Being a parent in Canada is confusing. Between EI, maternity leave, CCB, RESPs, and the mountain of paperwork nobody warns you about — I found myself piecing it together from a dozen different government websites while running on three hours of sleep.

So I started writing it all down. Not as legal advice, not as a lecture — just as one Canadian mom sharing exactly what I learned, with real numbers, real receipts, and zero fluff.

I'm a finance professional by background, which means I care a lot about getting the numbers right. But I'm also just a mom on maternity leave, figuring out solids, sleep regressions, and everything in between — same as you.

This page, this whole site, exists so that being a new parent in Canada feels a little less overwhelming, and a little more decoded.
