O-V Optics Sunglasses for Kids: Protecting your children’s gorgeous little sparklers from harmful UV rays

Posted on March 24, 2015 by mommabeartrax

On our way to the stores: She’s got swag. No, like, actually she’s got the Swag model…and is “never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down”…Ricky Astley, anyone? No? oh well.

Ever look at those celeb’s kids with sunnies, and go “ahh, geez what a douchebag parent: dressing your kids up like little adults. What are they doing?” Nope? Me neither. But I am pretty sure a lot of people do look at them and dismiss it as purely cute accessories, when in fact, it really should be part of everyday life for every kid.

That’s right, kids wearing shades should be Continue reading →

Easy family time at Meerendal Farmer’s Market

Posted on March 12, 2015 by mommabeartrax

I promise they had an awesomely fun time, despite those faces you see here.

So this market is not exactly your sprawling lawns, with stalls as far as the eye can see kind of market. No. But that is exactly what I LOVE about it! Because,honestly, there are days when we just don’t feel like the crowds, or the hipster buzz, or being spoilt for choice. I know that sounds weird…Normally that’s some of the best bits to a market, right? But ya know, when you’re really tired from a work week, one that’s been peppered with one too many sleep deprived nights courtesy of parentlife, and all the other responsibilities and commitments that go with it, sometimes we just don’t have the energy to navigate anything too big. But we know the kids need to get out of the house as much as we do. Yes? Well, then Meerendal Farmer’s Market is just the thing for you!

It’s got a little bit of everything, caters sufficently for entertaining kiddies, and certainly does satisfy any Continue reading →

Introducing, Whiskey Wednesdays!!

Posted on March 3, 2015 by mommabeartrax

Calm down, my male readers (reader?) This is not a whish-key giveaway…And no, this is not a tale where mommy just lets it all hang out, lets the kids run rampant and do what ever they want, while mummy goes to search for the answers to life/parenthood/sanity at the bottom of a whiskey bottle… (although, sometimes, I do feel driven that way…even though I never did develop a pallete for whiskey)…No. This is where I’d like to introduce you to our furry child, named Whiskey.I’ve mentioned her Continue reading →
