May is Midwifery Month

We have a very soft spot in our hearts for midwives - when Sebastian & Savara were born, we had Chloe & Heather from Bloom Community Midwives to help bring them into the world. It was a wonderful experience - especially since our babes were both born at home.

There'll be a picnic at Trout Lake Park on May 5th for all you Vancouverites. We hope to see you there! :)

Go Little Fishy Go

Was so fun watching our little guy, Sebastian, release his salmon fry into the stream a couple weeks ago. Many thanks to the Coho Society of the North Shore and all the volunteers helping in their Adopt-a-Fish Event. Next year, Savara will be able to release one too!

2011's First Giveaway Contest - An Abeko Bib!

This fantastic bib is extremely well made by a Swedish company and it's eco-friendly.

All Abeko products are Oko-Tex certified, which means they are free from 100 tested harmful chemicals.
