Mommy Time Out

Mommy Time Out

Hi! I'm Angela Hickman and I'm a Milton mom to a beautiful girl and I am currently pregnant with my second child, who we have found out is a boy! I love being a mom and my wish is to one day be a stay at home. It's tough being a full time employee, mom to a highly energetic toddler and wife to a wonderful husband. There isn't much time for a Mommy Time Out but I always try to find a little time. I love to shop and find new things that help make life easier and sometimes even more fun. My blog is all about the joys and frustrations of being a mom and hopefully helping otherparents find products that will help make their life easier.

Crissie's Corner

Crissie

I am a 30-something Stay at Home Mother to my trouble making toddler Emma (AKA Dilemma) and a wife to my wonderful husband Bohdan. I am an artist, writer, and the queen of multi-tasking. Family is the most important thing for me and mine is truly the reason I wake up everyday. I was born and raised in Toronto into my boisterous Italian family and I continue to this day in the traditions I was taught, homemade wine, cured sausages, jarred tomatoes and so many others. I have embraced my husband and his Ukrainian roots as my own. (I must say I have learned to make a mean patychky and a delectable borsht.) I want to beat my infertility a second time, maybe even a third. I think life is precious, and aim to enjoy every single moment of it, even on my worst days of Dilemma supernova meltdown, tantrums, cold and projectile vomit I remember what a blessing it is to have her as my daughter.

Baby Bottom Line

Lisa

My name is Lisa... and I am a shop-a-holic. I figured I may as well put that out there right away...so you know what your getting yourself into when you read my blogs. I love Mommy sites, product testing, freebies and dishing about them with other Moms! I am a mother to a preemie princess born in March 09'..7 weeks early and that was 3lbs 2oz at birth. She is my Sweet Pea... my love. The one person I continually wonder how I lived without for so many years. She constantly amazes me. Oh, and my husband, dog and cat aren't too bad either ;) I am the one person that if you don't want a truthful answer...don't ask me the question. Yes, I will tell you...you look fat in that dress, no..those shoes don't go well with that belt...or don't bother buying that baby product because you'll never use it! Trust me, sometimes you just need a truthful answer, hear that someone else has gone through the same thing or just someone to talk and connect with for support. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here to dish about it! Thanks for listening! Lisa

Mom of 8 Crazy Monkeys

Mom of 8 Crazy Monkeys

The difference between this and a circus is that circuses run with a sense of order. Chantel Kowdrysh loves her children, all eight of her noisy, crazy, joyous, running about screaming, pushing, fighting, ADHD child, and developmentally issued children. It doesn’t matter if they are enjoying the hell of shopping together, the nightmarish adventure of traveling anywhere together, the insanity of school mornings or the quiet tenderness of a few moments between mother and child. She’s determined to make it work, or go even more insane trying. Chantel spends what quiet time she can get writing for the magazine Mississauga Kids, and various parenting web sites. If she cannot be found at her laptop sipping a Wildberry, then she can be found behind the wheel of her 15 seater van, with a Timmies triple, triple. A former Canadian National Gymnast, she traded in her six pack abs for an 8 pack of kids and now she is looking for the keg. Check out her blog at momof8crazymonkeys.com

Hello I’m Patty. I just turned 40 in February and I am on a journey to get in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I am married to an amazing man who still after 11 year of marriage and a total of 13 years together I am still so in love with. We have four children, three girls and a boy not in that order who keep us on our toes. I am a work at home mom currently a sales rep for two very different companies. One is a premier direct sales company and the other is an eco-friendly company trying hard to make a difference one little step at a time. It is a challenge to work from home and manage this chaotic family but I love it and I get to be with the kids and see their many daily adventures. I also started to blog this past September and I love it. One of the things I say a lot is that I love my life and where I am in it. I think it’s something we should all strive for.
