"Liz was wonderful to work with. She asked So many questions and really got to know our family before she came up with a plan to help our two year settle back into a sleep Routine after travelling at Christmas threw a wrench into her routine ( and ours). Liz was professional, kind and sympathetic. Would highly recommend working with her!"

📢 Ontario parents… September is coming!

Early alarms, packed lunches, and the “WHERE ARE YOUR SHOES?!” mornings are right around the corner.

If summer bedtimes have been all over the place, here’s how to make the back-to-school sleep shift easier ⬇️

3 Quick Tips:

1️⃣ Move bedtime earlier – Shift it by 15 minutes every few nights to avoid the “but it’s still light out” drama.

2️⃣ Set a wake-up time – Yes, even on weekends. It helps reset their body clock before school starts.

3️⃣ Wind-down routine – Think baths, books, and calm chats (not cartwheels) before bed.

✨ Do it now and your September mornings will run a lot smoother.

🚸 Pandemic babies… starting school?!
September is coming fast — but it’s not too late to help your little one feel ready.

I’m sharing 5 playful, game-style ways to practice skills at home so your mornings go smoother and your child walks into class ready to go.

It’s prime family vacation season and I’ve had a few clients reach out asking how to manage their little one’s sleep when crossing time zones ✈️😴

If you’re heading east or west this summer, here are 3 gentle and supportive ways to ease the transition:

⏱ Shift bedtime slowly before you go (15–30 mins/day)

🌞 Use daylight, meals, and familiar routines to help adjust to local time

🧸 Bring comforting items from home like white noise, a sleep sack, or a favorite lovey

Your child’s internal clock might take a few days to catch up and that’s okay. A little flexibility and a whole lot of grace go a long way 💛

When it’s hotter than your toddler’s bedtime protest… sleep takes a hit. ☀️😅

Whether you’re at a cottage with no AC or your unit at home just gave up, here’s how to keep your kiddo cool(ish) and sleeping:

🌀 Use fans + blackout curtains (DIY AC = fan + bowl of ice)

👕 Light PJs or just a diaper ➡️ less is more

💧 Offer water during the day (but not right before bed unless you love 3 a.m. potty breaks)

🛁 Cool bath before bed = temp drop + sleepy vibes

You can’t control the heat, but you can outsmart it. You’ve got this, and if not, I’ve got you 💛

🚫 Tired of hearing all the wrong things about baby sleep?

“You’re spoiling her.”
“Keep him up later.”
“She doesn’t need a nap anymore.”
“You just have to survive.”

Let’s be real. Sleep advice is everywhere, but not all of it is helpful (or even safe). It’s no wonder so many parents feel confused, frustrated, and exhausted.

💤 The truth? Sleep isn’t one size fits all. You can support healthy sleep without harsh methods or second guessing yourself every step of the way.

If you’re ready for real, evidence based support that actually works, I’m here. Reach out anytime. I’d love to help your family rest easier.🌙

What sleep support really looks like…

It’s not just tips over Zoom
It’s not strict rules or schedules that ignore your instincts
It’s hands-on heart-led and rooted in what your baby actually needs — in real life

This is me swaddling a newborn in a family’s home
Sometimes the biggest difference is having someone beside you showing you how and reminding you you’re doing better than you think

If you’re in the Ottawa area and nights feel overwhelming I’m here
📩 DM me “overnight” and I’ll share how in-home support works #infantsleep #stittsvillemoms #kanatamoms #barrhavenmoms #ManotickVillage #glebeottawa #manotickbusiness #pediatricsleepconsultant #growingwithhope #babysleep #momlife #tiredparents #canadianmoms #ottawamoms #ottawaparents #ottawa #westboro #theglebe #kanata #barrhaven #manotick #rockcliffe #carp #almonte #carletonplace #stittsville #greely #ottawabusinesswomen #ottawafamilies #postpartumcanada

✨ The 3AM Club ✨

If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 3AM, wondering what you’re doing wrong while desperately willing your baby to sleep… I want you to know something:

You’re not alone. I've been there too. And you’re not doing anything wrong.

Middle-of-the-night wake-ups are exhausting. You’re tired, touched out, and second-guessing everything. But your baby’s sleep struggles are not a reflection of your effort or love.

Sometimes all it takes is the right support, a few tweaks, and someone to remind you that this doesn’t have to be your forever.

💛 I’m here to help.

📩 DM me if you’re ready to feel confident and rested again, in real life, not just on paper.

I come to you.

Pajamas on, dishes in the sink, a baby who just won’t settle, I’ve been there. That’s exactly why I offer in-home support.

Because real help should meet you right where you're at, not just through a screen, but sitting beside you, guiding you, supporting you.

Nap struggles?

You’re not doing anything wrong, sometimes the sleep environment just needs a little tweaking. 🌙✨

Think blackout curtains, white noise, cozy (but not too warm) pajamas, and a clutter-free sleep space.

These small changes can make big differences in how long your little one naps and how restful those naps are.

You don’t have to figure this all out on your own. I’d love to help. 💛

Send me a DM if you’d like personalized support, in your home or virtually!

It’s 8:52 PM.

Teeth brushed. Books read. Lights low.
And now your toddler is sprinting across the couch on their “ninja mission.” 😵‍💫

You’re not alone in asking:

“Why is bedtime suddenly a disaster?”

I’ve been there.

As a parent, I know what it’s like to do everything right and still feel like bedtime has turned into a nightly battle.

You’re touched out, tired, and trying so hard to keep your cool. 💛

But summer changes everything.
☀️ Late sunsets
🍭 Extra treats
🌊 Busy days
🧠 Big emotions in tiny bodies

Even great sleepers can hit a rough patch and that doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

As a pediatric sleep consultant, I’ve supported many families through exactly this season.
The chaos is fixable and it doesn’t mean starting from scratch.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to shift things, I’m here to help.

✨ DM me “BEDTIME TIPS” and I’ll send over a few quick, supportive pointers to bring the calm back to your evenings, without the power struggle (or the guilt).

And if you’re ready for more than just tips, I’d love to walk alongside you with a customized plan that actually works for your family.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

You’re not stuck. You’re just in a pattern.

And that’s actually good news—because patterns can be changed.

Whether it’s:

🌀 Rocking for every nap
🌀 Sitting on the floor until they fall asleep
🌀 Saying “okay, last one” again and again

It’s not too late to shift.
You don’t need to wait for desperation to start fresh.

With the right support, you can gently move toward better boundaries, more rest, and less guilt.

You’re a good parent. You’re allowed to grow, too. 💜

🧨 SURVIVED CANADA DAY? READ THIS BEFORE YOU NAP💥

You might be:

Running on ketchup chips and regret

Hiding from your toddler’s kazoo in a blackout curtain fort

Googling “how to remove temporary tattoos from face”

Wondering why you need a nap more than the baby

Same.

But here’s the thing: even if you let bedtime slide for fireworks and poutine...
The sleep debt is real, and guess who’s not sleeping in to pay it off? (Hint: it’s not your kid.)

So if you woke up today like it’s a hangover without the fun… and your kid has been doing Olympic-level jumping since 6:07am…

✨Let this be your friendly reminder: it’s not too late to reset sleep and reclaim your evenings.✨
Even after a long weekend sugar-high and a backyard sparkler show.

👇Comment “RECOVERY MODE” and I’ll send you my fave post-holiday sleep tips.
(Or just come cry in the DMs. That’s fine too. We’re all in this together.)

With the school year wrapping up (or already done for some!), it’s hitting me—we’ve got a September kindergartener to get ready! 😳🎒

As a former educator, I know her amazing teachers will support her… but I also know what it’s like managing 25 tiny humans who all need help with their shoes at once. So this summer, we’re focusing on:

✅ Opening lunch containers
✅ Dressing herself (inside-out socks and all)
✅ Advocating kindly with peers (“please stop licking me” is a good start)
✅ Labelling everything before it disappears into the Lost & Found abyss

Let’s be honest though—who are we kidding? We’ve been prepping since toddlerhood. This is just the icing on the readiness cake. 🍰✏️

Huge shoutout to her amazing daycare provider and the forest school teachers at @wildchild.natureproject who’ve given her such a strong start. We’re so lucky to have had you in her corner. 💛

School’s Out & So Is the Routine 😅

Late nights, travel, and no set schedule? Summer fun can throw sleep off track — and that’s okay! Here are a few tips to keep sleep (somewhat) on track:

🕰 Stick to wake/bedtimes within an hour of normal when you can

📚 Keep a simple bedtime routine, even if it’s later

✈️ Bring familiar sleep cues when you travel

💤 Don’t stress the off days — routine can always be rebuilt

✨ Happy Father’s Day! ✨

Today I’m feeling especially grateful for the amazing men who support our families — starting with my husband and father to Ryder and Hope, Cody (of @paradisehomeimprovements), who is always there behind the scenes, making my work possible, supporting and chasing our dreams, and being an incredible Dad too.

I’m also holding deep gratitude for the example my own dad set of what it means to be a father. Even though he’s no longer here, his steady love and guidance continue to shape how I show up for others every day.

It’s a true privilege to work with such incredible fathers and parents — thank you for trusting me to walk alongside your journey.

To all the dads out there — you matter, more than you know. 💙

✨ What if sleep training didn’t mean strict rules?

So many families worry that sleep training means strict rules, inflexible schedules, and saying no to anything spontaneous. But the truth?

It’s not about perfection—it’s about predictability.

It’s about building a rhythm that gives your baby better sleep and gives you room to breathe, live, and enjoy your days.

If you’ve been avoiding sleep training because it felt too rigid… this is your sign that it doesn’t have to be that way. 💛

Today looked like this: Cody off pricing jobs, Hope helping plant our garden, and me hopping on a midday client call to support a tired family.

This is the beauty of building something for yourself — it’s not always easy, but it’s ours.

🌱 A garden planted.
📞 A baby settling into sleep.
🛠️ A renovation in the works.

All in a day’s work — and all done with love.

To all the self-employed parents juggling business and babies: I see you. 💛

Just got back from the most incredible adventure with my girl 💫

From magical memories to animal encounters, water slides to fireworks—we soaked up every second. I’m beyond thankful that my work allows me to support amazing families and show my daughter the world along the way.

Even sleep-trained kids need a little support getting back on track after a trip (yes, even mine 🙃), so tonight we’re diving headfirst back into routine. Buckle up—it’s bedtime reset time over here. Wish us luck! 💕

Today was full of fancy and exciting adventures — from swimming and sliding to spotting Disney magic around every corner ✨ And now? She’s declaring this dessert the best thing ever 😆🍨 A perfect end to a magical day.

Hope’s love for animals grew just a little bit this weekend. 🐮💛

In her rain boots and pj pants, on the way home from the cottage, we stopped to visit some of our dearest friends—and she got to meet a real cow up close.

It wasn’t a big-ticket outing or a fancy plan. Just a quiet field, people who love her, and a moment she’ll remember.

Connection is built in these small, meaningful pockets of time. Not always in packed schedules or flashy days out—but in everyday moments, slow mornings, and people who see your child for exactly who they are.

You don’t have to do it all. Just be there for the small moments. That’s where the magic lives. ✨

This is the heart of my work as a parent coach and sleep consultant—helping families find more ease, more connection, and more peace in the everyday. Because when we focus on what truly matters, everything else feels a little lighter.

Yesterday, Hope got her very first haircut—and yes, I totally cried. 🥹✂️

It was extra special because it was done by a dear friend we love so much, and somehow… she walked away looking older than she did that morning 😭

Milestones like these are so full of emotion.

A little pride.
A little heartache.
A whole lot of love.

As a parent coach and sleep consultant, I see this all the time—those big little moments that mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

The last feed.
The first night in their own bed.
The bedtime you didn’t need to stay beside them.

It’s okay to feel both joy and grief as they grow. That’s not just normal—it’s love.

One of my favorite bedtime tips? Get outside.

Even just 20–30 minutes of fresh air after dinner can work wonders for sleep.

Here’s why outdoor time before bed is so powerful:
• It helps regulate your child’s circadian rhythm (that internal clock that tells them when it’s time to sleep)
• Natural evening light signals the body to start producing melatonin — the sleepy hormone
• It helps burn off that last bit of energy from the day
• It’s a peaceful, screen-free way to wind down
• It creates a natural bridge between the busy day and a calm bedtime routine

So if bedtime’s been a bit bumpy lately, try a walk, some chalk drawings, or just watching the sky change together.

Outside first, PJs second.
You might be surprised how much easier sleep becomes.

Need help creating a bedtime routine that works? I’ve got you — reach out anytime.

One of the greatest privileges of this work is getting to support moms in some of the most tender, challenging, and beautiful seasons of their lives. I don’t take that lightly.

Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for letting me walk beside you.

You are doing an amazing job.

Friday night movie night around here means cozy cuddles, popcorn (or let’s be honest—whatever snack she picked out), and a short film that wraps up before 7pm. After a long day and no nap, we keep bedtime on track and avoid the overtired chaos.

It’s a little tradition that brings us together—and still keeps our sleep routine in check.

What are your favorite traditions with your kids? Share them below—I’m always looking for sweet new ideas 😍

What I see vs what you see (toddler edition):

You: “She’s clearly not tired — she’s jumping around like it’s a toddler rave in there!”

Me: “That’s her way of winding down. Her body is releasing energy so her brain can get ready for rest.”

Toddlers often look like they’re fighting sleep — jumping, rolling, whining — but this is actually part of how many kids transition into rest. It doesn’t always look peaceful… until it suddenly is.

If your little one is bouncing one minute and fussing the next, they might be closer to sleep than you think.

Hang tight, stay consistent, and trust the process.

Do you have a wild crib-jumper at bedtime? Tell me what your toddler’s pre-sleep chaos looks like! Want some support? Send me a DM 😊

Let’s be honest—I say I sometimes sneak in educational content with Hope… but we all know it’s more like all the time. One of the incredible perks of being self-employed is getting to spend more time together and soaking in sweet moments like this one—laughing, learning, and just being present.

What’s your favorite thing to do with your kids when you get that magical extra time together?

Not quite sick, not quite better — just stuck in that “in-between” zone.

When my daughter’s on the road to recovery but not well enough for daycare, we shift into a slower rhythm:

→ A little fresh air to reset

→ Connection time (she picks — baking and science experiments are the current favs)

→ Lots of rest and a little screen time to help her body heal

→ We aim for a nap at nap time, but don’t stress if it doesn’t happen — quiet rest still counts

These days aren’t always easy, but they’re a chance to follow her lead, offer comfort, and stay close.

To the parents in the thick of spring viral season… I see you. You’re doing an amazing job.

☀️HELLOOOO SPRING!

If you are anywhere near me in Ontario you are thrilled it finally showed up — and are here for it. Longer days, sunnier skies, and maybe… just maybe… no more snow pants?! 🙌

But guess who else LOVES the sunshine (even if they’re not saying much yet)?
🍼 Your newborn!

That golden daylight isn’t just for good vibes — it actually helps kickstart your baby’s circadian rhythm (aka: their internal body clock that tells them when it’s time to sleep… and when it’s time to stop throwing a party at 3 a.m. 🥴).

Here’s how to use that spring sunshine to help your baby sleep better:

🌞 Get outside in the morning light (bonus if it’s a stroller walk!)
🏡 Keep things bright and lively during the day while they’re awake — open those blinds wide!
🌘 Keep lights dim and the environment calm for naps and nighttime — think blackout curtains, sound machines, and a chill vibe.

The sun’s doing some of the sleep coaching for you — let it help!

Need a little extra guidance?

Day 2. Four months old. Asleep on his own in six minutes.

This family is doing the work, and it’s paying off—even virtually.

One of the perks of being self-employed? I get to get camera-ready for the newborn foundations course I’m recording this week—on my terms.

That means I’m starting with a little self-care: nails and brows by my sweet friend Mayara (who’s wildly talented), plus some much-needed catch-up time with her and her husband.

Bonus? I get to hear updates on their sweet daughter, who I had the joy of supporting through sleep struggles not too long ago.

Running your own business is hard work—but moments like this remind me why I love it so much.

Hope is officially starting kindergarten this fall! We had her kinder intake last night and wow—I was so proud of her. Watching her walk into that big school with confidence (and just the right amount of nerves) was such a reminder of how fast these early years fly by.

If your little one is starting school soon and you’re wondering how to help them feel ready—emotionally, socially, or even with routines—I’d love to support you. School readiness is more than just letters and numbers. Let’s chat about ways to make that transition smooth for everyone.

Whether your family is celebrating Easter, Eid, Passover—or just enjoying some well-earned spring fun—this weekend often comes with extra excitement… and extra sugar.

If your little one seems wired or bedtime feels off, sugar could be part of the puzzle. It can delay melatonin, spike energy, and cause restless sleep.

Sleep tips for sugar-filled days:
• Enjoy treats earlier in the day
• Pair sweets with protein or healthy fats
• Stick to your calming bedtime routine
• Offer lots of water

A little planning can help keep sleep (mostly) on track—even during the sweetest celebrations.

Wishing a joyful weekend to all the families celebrating this season—whether it’s Easter, Passover, Eid, or just a bit of long-awaited sunshine.

This year, we kept our Easter egg hunt simple at home—stickers, tiny dollar store treasures, and lots of giggles. We’ll save the chocolate egg hunt for the family farm later.

Hope is a bit on the reactive side when it comes to sugar, so this felt like the right balance for us—and the bonus? It was fun and budget-friendly.

Just a little reminder that you can make meaningful memories in ways that truly work for your family. No rules—just love, laughter, and a bit of creativity.

From our home to yours, happy weekend!

Watching our daughter measure, hammer, and build alongside dad isn’t just adorable—it’s powerful. Kids love to learn through doing, especially when it involves real-life skills.

Teaching children practical skills in a safe, supportive setting builds more than just projects—it builds confidence, patience, resilience, and independence.

Whether it’s learning to use a screwdriver, helping make dinner, or just shadowing you while you work, you’re laying the foundation for lifelong learning and self-worth.

She might be a carpenter in the making—but more importantly, she’s learning that she’s capable.

What’s one real-life skill your child loves practicing with you?

My lovely client had this to say about working with me 🥰 - “ As a tired parent, Liz has really helped me with the anxiety that comes with having a baby who is not a naturally great sleeper. Liz has never made me feel judged for asking many questions and about reaching out a lot. I can tell she really cares about the both parent and child involved.

Liz has helped me transition baby from a SNOO bassinet into a crib, helped me with sleep schedules, and also with sleep training. I don’t think I would have been able to be so consistent with sleep training if it wasn’t for her support. Many doubts and second guessing have been eased and I feel much more confident about baby sleep in general.

Thank you! “ #ottawamoms #sleephelp #ManotickVillage #glebeottawa #momlife #sleepconsultant #manotickbusiness #canadianmoms #parentlife #ottawafamilies #pediatricsleepconsultant #carletonplace #northvancouverparents #westboroottawa #CanadianMomLife #vancouverparents #ottawavalley #babysleephelp #ottawaparents #ottawaparents
