April 2016 – The Milk Memoirs

Baby Deliciousness (And a sweet Baby Sense Giveaway!)

Posted on April 29, 2016 by mommabeartrax

Call me a sap if you want, but I find all things baby simply delicious. Delicious in the sense of chubby limbs, multiple chins, buttery skin, tiny poffer feet, and soft tufts of hair; Delicious as in that addictive I-can’t-stop-inhaling-my-newborn kind of way. I mean, what’s not to love? …Ok, except maybe the lack of sleep bit. Yeah, hold the lack of sleep part, thanks – that was a major suckatude for me on both counts. But everything else? Gahd, I could glaze over into an oxytocin coma from all of it.

And if you start talking about those little products and Continue reading →

A morning of inspiration at the Kids Emporium Bloggers Breakfast

The Winning Squad

I’ve had both the honour and pleasure of being invited to quite a few events through this little blog of mine – all of which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed and always appreciated. However, I’ve got to say this event was truly something else! It was one where I walked away with more than just being entertained and informed by a company, or with an amazing little goody bag. Instead, I walked away enriched, encouraged and my mind brimming with the soul food that they had served up!

Not your average blogger event, now is it? Well, Kids Emporium is not Continue reading →

Some good ol’ fashioned fun that was had at the Good Housekeeping BrightFuture Family Fun day

Posted on April 14, 2016 by mommabeartrax

Last week I previewed the Good Housekeeping brightfuture family fun day, sponsored by Good Housekeeping, Unilever, Kelloggs and Nutriday, for you. And what an awesome day it really was – not to mention a day with a real purpose. I knew that Unilever BrightFuture is a global campaign that aims to amplify the efforts of a growing community of people who believe it is possible to build a world where everyone lives well and sustainably. I was also aware that this event was to create awareness around how we, as parents, as human beings, can help build a brighter future for future generations, but honestly, I was pleasantly surprised to realize just how green the theme really was.

In fact, right as you enter, you’re hit with some Continue reading →

Keeping Easter Traditions Alive

Posted on April 6, 2016 by mommabeartrax

I know what you’re probably thinking, “Easter? Still? Really?” That’s so last week right? So yes, it’s pretty much a distant memory for most, I understand, but here I am blogging about it anyhow. Then again judging from my feburary post of past, this may be a trend with me. Does it really matter, though? Because, honestly, post-holiday reflection is actually where its at! It holds so much promise of more sweetness to be wrung up from them. Yes, I live fully and deliberately in the moment, but I often feel like a lot of life’s sweetness lingers on in its after taste – looking back on the fine moments that life gifted you with. Probably, one of the many reasons I take far too many photographs.

Photographs, for me, keep those memories crystal clear. They act like an instant worm hole where Continue reading →
