Daddy's Girl - Blue Ivy

How adorable are these pics of Jay Z and his daughter, Blue Ivy? 

After a night of partying with wifey, Beyonce, at the White House for the First Lady's 50th birthday, Mr. Carter decided to head to an Italian restaurant with his family in Brooklyn, NY. We aren't lucky enough to see baby Blue's cute face, as she was bundled up in her winter gear and wrapped in a cozy blanket. I just can't get over how cute he is with her. No matter what you think of this rapper, you can't deny he has a ton of love for his baby girl. 

Let's not forget to mention mama B, who was not too far behind, looking fashionable even in NYC's frigid temperature. I love her bag!

These pics get me a little more excited to see the rapper in concert on Friday at the Bell Centre. I hope Queen B makes a surprise appearance. Hey, a girl can dream, ha! 

Red Carpet Mom – Tina Fey

Funny mom Tina Fey had a very special date to the SAG Awards last Saturday Night. She was proud to have her beautiful 8 year old daughter Alice Zenobia Richmond by her side as they walked the red carpet in coordinating mother-daughter ensembles. Tina wore a black Oscar de la Renta dress with her daughter in a classy, age-appropriate dress with a black lace top and white pleated skirt paired with a matching clutch.

Much like her mom, Tina’s Mini-Me was not at all camera shy - posing for photos and waving to the camera as they zoomed in on her mom to announce the nominations for best female actor in a comedy series.

We love that she shared this special event with her daughter. What a great mommy and me moment!

Beauty and the Bronco

In a series of steamy shots for GQ‘s February, 2014 issue, Denver Bronco wide receiver Eric Decker and his country singer wife, Jessie James get playful and intimate around their home in a photoshoot by photographer Ben Watts.

While the sexy dad-to-be models the season’s hottest denim and shows off his impressive six-pack, we still can’t keep our eyes off Jessie’s beautiful baby bump! She is working that pregnancy glow, posing in nothing but a bra and underwear! But with their very own reality show, Eric & Jessie: Game On exposing their private lives to the public is nothing new for this hot couple! They pride themselves on being able to show the world the ins and outs of a functional married couple.

“Before we agreed, it was really important for us to clarify: If you’re looking for drama or couples fighting, you’re signing on with the wrong people,” James said, “We wanted it to be more like a romantic comedy.”

Until the start of the 2nd season of Eric & Jessie: Game On, and the birth of their daughter, due in March, you can catch Eric on the field tomorrow (Jan 19th) in the conference championships against the New England Patriots, fighting for a spot in Superbowl XLVIII.

Fashion Friday – Peter Pilotto x Target

One of the best things about finally having Target in Montreal (and Canada in general) is their amazing designer collaborations. There is nothing like finally getting an affordable fashion piece from one of your favourite designers! 

Target’s latest partnership is with London-based label, Peter Pilotto who is known for their bright bold patterns and colorful prints. Celebrity fans of the label include some of the most fashion-forward ladies in Hollywood right now (as you can see in our Golden Globes Fashion Round Up) including our faves, Lupita Nyong’o, Cate Blanchett, Kerry Washington and Emma Watson.

Fortunately, the exclusive capsule collection for Target boasts the label’s signature style by combining hyper-real digital prints with modern shapes and design in striking blues and greens as well as warm reds and oranges. The combination creates the perfect statement making pieces for Spring!

“Our brand is about print, yes, but it’s also about the emotional feeling you can get from colour and colour combinations.”

The limited-edition range features nearly 70 pieces, retailing from $14.99 to $79.99 for apparel and swimwear and $16.99 to $39.99 for accessories. Yup, that’s right! For only $80 or less, you don’t have to empty your wallet to own one of these amazing pieces. Perfect for a mom on a budget!

I don’t know about you, but we are so ready to take off these bulky winter coats and start sprucing up our wardrobes with new spring fashions. If you are too, you’ll have to act fast because this exclusive Peter Pilotto collection is only available February 9, 2014 through March 26, 2014, or while supplies last at most Target stores across Canada.

Trendy Tuesday - Trampoline Fitness

As you know, one of our New Year’s Resolutions for 2014 is to live a healthier lifestyle, and beyond eating right, that includes exercise! In my opinion, the best way to stay active (besides running after our kids) is to participate in a fun fitness program. The more fun it is, the more likely you are to stick to it! That’s why I’m loving this new Trampoline Fitness trend.

The first time I heard of this was while I was watching the Kardashians. (Yes, I have no shame, I love to Keep Up with the Kardashians!) In Kim’s baby shower episode that aired at the end of September, Kourtney and Khloe went for a fitness class at Sky Zone – an indoor trampoline park. I immediately texted Yussie and said that it looked like so much fun and that we would totally have to do it one day.

So, I searched online to see if this existed in Montreal, but the closest Sky Zones were in Ontario. Luckily just a few weeks later, low and behold, I read about Isaute on Facebook - a brand new trampoline park in Laval. In fact, Isaute is the first extreme indoor trampoline facility in all of Québec, with plans to expand and open other locations throughout the greater Montreal area. (yay!)

Of course we had to give it a try, so during the holiday vacation we went together, with our familes to check it out! Let me tell you, it really was as amazing as it looks! We felt like children again, the babies loved the foam pit, our 3 year old boys could not get enough and I’m pretty certain the men had the most fun, showing off their stunt jumps and slam dunks. See for yourself, and you be the judge! (Me & my fam on the left and Yussie & her fam on the right)

Excuse how utterly insane we look, but hey! You don't really care about that when you're having that much fun! lol

Jumping really gets your heart rate going, and it’s so fun, you don’t even realize you’re exercising! (no matter how out of breath you may be) Fortunately, within the next month or two (Feb/March), Isaute will be offering fitness classes at their facilities! Trampoline aerobics anyone? Count us in! Check out their website or facebook page for updates!

If you can’t make it out to Laval, but still want to jump on this trend, check your local gyms for rebounding classes. Rebounding is an ultra-low-impact, full-body form of exercise which consists of bouncing up and down on a mini trampoline. Studio Reboundfit in Montreal  is the first fitness studio in Montreal to offer this revolutionary form of exercise. Not only is it super fun, it has tons of health benefits including weight management, strengthening of the immune system, stimulating your metabolism and more! 

Even if you can’t make it out to a jump park or the gym, you can still enjoy this fun fitness trend from home with a personal mini trampoline and fitness dvd which you can find at Urban Rebounding Canada. You can even get the kids to enjoy exercising with these Urban Rebounding Kids DVDs from amazon.ca or simply jump on together for some regular freestyle fun!

Aren't we all looking for that perfect workout that will leave us wanting more? No matter which way you decide to do it, the key element to this fabulous new fitness trend is FUN! Best of all, it’s not just for you but the ENTIRE family can enjoy it together.

With this hot trend on the rise, keep a lookout for even more classes and fitness centres offering trampoline fitness fun around you!

So what do you think? Are you ready to Jump on this new fitness trend and watch the weight bounce off?
