About Me Born in Sri Lanka raised in Dubai, Bahrain, Pakistan, U.S, Australia and England, I now find myself settled in Toronto. Passions include entertaining, fashion, wine, dining, cooking, cocktailing, travelling, hunting for random fun events in the city and now… exploring all things baby related. Our goal is to encourage young families to maintain the pre baby life, post baby. Having dined out and traveled to over 17 cities in 6 countries since the little one was born a year and a half ago, we encourage you to travel and enjoy the culinary offerings in your own city!

First Brush with the Emergency Room

First Brush with the Emergency Room We’d managed to spend the first 19 months of the Little Monkey’s life without the need for a doctor’s visit but that changed last week. Sure we’ve been going to the pediatrician and even had a check up when we were travelling with her in India, but not the emergency kind. Last Tuesday evening she got super cranky and started crying but I just dismissed it as being overly tired. Wednesday she was a bit fussy...

Eating out with baby – Darvish Persian Restaurant

Eating out with baby – Darvish Persian Restaurant Persian food has always been a favourite but it’s not something that enters our daily repertoire  as much as I’d like to. Instead I tend to save it for special occasions as a treat. Not that Persian food is expensive, instead I find that there are some cuisines that just take up the level of poshness and the novelty itself brings about an air of sophistication. Persian food sits in my bag of tricks that I pull out when...

Mother’s Day and Mariposa Cruise

Mother’s Day and Mariposa Cruise As you know for us it’s any excuse to be outdoors doing unique things so this year when we were invited to spend Mother’s Day on Mariposa’s special Mother’s Day Brunch Cruise, we were ready in a flash! The Little Monkey, along with the hubs, my bro and my mom accompanied me on board the lovely Captain Matthew Flinders. The weather was not on our side according to the forecast so we ensured that we arranged to...

Fashion Friday | It’s hot. It’s cold

Fashion Friday | It’s hot. It’s cold With the random weather we’ve been having everyone’s been confused on how to dress and what to wear. Looks like the Little Monkey is just as confused as the rest of us! It’s sunny and hot one moment and then it’s windy and you’re freezing. Layering works best for both mom and baby!                   Hello Kitty Winter Hat   Sea Blue Children’s Place...

Tips and Tricks of Dining out with a Toddler

Tips and Tricks of Dining out with a Toddler We dine out fairly often and the Little Monkey tags along with us, it’s just one of the luxuries of living downtown and having friends visit often. Her first restaurant visit was when she was 15 days old and yes we did hit up an all you can eat spot because I was craving my Sushi! Over the last 19 months she’s dined out in over 17 cities around the world, from hole in the walls to buffets to swanky hot spots, she’s...

Sushi Making for the Soul

Sushi Making for the Soul Many who know us, know that we LOVE Sushi! From all you can eat to al la carte affairs we’re at it any chance we get. I’ve been lucky that the hubs also makes pretty good Sushi for us at home. Oh and when I say Sushi, I guess I really mean Maki because the rolls are our favourites. And Sashimi. MMMmmmm. You may recall a couple months back we visited Yakitori Bar and loved the baby friendly vibe. Owner Sang Kim had a...

Toronto Wing Festival 2013

Toronto Wing Festival 2013 Couple weeks ago I gave a shout out to the Toronto Wing Festival and the day finally arrived when we were able to stuff ourselves on wings. I barely ate much during the day and totally prepped myself for some major wing-ing. Unfortunately the weather was crappy with rain showers just as we stepped out, but that didn’t keep wing fans at bay because the place was quite packed when we got there around 6ish. Packed but not...
