Our friends at Baby Gourmet have expanded their line-up to include FIVE new plant-based products:

💚Tropical Green Smoothie
💜Berry Coconut Smoothie
❤️Apple Sweet Potato Rusks (finger food)
💙Blueberry Spinach Acai Rusks (finger food)
💛Sweet Pea Rings (finger food)

We especially love the brand new Berry Coconut Smoothie. It’s made with 100% organic fruit and veggies and includes pea protein, avocado and coconut cream - important for baby’s growth and brain development.

And the new Rusks products are a melt-in-your-mouth, nutrient dense baby teether alternative, bursting with flavour.

Have you given them a try? We’d love to know what you think!

Now Available in Canada: New Activewear for Breastfeeding Moms | Mommy Connections 17/12/2019

Breastfeeding and active? You’ll want to read our review of KOJO, new nursing activewear that’s just launched in Canada. Our reviewer tested out their most popular style and loved it.

I prepared so much for my baby that I forgot to prepare for my own transformation 25/11/2019

"While I have struggled at times with being home so much, I can't remember the last time I felt permission to stay in sweatpants all day and watch Netflix at 3 pm. There is a grace in learning to surrender to the pace of the day (which can be frenzied and slow all in 10 minutes) with a newborn. There is a blessing in learning how to ask for help and how to say thank you to those that brought us delicious meals and big hugs and for those who text loving words. I am learning to see the gifts in slowing down, even if I sometimes resist it." via Motherly

I prepared so much for my baby that I forgot to prepare for my own transformation While I had gone through the motions of doing the preparations, what I hadn't done was say goodbye to my old life.

Hello! I'm Sonia Perhar; a daughter, a wife and most recently a new mom to my sweet baby boy Shaan.

Shaan was born in January on the coldest weekend and when we had a snow storm. I didn't leave the house for 3 weeks because there was a blizzard every other day. One of my friends introduced me to mommy connections and I absolutely loved it! Immediately after my first class I checked out the website to learn more about mommy connections and how I could be apart of this awesome program.

My husband and I have been married for 8 years. I love to travel, shop and teach/practice yoga.

Since becoming a mom I have learned to practice patience and to remain calm. Energy is everything! I love meeting new mom's and sharing experiences. This is an amazing journey and I am so grateful to be apart of motherhood.

We really hope that you can join our next mom & baby session starting on Nov 13th: https://www.mommyconnections.ca/peel/store/products/mom-baby-program-wednesdays/
