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!

Pesto is a great sauce for pasta and it’s a great change from tomato sauce. In order to make our pesto healthier, I make it with baby spinach leaves instead of basil leaves. At home we call it “Popeye Pasta” and the kids go crazy for it!

I went to the kitchen to get lunch ready and this is what I found waiting for me.

At our house, there is no shortage of stuffed animals. My little ones refer to them as “stuffies”. Sometimes, I wish I could hide them all because they just take over the home! But alas, I remember being a little one too.

There are very few times that I voluntarily want to turn on my oven in the dead of summer. We eat cold meals often, eat outside in the shade, and rarely have big hot meals. But there is one thing that we always eat, in the winter or the summer. Pizza!

Have you taken a ride? It’s a great way to see Old Montreal!
