Today ⭐️

My previous post posted the same photo a bunch of times instead of a few others for some reason, so here are a few more moments that made us smile today 💙

I did not take a single video or photo on my phone 😅 but thank you to all the vendors I worked with to put this party together:

My baby turned 3 💙

We said goodbye to those luscious curls and celebrated David 💙 Even though he’ll never read this, I feel compelled to say how much I love watching him grow day after day and become a little man and such a special part of our family ⭐️

Happy birthday my sunshine ☀️

The way my heart just bubbled over watching this video of David today… to me that’s what it feels like to be a mom. These are the moments I live for. Hours and hours of challenging care and work, for small pockets of moments like these that make my heart feel things I can’t describe.

Watching my kids discover the world is one of my greatest joys as a parent. Life is so fast paced, we often fall into the role of keeping our kids fed and clothed and just blur from one task to the next in between.

But no. This time does disappear so fast, if we don’t slow down we will miss it. And I can argue that this exists at any phase of childhood and adolescence our kids go through. It’s never too late to slow down and BE there to enjoy your child, at any age, not just to “keep them alive”.

Most of my @beingmaman mom gang have young kids and are really in the thick of it all, like I am now. We need this reminder the most. We are exhausted, busy, physically and mentally sucked into the mom life around the clock. We need this reminder the most.

This reel soundtrack has been criticized for making moms anxious about not enjoying their kids because they’re too overwhelmed. I believe the opposite. The truth is hard to hear, but it can snap us out of a rut. If this audio triggers you, think why? If you’re overwhelmed and feel badly about not enjoying your kids, how can we change that for even 1 minute in a day? Why wouldn’t we want to achieve that?

I’d be hard pressed to find many moms that are brimming with joy about all aspects of parenting. It’s ok to not like it sometimes. It’s okay to like some parts and not others. What we don’t want is to forget to LOVE some parts of being a mom. To REVEL in some parts of being a mom. We just have to slow down to see these moments for what they are.

We do SO much, it’s only fair that someone reminds us to stop and reap the benefits of our hard work ♥️

Happy mamas day 🌷

Part 2: Washing your UPPA Baby!

Here is how I prep to wash the stroller parts.

I then throw it all in the washing machine on a regular cycle. Air dry everything and reassemble!

My babies spend lots of time in their strollers. Their skin goes directly onto the fabric and both have at some point or another tried to eat various parts of the stroller 😳

That’s why I like to use non-toxic cleaning products and detergent like @branchbasics to clean/wash their stuff 💦

Happy cleaning ✨

Washing the Uppa Baby is so easy I do it multiple times a year! But this is the season for spring cleaning and Passover cleaning and this has been my most asked question.

So here is a choppy tutorial on how to disassemble your stroller prior to cleaning all while holding your baby and answering toddler questions 😅

It’s basically ASMR but for momming 😂

Check out for Part 2 on how to wash the parts 💦

Mom truth: it’s the first time in my entire life

Mom truth: it’s the first time in my entire life that I traveled without doing my nails, wax, eyebrows or shaving.

A lot of us are in a “just keep swimming” survival mode these days. It’s easy to forget about ourselves simply to preserve the energy we do have to do the very most important things to keep our families going. Taking care of ourselves can fall way behind in this to-do list or not make it on the list at all! (I literally cut my own hair twice in the last few months - and my hair salon is across the street from my house… so… I know this 😅)

While it’s important to push a message to all moms to prioritize ourselves so we can be our best selves for our families, it’s also important to acknowledge how often that doesn’t happen and how that feels. Not taking proper care of yourself can look like:

- skipping meals
- skipping showers
- letting go of personal care you’re used to
- staying up late to try and catch up on alone time you don’t get during the day
- isolating yourself
- decreased social contacts

And can make us feel:
- low energy
- depleted
- resentment towards partner/kids
- isolated

None of these are conducive to providing proper care for our kids, nor to fostering healthy relationships with our families.

When we put ourselves first we our giving our families the gift of a strong, happy and healthy CEO of house & home ♥️💪🏼

Bye 🇨🇦 Hoping to find you in better spirits

Bye 🇨🇦 Hoping to find you in better spirits when we’re back!

Tip for flying with young babies these days: many flights aren’t full which means there are extra seats to lie down and to get a seat for your baby instead of keeping them on your lap.

We asked whether there were empty seats at check-in and brought Gabriel’s car seat on the flight with us so he had his own seat free of charge :)

Mom truth: lugging carseats through the airport was a disaster ✌🏼

* the extra car seat we brought is the Cosco Scenera available on Amazon for cheap and it’s EXTRA light. We have two of these in grandparent’s cars for when they have the kids. They’re rear or forward facing for kiddos 5-40 lbs.

This is about unity and freedom. It’s about ending all mandates and treating all of us equally and with love in your heart. It is beautiful to see Canadians come together in this way ♥️

“The light will literally drive out the darkness” ☀️

We waited long enough. 2 years has been long enough.

I will not show my medical records in order to buy groceries and cleaning products for my family. I will not show my medical records to buy a sweater or socks. I will not show my child’s medical records nor will I force my 2 year old to wear a mask in order to attend swimming lessons at our community center.

We want our country back and I am sending strength and gratitude towards all the truckers and people standing on Parliament Hill for us this weekend and for as long as it takes to see real change 🇨🇦

First moms trip since becoming a mom was part trip

First moms trip since becoming a mom was part trip, part mom 😅

The mom part: The second my body knew it was no longer responsible for little humans it crashed! Naps, painful blocked duct, pumping around the clock, up early 👀

The trip part: Having no responsibilities, letting my body rest after a helluva year (lots of pressure on a 3 day trip😅), time with my girls, sun, water, beach, good food, king size bed to myself, peeing by myself, showering by myself, and a massage 🧖🏼‍♀️

Must redo 🤩
