Unbelievably, it has now been a year since I first purchased my MamanLoupsDen domain and started blogging “for real.” I am so proud and grateful for the support I have received from all of my readers, generous sponsors and vendors and amazing bloggeagues (blogging colleagues… Oxford Dictionary 2015, here I come!).

Summer Lovin’ my Hotmilk Nursing Nightie!

intrigue nursing nightie

Disclosure: I received this product free for review. All opinions remain my own!

First off, let me apologize for using a stock image of the nightie in use. I really considered modelling it for you… I mean, I’ve posted goofy pictures of myself before, so why not one in my nightie? Well, sorry, folks, I just couldn’t do it, even if I do look smokin’ hot in it! Continue reading

InfinityMom 3-in-1 Scarf Review

Infinity Mom Scarf review

Disclosure: I received this product free in exchange for this review. All opinions remain my own

The InfinityMom 3-in-1 scarf is yet another example of why I should start marketing my ingenious ideas… because otherwise someone else will!

When Cub was first born, I remember wearing my favourite infinity scarf and thinking about how, if it unfolded, it would be a great nursing cover. Well, obviously the creator of the InfinityMom scarf is brilliant and entrepreneurial (and possibly a long-distance mind reader), because here it is: a gorgeous, stylish infinity scarf that can provide a bit of privacy when nursing.

Slugs & Snails: Boys in Tights

slugs and snails review

Disclosure: I received this product free for review. All opinions remain my own!

I like to think that I’m ahead of the game as far as innovative baby products are concerned… just too lazy to put my ideas into practice. I’m always seeing new products on the market and, rather than thinking, “Why didn’t I think of that?”, I’m usually thinking, “Cool! Someone else thought of that!”

Vigilant Tea Matcha (Green Tea Powder): Green Up and Go! #winallthegoodies


Vigilant Tea Green Tea Powder Review

 

I received this product free for review. All opinions remain my own!

A terrible thing happened last month. I use terrible in the hyperbolic, Super Why-esque “Super Big Problem” sense, since there are clearly worse things in the world… so I guess I’m glad this is what I have to complain about:

I left me coffee grinder at my friend’s house. Continue reading

Post-Partum Pad Party Promotion: Call for sponsors (and bloggers)!

Post Partum Pad Party Invite

 

As you might know, I’m a recent convert to reusable menstrual products. I’m not pregnant (yet), but I’m already convinced that I’ll be using post-partum cloth pads when the time comes. Since I doubt I’ll have the energy to review and promote post-partum pads when I am post-partum myself, I’ve decided to take advantage of my dear friend Adrienne’s impending delivery… Continue reading

5 Maternity Product Names that Make me Cringe

Scary Mommy is one of my favourite “Cub is distracted for five minutes let’s have a cup of tea” reads. Sarcasm might be the lowest form of humour (although I think potty jokes are), but it’s also my favourite!

Scary Mommy’s recent mommy terminology post reminded me of a similar list that’s been floating around my head since getting pregnant:

Understanding the Different Types of Blog Posts at Maman Loup’s Den

decoding different types of blog posts

When I first starting blogging in October, 2012, it was most definitely just a BLOBBY. (That’s my word for Blog as a Hobby. Let’s make it a thing… 2015 Oxford Dictionary, here we come!) I have this really overactive brain and when I have an idea, I feel compelled to share it with anyone who will listen. In order to spare my immediate entourage, and thanks to a ridiculously easygoing newborn, I started BLOBBYING in my spare time. (Yes, it shall also be a verb.)

Debest: Naturally-Coloured Cotton Baby Clothes

debest naturally coloured cotton

—Sponsored Post—

Cotton. It’s everywhere, it’s probably the most commonly used fiber for baby clothes and layette. But the cultivation of traditional white cotton accounts for almost a quarter of the world’s pesticide usage according to NaturalNews.com. White cotton is treated with harsh chemicals (such as bleaches, flame retardants and dyes) that have an impact on both the environment and our bodies. Until recently, I had no idea that coloured cotton was something we could grow. I’ve now learned that not only can coloured cotton be cultivated, but that it is easy to grow organically as the plant is more naturally pest resistant, and it does not need to be bleached or dyed at the processing stage.
