Making the Most of Maternity Leave in HRM

I am not one to stay home. Ask my aunt and uncle who have a running joke that I must be sick if they don't see my car leave at some point throughout the day. Even on maternity leave, I frequently left the house on a daily basis, it's just how I roll. So, if you're wanting to get out of the house with your new baby, here are my top suggestions Parent and Tot Swims or Lessons. I am pretty confident every public pool around has these, so choose the one that works for you. Sackville Sports Stadium has a play and splash program where there's a playgroup in a multipurpose room and then a parent tot swim, and it's FREE.

Easter Egg Hunt Done The Easy Way

We 💚 the outdoor Vegetorium Egg Hunt for Fruit. Egg hunts are my favorite part of Easter! Our Easter bunny color codes the eggs that she hides so that neither kid gets more then the other and so there is no fighting. Lets be honest, Mom and Dad haven't usually had a full cup of coffee by the time the hunt starts, so the easier it can go, the better for everyone. The color coding also makes egg fillers easier because the bunny can be more specific on the items that go in the eggs. Labelled Baskets from @Poppyjeandesigns to make the colour coding easier!  This Mom and Dad also don't want the kids to have 10 chocolate eggs for breakfast so we are very fortunate that our bunny fills our eggs with other items such as: hair elastics golf tees socks Nerf darts tattoos  stamps stickers nail polish nail stickers head bands sweat bands mini bath bombs glow sticks underwear lip chap floss bracelets small craft kits chalk coloring sheets The Bunny sti
