Pick of the Week

Each Friday one of the Oh Baby! Team members will be posting their favourite thing from the week, whether it's a photo, story or a link, to add a little sunshine to your lives.

This Friday I'd like to share with you the cover of our latest print issue. It's our last issue of 2013 and I just love how cute this little girl looks in her warm wooly hat. It's been a really great year for us and I'm really happy with the colours on this cover. Special thanks to Sarah from Sweet Grace Lifestyle Photography for providing the image. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Sandy  

It's time to start harvesting all of the tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, broccoli, beans, fennel and eggplant in our organic garden. ~Nick    

My extended family got together last night. We enjoyed a lovely outdoor dinner and great conversation. My cousin's baby, the newest little addition to the family, was passed around. She is only a few months old but so loved by all of her older cousins. She has really rocked our family in the best...

I think this is awesome. The breastfeeding project: extreme breastfeeding photos.                             * Talk about motivation to hold your plank!!! What do you think? ~ Sandy P.S. We love this. *Image found here.

My brother (or as I call him bruva), his wife and my two nephews have been visiting from the UK for the last few weeks. We've been spending time on the swings, playing with cardboard boxes and last Saturday we all went to Centre Island. Plus our two kids are getting to know their little cousins. ~ Nick     Do you have any visitors this summer?

I spent the holiday weekend with my family at the cottage. We've been going to the cottage since I was about 5. It is the place that all of my stresses disappear and I unplug. It is my happy place. ~ Steph     What is your happy place?

I just had to do this side by side of the first day of school pic next to the last day of school pic.     I can't believe how grown up they look... My son will be going into grade three next year and my daughter will be a senior kindergartener. Cue the mini violins: time flies. Even though on this last day of school their clothes are a little too small and their sneakers a little bit battered — they are happy...

My niece finished high school this week. *sniffles* I can't believe that she is 18! I remember when she was born. I remember changing her diaper. I remember when she started talking. Now she's a full grown woman. She DRIVES. She has a job. She is intelligent and beautiful and kind. I am old but I am oh so proud of her.   A one year old Tatyana next to 18 year old Tatyana at her prom.  She grew up so fast, and my...

My favourite thing that happened this week? Finding this in my son’s homework book:     My heart bursts when I see him reading, but when he actually writes something like this and then doesn’t show me and I find it by accident? Love. Pure love. ~ Sandy What touched your heart this week?
