Hi there!

I am a student at Sheridan College doing an academic research assignment on the eating and grocery buying habits of moms and families with children. I have chosen to focus on the new pre-assembled meal trend, and have created a questionnaire to be filled out by moms and dads.

You can view the questionnaire by clicking the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=iFvjHQSE3hr6YrBDW8RBbg_3d_3d

Glow Baby

Founded in Toronto by Lindsay Harris, Glow Baby is dedicated to providing unique and user friendly scheduling tools for today’s busy parents. As a mother of two young daughters, Ainsley and Juliet, Lindsay quickly came to appreciate the difficulties of caring for a toddler while at the same time making sure the needs of her newborn where met.

“Baby’s First Journal” was developed to help parents through this difficult period. It provides a place to track all the important details of your newborns schedule. The tracking enables parents to better understand their baby’s patterns and to support a schedule that made everyone’s lives easier, while at the same time reducing stress.

In the near future Glow Baby will be launching a full suite of scheduling tools designed to help both parents of newborns and families simplify their lives.

Oakville Moms Review:
When I first heard of Glow Baby I thought I wish I had this when my boys were babies. Glow Baby has created the "Baby’s First Journal", a well designed and organized journal in which you can keep track of your baby's feedings (breastfeeding and/or bottle feeding), sleeping, and diapering routine. You can make note of your baby's bath time and vitamin intake (I sometimes wasn't sure if I gave my sons their vitamin at times, should have kept track of it!!!). You can also make note of your baby's daily achievements, this is a must for new parents and something memorable to look back at. Glow Baby has also added a page where you can keep track of your child's height, weight and head circumference, very useful for the doctor's checkups. Overall Glow Baby's "Baby’s First Journal" is a practical log book for parents with babies, whether it's your first or third child, we all need to record our baby's development. Select from blue, pink or green colours. This definitely makes a great baby shower gift or for someone that just had a baby.

Oakville Moms Review:
I've been looking around for a shopping cart cover that I can use when I go shopping with my son. I am always worried about germs when I have to put my son in the shopping cart. Even though I do use a wipe to clean the shopping cart handle, I always felt it wasn't good enough. Canadian Cozy™ has come up with a great product that will ease your mind. It's the Shopping Cart Cozy. Made of natural bamboo/cotton lining. Super easy to use and install, "Fold n' Go". Canadian Cozy™ provides you with a tote bag to carry your Shopping Cart Cozy. What's great about the Shopping Cart Cozy is that it fits both shopping carts and highchairs, a major bonus! Some features: rear buckling, side pocket for storage, wash and dryer safe. They have a beautiful range of prints that you can select from. Since I'd been using the Shopping Cart Cozy I feel so much better knowing my son is being protected from catching any germs from the shopping cart. So now he can touch all that he wants and even put his mouth on the Shopping Cart Cozy and I don't need to get so concerned about germs. For those of you who are concerned about eliminating germs when you go shopping with your baby or toddler, specially now that Flu session is coming upon us, definitely check out Canadian Cozy™, they have made the product that you should carry when you put your child in the shopping cart. The Shopping Cart Cozy is always in the trunk of my car, never go shopping without it!
