HB is a foodie, just like his mama. And just like his mama, he loves Asian food. Ok, so he’s not yet come around to accepting dumplings but I’m sure he will… We had our most recent foodie adventure at Kanada-Ya, where they’ve just launched a new kids menu and had invited us down to…
ADVENTURES OF HUNGRY BEAR
What to pack in your hospital bag
