Considerations About Pregnancy Later in Life from First Response

November 16, 2015 by Kathryn 28 Comments

My mom had quite a big gap between her oldest three and her youngest two children. In fact, she was in her forties when she gave birth to my youngest sister. I was seventeen at the time and while I was surprised that she was having another baby so late in life, I didn’t realize just how many potential concerns there are for both mother and baby when a woman gets pregnant in her later years. Of course, with some proper planning and preparation, having a baby later in life can be the ideal choice for a family. Just make sure to consider the potential benefits and difficulties so that you’re prepared!

Pregnant After 35 – Considerations

  • Delaying reproduction often makes it’s more difficult to reproduce – By age 35, most women have a 15 to 20 percent chance of getting pregnant in a given month, and by 45 this goes down to just 3 or 4 percent
  • Birth weight of newborns tend to decrease as the mother’s age increases, which is unhealthy for development
  • Parents have had more time for higher education and greater labour participation meaning they likely have more income and greater family stability
  • Households that are financially stable and established contribute to a better environment to support raising children

October is Fire Prevention Month and it’s such an important time to make sure that your family is protected and prepared in case of a fire. It’s no secret to most people that having working fire alarms in the home is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your family’s safety in an emergency, but many people still tend to forget to check those alarms regularly and replace them periodically when needed.

First Alert, Canada’s most trusted and recognized fire safety brand, wants to ensure that Canadian families stay safe all year, and this month First Alert is making that even easier with the release of the new First Alert ATOM Smoke Alarm this month. The alarm uses micro technology to provide maximum protection in a small and sleek design. In fact, the ATOM Smoke Alarm is no bigger than a votive candle, which means it’s the perfect alarm for discreetly protecting your stylish home without spoiling the look of your décor!

Let Your Child Build an Adventure with New Mega Bloks Building Sets-Giveaway

September 16, 2013 by Kathryn 110 Comments

My oldest son Zackary has always loved building with blocks and over the years, he’s developed from building huge towers with large Mega Bloks to putting together intricate sets of favourite characters. What I love about building sets is that they don’t just give kids a chance to build a fun model. The characters and models are also good for hours and hours of imaginative play once the building is complete!

Recently Mega Bloks Canada sent me three of its newest building sets to review. When I was younger, the only Mega Bloks available were the larger First Builders variety perfect for toddlers just learning to build or kids with larger-than-life dreams for their creation. But the company has changed a lot since then and now it has a variety of sets appropriate for all ages! My boys were so excited to see the Mega Bloks Fire Truck Finn First Builders set with the original building blocks I remembered from my own childhood and the Hot Wheels and Skylanders Giants Mega Bloks sets featuring small blocks perfect for older children!

July 22, 2013 by Kathryn 5 Comments

Disney Junior is celebrating summer in a very special way this month and with the boys getting a little stir-crazy being at home, I couldn’t be happier about it. From hit shows to great movies, there’s tons of fun this month for kids of all ages!

The adventures kick off with a pirate and princess summer celebration. Kids can tune in weekdays at 6:30 pm EST to enjoy episodes of Sophia the First and Jake and the Never Land Pirates every single day! My youngest son Benjamin is a huge fan of Jake, Izzy, Cubby and Skully so he is pretty happy about being able to sit down and watch an episode of the show he loves every day. In fact, I even made him a cute pirate hat that he can wear when he watches the show! To make your own Jake and the Never Land Pirates hats, download this free printable template from the Disney Junior website! [Read more…]

Top Three Must-Have Products for Surviving Baby’s First Year

March 15, 2013 by Kathryn 13 Comments

Becoming a mom is such a monumental moment and while the first year with a new baby is full of love and laughter, it can also be a little overwhelming. Babies grow and change so quickly that a mom can feel like there’s always something new she needs for her little one. Some baby gear is more of a luxury than a necessity, but to make caring for your precious bundle of joy a little easier, there are some baby must-haves that can help!

A good stroller is always a top priority in my mind. Walking is one of the very best ways to get back in shape after giving birth and having a high-quality stroller will make a new mom more likely to head out on an adventure. I love the Britax B-Agile stroller because it’s lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and good for both smooth and bumpy terrain. [Read more…]
