Pregnancy

  • Expectations Versus Reality During Pregnancy

    In our over-filtered social media world, I started looking back on what pregnancy was for me, and just how different it was. It wasn’t that long ago, but I didn’t have a smart phone and Instagram didn’t even exist yet! I thought about expectations versus realities and how we place…

  • What Shopping From The Heart Means To Me

    The Lakeshore Hospital is the place that I rushed to when I got my first braxton hicks contractions at 30 years old. I was a first-time mom-to-be and I was scared. I got support and relief with my mother who stayed by my side. At two weeks overdue, after 24…

  • After the Birth of My Twins #WorldPrematurityDay

    I woke in the intensive care unit with a nurse looking at me, telling me everything was fine. I was so tired. I remember a warm blanket was on top of me and I could feel the weight of it on my body. They rolled me into another room. I…

  • Top 6 Benefits of Yoga for Children

    I hear a lot about the benefits of yoga for adults, but just imagine if all those amazing benefits began at an early age. What would it change in the little person growing up? How would it help them, or even empower them? I spoke with my sister, Angela Chiarella,…

  • Prematurity Awareness: What It’s Like to Have Preemies

     “You are going into pre-term labour and we need to have you admitted.” I was 28 weeks pregnant with my twins. I was not prepared for anything that would happen next.  As a mama of multiples, you start your pregnancy with full knowledge that you are at a higher risk…

  • 10 Things NOT to Say to a Pregnant Mama

    There seems to be a baby surge in my group of friends lately! I thought I would send out a blog post to all you mamas and mamas-to-be to make you laugh (and possibly cringe). These comments were actually said to me either during my first pregnancy or my second with twins – no joke!

We managed to get a project done for our boys. We We managed to get a project done for our boys. We got posters from their favourite movies! We placed them in poster frames in the basement for their ultra cool hangout. These simple projects can take a while (got the posters for them for Christmas) but they are so amazing when they are done. What movie poster would you put up? #mrsdoubtfire #harrypotter #ferrisbuellersdayoff #familymovienight
It's March. I mean, how? Haven't we been in March It's March. I mean, how? Haven't we been in March all year? 
My son took to painting and made this sweet little decoration for #stpatricksday out of a yogurt container. Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? With kids, it's fun to find any reason to celebrate. But I'm 1/2 Irish so this is a special day for us. To see a few ideas for little ones, feel free to check my celebrating section #ontheblog ☘
Pizza in all its homemade glory. If you had told m Pizza in all its homemade glory. If you had told me a year ago I would be making fresh pizza dough at home every weekend, I would have laughed. While I may have made pizza before, I can say now I've perfected it. Pizza for five, right on the cookie sheets like my nonna used to do. What is one thing you are cooking / baking now that you didn't before?
PS @montreal_mom 's dough recipe is pretty awesome.
Hey guys! I got a haircut! By ME. Yep, it's not pe Hey guys! I got a haircut! By ME.
Yep, it's not perfect. I don't have that awesome shiny finish the stylist puts on my hair to give it extra oomph but it'll do. I know we all have different versions of what we can handle. Truth is, I can't handle much else besides my boys being in school (I can hardly handle that). I still sanitize my groceries. I still keep my coat in the garage to air out. I have a system for things coming into the home. Do you judge me for it? Today is #pinkshirtday in schools. It is supposed to emphasize to children to be nice and end bullying. But guess what? If they see parents bullying - online and offline, this day won't really mean much to them. 
So parents, let's #bekind to each other. We are all doing what we can to stay safe & stay sane. Respect others, our kids are watching.
Pretty sure this needs to be on a pet magazine cov Pretty sure this needs to be on a pet magazine cover or something. Does @natgeo cover pets? I mean, he looks like a superhero up there!
Even with all this snow, the sun is shinning longer each day and it's giving me good feelings in my soul. Do you feel it too?
G I V E A W A Y ! You guys, I swear I haven't laug G I V E A W A Y !
You guys, I swear I haven't laughed out loud at a family movie for a while and this one cracked me up! 
We loved watching @thecroods and all the extra features on DVD.
Now you have the chance to win a copy too, in time for March break! Visit my post #ontheblog and comment there (link in my profile). For extras, tag a friend here that would love to win a copy too. Each new comment will get you an extra entry but you MUST comment on the blog too with your answer to be entered. 
Good luck to all!
