We've had another busy year here at This West Coast Mommy! This July, we celebrated five years of blogging. Wow! If you'd told me back in 2013 that we'd be where we are now (or that we'd even still be here), I don't think I would have believed you...
When my oldest daughter was born nine years ago, we were one of the only babywearing families I knew. Over the last few years, in my area at least, I've seen a big increase in moms (and dads!) babywearing, but I haven't noticed a corresponding rise...
Everyone loves pizza! We don't love all the extra calories and carbs though, and for those of us with food allergies or intolerances, traditional pizza crust just may not be an option. Fortunately, we have options! Especially at this time of year...
In our continuing efforts to reduce waste, we're always on the lookout for new reusable options. Sometimes though, the old standbys are the best. For example, reusable stacked containers are traditionally used in much of Asia to carry meals to...

With three locations in Vancouver and one in downtown Victoria, Kaboodles Toy Store has been the Neighbourhood Toy Store since 1980. From traditional classics to the downright zany, each toy, game, and puzzle is carefully selected based on quality...
Omaïki isn't just diapers anymore! We all know and love Omaïki's cloth diapers, but did you know they also carry a complete range of reusable, sustainable, zero waste products for mom, baby, family, and your home? As we near the end of 2018, I hope...
I can't lie to you. I spend a lot of time online. Between surfing, shopping, banking, social media, streaming, email, and blogging, that's a lot of time. I love the convenience of being able to do so much online, but I don't love all the malware and...
It's back! Limeapple’s 12 Days of Christmas from December 1-12 is their most anticipated event of the year. From comfy legging sets and cozy blankets, to minky hoodies and the softest bubble onesies, this is your best chance to pick up gifts for all...
