set of six 'the adventures of broughton bear' books by susan atkinson

Join Broughton Bear and his good friend Toby as they explore the forests and lakes that surrounds their simple log cabin home, and help your children discover new plants and wildlife and other wonders of nature. The Adventures of Broughton Bear are written by local author Susan Atkinson, who lives and writes in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Susan was inspired to write by her three children -- and now looks to her three grandchildren for inspiration. This set of six autographed books are a child-friendly size, and each book includes a new adventure in the natural world. Also includes a delicious recipe for homemade fun for the whole family.

mamalove/dadalove toddler t-shirt by kate inglis, leigh steele & jeanette leblanc

"Even though I’m starting to come out of the fog now, two days later, I still struggle with what to say. So I whisper the same thing I whispered to Evan during fitful nights: mama love, mama love, mama love.

As we are able to see more baby and less machine we talk to them about skipping rocks in frog ponds, and finding treasures on beaches, and about a big brother who will teach them all kinds of tricks."

~ from sweet | salty

Upon the birth of my twins, the beautiful and soulful Leigh Steele of Meremortal sent me two of the tiniest onesies I'd ever seen, imprinted with first thing I could think of to speak to my babies as they lay in stasis in the NICU.

Since then it's come to mean so much more than an utterance during trauma. Parenthood is not wholly difficult and angsty, nor wholly easy and cheerful. But the common denominator is love. Steadfast, cheerio-crunching, snot-wiping, floor-tussling love.

Choose either mamalove or dadalove toddler t-shirt in the size and colour you prefer.
