Maybe the babysitter cancels. Or maybe you just don't feel comfortable leaving your little one just yet. But having some time alone is good for your soul. Well, my husband and I have become pros at the at-home date night so I've put together 10 ideas for you for after the baby goes to bed!

DIY At Home Date Night Ideas:

1. Pull out all your extra sheets and pillows and make a tent in your bedroom or living room, then curl up inside and watch a movie together. (Make some buttery popcorn or serve up your favorite on-hand snacks!)

2. Have one of you run to the store and pick up some fancy cheeses, some good chocolate, fruit, bread, and anything else you might like and have a fondue night! No phones allowed, just connecting with each other.

3. Pick a theme and run with it. Maybe your theme is 80′s? Put your hair up in a good side ponytail, rent your

10. Do you remember the show Full House? There was an episode where Rebecca found out she was pregnant and was trying to tell Uncle Jessie by making him a dinner full of "baby" things like baby back ribs, baby carrots, baby corn. I thought I would do something super fun and creative to let my partner know but when I found out all I could do was holler across the house in a (slight) panic for him to come and see. Either creative or slightly panicked, this is a good first step. HA!

When I found out I was pregnant for the first time, creating a eco-chic nursery wasn't on the forefront of my mind. But slowly, as the years have passed and my philosophies on both design (I'm an interior designer by higher education) and life changed, both my style and desire to live a more waste-less clean life has increased. So as time has crawled by, my husband and I have started taking baby steps to "green-up" the nursery a bit. Little by little, tiny changes for the better have taken place. And while we still have a ways to go, I think it's shaping up nicely. By Emily Elling

Old fashioned baby names are kind of a thing in my family. My daughters are Ingrid and Adair. I have nieces named Cora, Olive, Mary, Hilda, and Lucille. Some still find these old fashioned gems a little bit strange, but these names are actually on the rise!

When did YOUR baby start sleeping through the night?Waking up in the middle of the night to tend to a crying baby is both a normal part of parenting and one that most new parents can't wait to get past. As much as we love our babies, it's very hard to function when you're sleep-deprived! You may receive lots of advice for getting your baby to sleep through the night, but the fact of the matter is that every baby is different. You'll find that a) sleeping through the night can mean different things to different parents, and b) the age your baby starts sleeping through the night may differ from your friend's baby.

Earth Day (April 22) is celebrated around the world as a way to promote and encourage environmental protection. Here in Canada, the one day has turned into 30 days of awareness. For the entire month of April, families and individuals walk, feast and celebrate the planet we live in with their community, family and friends. These celebrations tend to make you reflect on your habits and although we strive to live as 'green' as possible there is always room for improvement.

As we know green living includes recycling, riding public transport as much as possible, reducing your plastic usage and eating as 'green' as you possibly can. Vegetable and fruit consumption is not only good for your body, it's good for the environment as it helps to combat climate change.

Whether you are celebrating Earth Day, Earth Week, Earth Month or are just looking for ways to sneak some extra fruits and veggies into meal-time, here are 25 vegetarian eats and treats that are oh-so-delicious and suitable for
