Another great Canadian company to love ♥
Toronto-based company Pi’lo makes the most delightful mobiles, and I am in love with this birds and nest for a gender neutral nursery.

If you are a fan of the show Dragon’s Den, you might have seen the beautiful Christine Poirier pitching her Momzelle nursing tops to the Dragons last week.
Didn’t she do an amazing job? (If you missed it you can watch here). It is so fantastic to see a fashion forward young entrepreneur making stylish nursing tops for Moms! I know that one of my biggest frustrations as a new mama was the lack of nursing tops that remotely resembled anything I would normally wear.
I have made do for a while with layering shirts, but I am finally taking the plunge and ordering the organic long tank in black. I’ll wear it with jeans, leggings, skirts, shorts and layer cardigans over top until it gets warm enough out!
I have known about Momzelle for a while, but I have been putting off placing an order because I thought I could make do with the clothes I have. After seeing Christine on the show, I just really want to support her business. Canadian, ethically made nursing tops…..it is pretty much everything my blog stands for 
Look for a review soon!

I’ve got nothing today….too busy dressing baby up in his tie, making brunch and enjoying the sunshine.
Like, OMG! Armani now makes baby bottles! You can get this brand-emblazoned bottle on at Sak’s Fifth Avenue for a mere USD! What a steal! Your chic little baby will be the envy off all the other babies with his designer bottle.
Wait.
I seriously cannot believe this. Baby luxe has officially gone too far. I can kind of understand the designers making baby clothes. I mean, somebody has to make Suri’s 3.5 million dollar wardrobe, right? People with money to burn need to be able to buy hundred dollar onesies that will be poop explosioned or spit up on, right?
But, bottles? Seriously? Mr. Armani is now going to splash his brand on a bottle (probably made in China with some sort of toxic ingredient in it) and charge ?
Le grand sigh.

Today you are 3 months old. Your smile is infectious. You can’t stop rolling over! You have recently discovered your hands and you love to look at them and grasp on to things (especially Mommy’s hair!). We enjoy and love you more and more each day and think you are the best baby ever!

It’s so hard to believe, but my darling daughter is turning one in a few days. If you’re wondering what infant potty training looks like at one, then this blog is for you!Misses: We have about 2 pee misses a week, but sometimes more if she happens to be teething. Last week we had a bit of a missy week with her waking up and peeing before we got her out of the bed. Poo misses are extremely rare,

Started my day with some BT and saw a great interview with author of How to be an Everyday Philanthropist, Nicole Bouchard Boles. I love the concept of the book and can’t wait to pick it up at the library. Who knew there were 330 ways to make a difference in the world at little to no cost to you?
A little more information from Amazon.ca, and a link to her blog.
Have an old pair of sneakers lying around the house? Nike’s Reuse-a-Shoe program will recycle them into safe playground surfaces. Getting rid of that old cell phone? Call to Protect will refurbish it as an emergency lifeline for abused women. Racking up frequent- flier miles? Donate them to an ill child so they can travel and get the care they need. Like to knit? Knit hats for cancer patients.
Start a petition, sign a petition, send out an awareness e-mail, and network with like-minded givers and doers at Care2.com. There are ideas for giving things you might never have thought of–your hair, old prom dress, breast milk for African AIDS orphans. Ideas for using your hobbies, talents, time, trash, technology, and more. Each suggestion can be accomplished in the course of a day, most within an hour.
Use your Belongings: You’re not just giving away stuff: You’re keeping an abandoned animal warm, helping a woman land a job, making a sick child’s dream come true.
Use your Body: Give with your body. Use your legs to run for a cause. Use your arms to snuggle a hospitalized baby. Give of your body. Donate hair to create mats that clean oil spills. Donate umbilical cord blood to save lives. Donate breast milk for premature or critically ill babies in need.
Use your Family: Give new meaning to quality time: Adopt a puppy; become a frog watcher; be a host family for the Fresh Air Fund; deposit change in a Giving Jar; sign up for National Family Volunteer Day.
Use your Talents: Match your skills with a cause: Are you a whiz at Web design, accounting, writing? Help a school in Guatemala design a brochure; organize the books in your community center; write a grant proposal for a local homeless shelter.
Use your Computer: Give back without leaving your desk: Use a search engine that donates money to charities each time you click; be a virtual mentor to an orphaned teen; shop at charity malls.
In tough times it’s more important than ever that people and communities pull together– How To Be An Everyday Philanthropist makes it easier than ever before.
And then….. on a related note….. I found Toy Society – which is a blog to bring together people who want to bring joy and handmade toys to a child in a whimsical and magical way. I LOVE this idea and it will give me an excuse to make one of the cute crafts I have been drooling over on www.craftgawker.com. Check out some of the toy “drops” in the pictures below. Wouldn’t it be so neat for your child to find one of these while out on a walk? I just LOVE it!
How am I going to wait two more days to see Jim & Pam finally welcome their little one on my favourite show – The Office???
What do you think? Boy or Girl? Will Michael find some way to be in the delivery room? Will Dwight try and give some breastfeeding advice? I can’t WAIT!
