		<description><![CDATA[It's Winter and I am sure may of you can commiserate with me when I say that trying to convince a toddler to keep his snow gear on SUCKS. Mittens are the worst, in my opinion, as they are so easy to take off. This week, I picked up a pair of Mox (by Woombie) in the hope that the extra long cuffs would provide too great a challenge for Boy#3.  <a href="http://refashionista.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/review-mox-mittens/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=refashionista.wordpress.com&amp;blog=996565&amp;post=1926&amp;subd=refashionista&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saying things out loud can make them feel very real and I am uncomfortable with how real this already feels some days. Depression sucks. Even on good days it can be felt looming in the corner, waiting for the chance to take advantage of a weak moment or a slip in composure. Sometimes the effort of holding it all together can make a girl feel like flying apart. <a href="http://refashionista.wordpress.com/2012/01/04/the-power-of-words/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=refashionista.wordpress.com&amp;blog=996565&amp;post=1915&amp;subd=refashionista&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer is fast upon us and with it the usual scramble for sunscreen. My search for a safe and effective sunscreen for my family has caused me headaches in the past -- so many were super oily or really thick and difficult to rub into the skin.

This year, the Green Beaver Company, based in Hawkesbury, ON, released its organic SPF 30 sunscreen on the market. I was given a sample of their Kids SPF 30 Sunscreen and of their organic SPF 15 Lip Moisturizer to review, and I have to say I am mightily impressed! <a href="http://refashionista.wordpress.com/2011/06/07/review-green-beaver-sunscreen-products/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=refashionista.wordpress.com&amp;blog=996565&amp;post=1770&amp;subd=refashionista&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

My youngest turns 1 year old in a week, so age and stages are in the forefront of my mind, as they are anytime one of my children hits a milestone.

We reached a compromise in which I am reading them a couple Grimm's Fairy Tales, from the Kobo's preloaded library of classics, a few nights a week.

		<description><![CDATA[I love this recipe. Initially worked up as a way to use up leftover sweet potato or squash from pie-making or meals, I now double up the batch and add in whatever leftover mashed veggies we have from supper to make up the "2 cups" of mash needed for the recipe. This makes a large dark, moist loaf -- great with a cup of coffee! <a href="http://refashionista.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/recipe-mashed-veg-bread/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=refashionista.wordpress.com&amp;blog=996565&amp;post=1696&amp;subd=refashionista&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A number of years ago, suffering holiday burnout, I decided to simplify my holidays. Under the "keeping it simple, keeping it fun" motto, I issued myself an annual gifting challenge -- one year everything had to be "previously loved", discovered in thrift stores and antique shops. Another year, I used reusable wrappings for everything -- tea towels and fabric ribbons make great wrapping paper and a gal can never have too many new tea towels!

		<description><![CDATA[On Twitter recently, people were posting <a title="tweet your 16 year old self" href="http://twitter.com/#!/search/tweetyour16yearoldself" target="_blank">tweets to their 16yr old selves</a> -- nuggets of advice that could have helped, gems that would have made it easier. Some of this tied in to the "It Gets Better" campaign because, really, it does. And if it doesn't get better, it at least gets different and sometimes that's just as good.

It started me thinking. What would have helped me at 16? What would I have taken in and embraced? What could have better shaped my teen experience or helped me grow better as a person? <a href="http://refashionista.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/a-letter-to-my-16yr-old-self/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=refashionista.wordpress.com&amp;blog=996565&amp;post=1608&amp;subd=refashionista&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I maintain that cloth diapering is easy, good for the wallet, great for the environment and the best choice for babies. If you start out cloth diapering with good quality diapers and covers, treat them well, and develop a solid wash routine, cloth diapering should be a breeze! Sometimes the best of intentions can go astray and, having done some troubleshooting in recent days, I thought I'd share a list of what I see as the most common cloth diapering mistakes! <a href="http://refashionista.wordpress.com/2010/10/27/common-diapering-mistakes/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=refashionista.wordpress.com&amp;blog=996565&amp;post=1562&amp;subd=refashionista&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life is full of transitions. I've always thought of these moments of big change as doorways I step through into another point in my life. Some are obvious -- getting married, moving to Ottawa, having my boys -- but some are less apparent but no less transformative. Since having my boys, I have gotten a lot of joy from watching them approach their own moments of transition with grace and aplomb, in their own time and in their own way.

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone with a baby knows a good baby carrier makes anything possible, whether it be navigating a crowded mall, helping a fussy baby get to sleep, or (in my case) breezing through a busy shift at work while keeping your hands free for whatever you need to do. A great carrier does this by properly distributing your baby’s weight across your back, shoulders and hips, adapting to your changing needs by allowing you to wear your baby on your front, hip, or back.

		<description><![CDATA[We believe in litterless lunches, here at our house. We use a variety of stainless steel and plastic food containers and reusable water bottles. I knitted the boys "apple cozies" to keep their apples from getting bruised in their bags. We typically don't send prepackaged foods like store-bought granola bars or gummy snacks. Sending homemade snacks isn't that much more difficult than driving to the store to buy a treat to tuck in, so we tend to avoid them.

What we can't avoid, however, is the challenge in fitting these larger reusable containers into a lunch bag! As great as they are, they are rather chunky and take up a fair amount of space, so I posed my dilemma to Thermos and they stepped up to the challenge! <a href="http://refashionista.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/review-thermos-funtainers-lunchbags/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=refashionista.wordpress.com&amp;blog=996565&amp;post=1503&amp;subd=refashionista&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
