Comfortable, Cozy, & Convertible – The Medley Baby Carrier

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Lesley | 0 Comments

Before I had Athena, I thought that all baby carriers were the same. I also was completely naive about how often I’d use a carrier. Babies spend a lot of time in the stroller, crib, and swing, right? Why do I need a good carrier? Well… a little over a year in and I totally understand. Let me just say for the…

It’s a Joovy Birthday

Posted on March 2, 2013 by Lesley | 7 Comments

Athena is going to be 1 on April 2nd! I can’t believe it! It’s truly amazing how quickly time flies by. It seems like yesterday that I was starting to worry about giving birth and now she’s walking, talking, and eating table foods. I am a mother! How the heck did that even happen? (This is a rhetorical question; please don’t…

Your Back Will Thank You: Britax Baby Carrier

Posted on February 12, 2013 by Lesley | 1 Comments

We’re on the go a lot! We love to travel; we love to visit new cities almost weekly; we love to explore with Athena at our side or… on our front or back. I bought a cheap chest carrier to use with Athena and I thought it really wouldn’t make a difference. How uncomfortable could a carrier be? How much…

Westcomb – Worth the Splurge!

Posted on January 29, 2013 by Lesley | 2 Comments

We actually had several days with ice and snow in North Carolina. After living in Laguna Hills, California for the last two years, I thought ice and snow were a thing of the past. I was warned that it was going to happen. I know, I know; I’m Canadian. Suck it up. I lived in -60°C weather during two years…

New Motivation – Biking & Detours

Posted on January 3, 2013 by Lesley | 1 Comments

One of my 2013 Bucket List items is to continue exercising at least three times a week. As a new mom and a busy traveler it can be difficult to find the time to hit the gym but I’m consciously trying to make the effort, which is why I added it to this year’s list. I’ve always completed all the…

The Axiom of Jackets – Outdoor Research

Posted on December 19, 2012 by Darren | 6 Comments

Featured writer: Darren Carter To say I’m a “gear junkie” is an understatement. I love progress and truly appreciate advancements in technology, regardless of the medium. I also love fresh air, being “present” in wilderness, and enjoy a great hike. It centers me. It might sound odd, but the scent of rotting leaves is one of the best scents I…

Give the Gift of Time this Christmas: Mitch Albom’s The Time Keeper

Posted on December 17, 2012 by Lesley | 6 Comments

Before I created Bucket List Publications, I was a high school English teacher for 8 years and a university student for 7 years before that; my life was littered with books, reading, and writing. I cherished the daily reading time that was built into my class schedule and I loved going to class to discuss a book, new or old….

What’s in Your Cup? Bodum’s Bistro Burr Grinder

I had no idea that coffee is actually good for you, within moderation, of course, like anything else. After watching a medical show a few days ago, I learned that coffee has several health benefits. Benefits of drinking coffee: 1. Coffee slashes your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 2. Coffee can counter cancerous cell damage. 3. Coffee may lower your…

No More Excuses: November 25th Comes Early

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Lesley | 1 Comments

November 25th! Depending on which way I look at it, it’s extremely close or extremely far way. I leave for Fiji in 32 days! Fiji is a dream location; blessed with 333 magnificent islands, some inhabited, most not, Fiji is a tropical paradise. White sandy beaches, swaying coconut trees, pristine oceanfront, and a range of things to do and see…

Losing the Baby 60: Attitude, Clothing & Trail Running Shoes

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Lesley | 2 Comments

During my pregnancy, I gained 61 pounds! Most people, usually ones that haven’t had children, will shake their head in awe at that number. I did myself. When I read Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy, during my first trimester, I was wide-eyed to read that Jenny McCarthy, a celebrity, gained 60 pounds during her pregnancy. I judged her and…
