If you've been a part of our community whatsapp, you’ve probably been in on this hot tip already… because our moms’ have been spreading the word like wildfire! And if you missed it, we’re here to bring you up to speed.

Breastfeeding can be magical… but it can also be a real challenge. Mastitis, blocked ducts, nipple pain… any of it can make you feel like you’re barely keeping your head above water.

Here’s the good news: there’s a gentle, non-invasive way to help your body heal and ease the discomfort.

Jenna Dorman was a Vancouver mother. After the birth of her second son, she struggled with postpartum depression that escalated into a severe mental health crisis. She died in late 2024. Her death was preventable. And the people who loved her refused to let that be the end of her story.

As many of you know, I’m a big advocate of incorporating movement into your postpartum recovery when you feel the time is right. Getting my body moving vastly improved my mental health postpartum… those happy hormones are legit! That’s why any time a new class for moms pops up - I have to share. And Westside mamas… this ones for you.

The good news is, that Vancouver’s Hot Chocolate Festival is probably theeeee perfect postpartum activity: cosy, low pressure, and a small moment of absolute delight. So consider this your nudge to reach out to that mom you just connected with and invite her along. Worst case: great solo hot chocolate. Best case: a blossoming new friendship.

Owner Jess recently announced they’re pausing U.S. shipping - not just because of tariffs, but because they don’t want their dollars funding a government that doesn’t align with their values. Bold move. Which means now’s a pretty great time for us Canadians (and especially Vancouver moms) to show up for a local, mom-run brand that’s walking the talk and making clothes that actually make sense…

The last thing any parent needs is more stuff taking over the living room (Hello, Vancouver shoebox-life!). It is Just. So. Overwhelming. Experience gifts are really the way to go.

Those tiny clothes hold entire chapters of our early motherhood era, and let’s be honest, get put aside waaaay too quickly. So when we discovered Leni’s Bears, we knew this was something our community needed to know about.

If you're a mama-to-be or new parent in Vancouver, you might have received the dreaded advice of starting the daycare search… yesterday!

I mean, it’s a silly question really. Aren’t we all tired of packing lunches!?

This summer, carve out simple, nourishing moments that help you build a little sanctuary of calm, fun, and connection. With baby, but also with yourself. Because it’s about time we did something that we want to do…

Babywearing has allowed me to stay connected—to my children, to my routines and to my community.

A whole 48 hours of no snack requests, no tantrums, and no dishes? And it get’s better... hot coffee, cold plunges, space and time to just BREATHE FOR A SECOND… and all while surrounded by nature? This is Mom Camp.

One day, these images will be the treasures your kids pull out to remember what home felt like. And you’ll be so glad you said yes to preserving your real, honest, magical story.

When babies go through clothing and grow out of their car seat faster than you can say “Four month sleep regression”, it’s hard to know what to do with ALL… THAT… STUFF.

Miscarriage is a deeply personal and painful experience, and it's okay to feel a whirlwind of emotions - grief, confusion, anger, or even numbness.

What we really want? A moment to breathe. A chance to feel like ourselves again. And maybe - just maybe - a break from being touched, needed, or yelled at for handing over the “wrong” color cup.

Let’s be honest—after what your body has been through in the last nine months, working out is either the last thing you want to do… or you can’t bloody wait to build your strength up again.

If the thought of a full night’s sleep, a hot meal (where you can actually register how it tastes), and a little bit of quiet time makes you feel all giddy inside, it’s time for a solo staycation (cough mothers day gift cough).

A good prenatal class will help you feel more prepared, knowledgeable, and confident for the big day—and beyond.
