I had an unbelievable find this morning. After having searched near and far for mushroom compost, finding that the local mushroom farm was now closed, finding that the only sources in the provinces were too far away… I had resigned myself to not having any for this garden season. I settled on just four composts [...]

First Session Wrap-up: Our First Six Weeks of Charlotte Mason
by heather
We’ve come to the end of our first session of homeschooling with a Charlotte Mason approach. I decided to follow the idea of organizing 6-week session blocks according to the TangleWood School’s suggestions. At the end of the session, we compare what we’ve done with what we’ve planned and see what adjustments might need to [...]

O Canada… Thy History is Confused!
by heather
So I was googling the lyrics to O Canada. Purely out of laziness, so I could just copy-paste and print instead of typing them out myself. I’m not hyper-patriotic or anything… in fact I think the recent hubbub about the New Brunswick elementary school that decided to stop singing the anthem every single day is [...]

Bump Maternity – A Baby Boutique Here In Fredericton!
by heather
I must correct myself. In a previous post, I said that “for the most part, you can only get slings online,” and that:
… specialty baby shops are starting to carry some slings other than the Baby Bjorn-style carriers. But buyer beware! Most of these are c-r-a-p.
Well it turns out that there is a baby boutique [...]

Review: Omni Plastic Storage Boxes
by heather
I love these Omni plastic storage boxes by KIS.
Okay, I know what you’re thinking. PLASTIC? Isn’t this blog eco-friendly?
Well, yeah. We try to be. But we still need to store things, and as wonderful as it would be to have all our storage in vintage wooden trunks, bamboo baskets and stainless steel Bento boxes, in [...]

Where to Find Good Slings in Canada
by heather
Probably the number-one most common question I’m asked when I’m out and about with Pomme in a sling — well, other than “is that really as comfortable as they say? — is “where can I get one?” Time after time I’ve chatted with young moms and older grandfathers and young couples just thinking about having [...]

The Mother By Nature Dream
by heather
Last year, I had the idea of starting an online store. This store would feature natural and handmade, organic whenever possible, clothing and toys for babies and mamas. After the birth of my daughter in 2006, I was having a very hard time finding, for instance, organic nursing tops in Canada. At [...]
