Kid’s Food Tasting Party Encourages Healthy Eating
What do you do when you have a hard time getting your children to eat their veggies? Here’s a fun idea that worked like a charm on my children, who range in age from four to ten years old. We threw a “food tasting party”.
A Mother’s Guilt
No mother wants it….but every mother has it in some way or another. So the question remains “how do we overcome mother’s guilt?”. It’s not an easy solution and anyone who says they have found the perfect solution should immediately book themselves on the Oprah Winfrey Show because the entire world needs to know what [...]
The play date scene – making friends through our kids
When I was younger I envisioned an only child as living a life of illuminated, jewel speckled cocooned joy. Having to share a room and everything else with my brother painted a very imaginative picture of the other side of sibling throughout the get-off-it’s-mine years.
But as the now mother of a wonderful only child, I [...]
The Holiday Conversation You Should Have with Your Kids
The first big pre-holidays Toys “R” Us flier came out this week, and my kids wasted no time in cutting out pictures and pasting them on their Christmas wish lists.
When I remark on the cost of a couple of their wishes (“wow, that Lego is $170”), their response is “I want that one to come [...]
Are your spending habits rubbing off on your kids?

Bath Time Fun
What is my favourite time with my children you ask? Is it when my 2 year old son asks for “Choo Choo peeese” to watch Thomas the Train?….which by the way is a whole other Blog topic, 2 Year Old’s and TV watching…gasp! No my favorite time with my children is definitely bath time. Bath [...]
The Things You Don’t Think Matter…Do For Your Kids!
With a rambunctious five year old and a bubbly “Energizer Bunny” two year old running around the household every day just catching a breath is a feat unto itself. I sometimes take for granted and underestimate the influence that the role of Dad has on these little precious souls. Dad has a unique role, he’s [...]
Eco Friendly Toy Packaging
As a parent of two small children, I find myself pontificating about things I never have before. Where my life formerly centered around friends, Friday nights and shopping, I now think more about the environment, my children’s health and how to get milk gob off of my clothes.
This leads into my pet peeve of the [...]
