amazing is that on top of her very successful art business, she has 3 small children and has just started another business!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Before starting </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.mumpandgrump.com/">Mump & Grump Studios</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">, Sarah made these very sophisticated bibs and droolers for a small store in her hometown and decided to start up again after her third child (who the company is named after) came along and was, shall we say very drooly.</span><br /><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.febebebe.com/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOOdIZRQCWQKSJK0gWwpQgtoWKZtZCjbA8nEwqUQKRY3IH1cgwlv-glgKxuNCqTMnA8UFsB44Jv9UoYwePZLmP07qqymZcGKaopRbU6LiNYmcEsHvTExrK_eV1TbSUZC4OxWubGFSm1tsd/s320/3_polaroid.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122469227034006002" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Sarah started </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.febebebe.com/">Febe Bebe</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> as a Canadian answer to the stylish, functional bib that has been lacking in our market.

Like many parents we try and try again and sometimes he eats, but most of the time he doesn't.<br /><br />A few weeks ago I heard some buzz about a new cookbook called Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld and was intrigued. Last Friday I saw her on the Oprah show, and after watching ordered the book. This was the first time that I've actually purchased a book from watching Oprah....<br /><br />The whole premise behind the book is not new, we can hide veggies in our kids food -- but the recipes are brilliant!<br /><br />I got it in the mail today and I am super excited and super impressed by the book. It's totally cute and retro in design and laid out so well. The recipes ranges from hiding cauliflower in scrambled eggs to Pita Pizzas with spinach.<br /><br />I also love the idea that Jessica, does hide the vegetables and fruit in the food -- but also still serves vegetables to her children, as kids have to learn that these are important and needed to be healthy and happy.<br /><br />I'm so excited to get going! Grocery shopping tomorrow, followed by pureeing and then cooking for my family. I'll be updating you soon with my favourite recipes from the book. You can check out some of the <a href="http://www.oprah.com/foodhome/food/recipes/200709/food_20070918_cake">recipes here</a> and you can purchase at any bookstore.York Region Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13481689823755700381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823874673241374480.post-43367440685303149372007-09-28T07:28:00.000-07:002007-09-28T07:43:15.259-07:00Bath-a-holic:Bath and Body Products for the Family<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBR1LLTWKZ6e2byOAtonhitvKwW4bDT4aE3WVLGsNXvtlhNHccc_fyoStbUGe73692DR8PNKeDRssDqk6PpbxdI-EnepVaMbwWRXQ2CbP8xFmnjy7B_KPsZfKMaZci4N6l6UBQtJvkwvxd/s1600-h/Bathaholic+Logo+for+Link+Exhanges+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBR1LLTWKZ6e2byOAtonhitvKwW4bDT4aE3WVLGsNXvtlhNHccc_fyoStbUGe73692DR8PNKeDRssDqk6PpbxdI-EnepVaMbwWRXQ2CbP8xFmnjy7B_KPsZfKMaZci4N6l6UBQtJvkwvxd/s400/Bathaholic+Logo+for+Link+Exhanges+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115264745812480386" border="0" /></a><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >I have just finished my latest web site for a local mom-run business called <a href="http://www.bath-a-holic.com/index.html">Bath-a-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">holic</span></a>.<br /><br />For the past nearly 2 years Kathleen has been making natural bath and body products for the whole family and I've been lucky enough to have been able to try out nearly the whole product line over the past 2 months, while I've been building this new website for her.

Babyproofing Your Marriage is different, it's all the information you need about how having a baby changes your relationship with your partner. It tackles the postpartum period, where many of go from having leisurely weekends to no free time at all and how that puts a strain on relationships. <br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">The chapter on "What's the Score?" is an eye-opener, as partner a states all the things they did this week for the family and partner b retorts back with all the things that they did this week -- and in the end with attitudes like this everyone loses.

Family Medical Journal was created by a GTA mom of three who after she had her twin girls, and her eldest daughter was 3½, suddenly I had a lot of medical<br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">information to remember from doctor's appointments for all three of them, not to mention herself and her husband. Additionally, unfortunately, one of her girls was born with some medical issues<br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">which required specialized treatment, through Sick Kids Hospital.<br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">Jodie would try to write down questions she had in preparation for appointments on a scrap piece of paper that she found in her purse in the waiting room (sound familiar?) and then try to remember all of the information in her head that she was told by the doctors.<br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">So, she created this </span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><i>Canadian </i></span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">focused family medical and health journal, where from birth parents can track appointments, questions for doctors, medications, growth and development and so much more.<br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><b>Review: </b></span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"> People who know me know that I am organized, well at least I think that there is method to my madness!!<br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">But, the Get Organized! Family Medical Journal has taken my organization to the next level. I now have a place to store all of our pertinent and important health information, including immunization records, fingerprints and DNA for the kids. I keep the Get Organized! Family Medical Journal handy in the kitchen, so when I am thinking about any health related question, I can jot if down for the next time we are at the doctors.<br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">I've also been taking the Get Organized! Family Medical Journal to the doctors for the past few visits and it's made the visits less stressful, as having a toddler running around the room, while I am trying to ask questions, or take down information about the appointment can be a challenge!<br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">I really can't say enough about this product and it's creator!
