Located in Fairview Pointe-Claire, AidenAston a locally grown business sits on the second floor in front of Ardene and Banana Republic. Venture inside and you will find not just the cutest and softest organic clothing and accessories for children but also other locally produced goodies without breaking the bank.
Founder and Designer Kelly Baik originally launched the company online in 2017, named after her two children Aiden and Aston.

“The day came when my daughter needed braces, we were referred to Dr. Nemes for her care. We knew it was going to be a big process as her teeth were a mess. We are a year into our treatment and we could not be happier. Dr. Nemes is so kind and explains the process clearly to us and to our daughter.

Well it started out as a regular Monday, until I received an email inviting me to attend a meet and greet with Howie D of the Backstreet Boys to discuss his new children’s album- Which one am I ? which debuts on July 12.
I thought a children’s album, how amazing is that. I quickly responded a yes and started my research on this new album.
So me and my family jumped in the car and headed to the Bell Center. They were going to drop me off and after the interview we were planning to hit up La Ronde . I entered the bell center with some true BSB fans awaiting Howie’s arrival.
We sat and listened attentively to Howie explain how this project came about. Having kids changes your whole perspective on life. When his son James was 5 it sparked something inside him and inspired to create this children’s album. Songs that children can relate to, dance and express who they are. It was also his way to sing about what he went through as a child – a mixed-race heritage youth and the things he had to deal with. The song “Monsters in my Head”, derived from a night when his son woke up after having bad dreams and he expressed to his dad ” I have these monsters in my head and I can’t get them out” something even us adults deal with on a daily basis.
We sat and listened to a couple of songs off the album and I gotta say I was blown away. When my daughter was little, we listed to a lot of children’s music and many were just stuck in our heads. But this cd is different. Along with being stuck in your head, you get the chance to dance and sing with your kids and can relate to each of the songs on the album. This album is turning into a musical called Howie D: Back in the Day. It will be debuting in early 2020 in Omaha Nebraska.
When the question period came, I raised my hand and asked:
” Have you considered writing children’s books to pair up with the cd?”
Anything is possible. This new album will bring up many new projects and take it in different directions. He is open to adding to this new part of his career.
We chatted some more about having kids, dealing with anxiety and this new venture in his career. He is a true inspiration and very humble. I cannot recommend this CD enough. The songs are relatable, catchy and you won’t feel guilty at all for playing it in the car even when the kids are not around. Order yours today!!!
A BIG shoutout to Howie and his generosity for inviting me to be a guest to the concert last night. I was able to take my daughter to her first BSB concert- 2nd concert for her. She was blown away and had the best time ever. So Thank you Howie D for making it a special night my daughter will never forget!!
