Since my son was born, I made it a yearly tradition to attend the One of a Kind Show in Toronto. However, after going year after year, I’ve been finding the show rather repetitive. I’ve only noticed a handful of new artisans and I’ve pretty much purchased everything that I’ve ever wanted to buy. That’s […]
My son weaned off the pacifier by himself
If you’ve been following my blog, you know that my oldest son is COMPLETELY obsessed with his pacifiers. He’s not even picky about which one he uses, he JUST NEEDS IT. In fact, he couldn’t do with just one. My son always had one in his mouth and another two in each of his hands. […]
My son potty trained himself
One of the most talked about topics when it comes to Toddlers is potty training. Some parents have even made it into a sport, competing (amongst themselves mostly I presume) to see whose kid potty trained first. Last summer, when my son was a few months shy of turning 2, I was in a NYC park talking to […]
Reebok’s Kids ATV19 Running Shoes; Are You Game for Anything? Review & Giveaway (Canada)
Good footwear is something that I strongly believe in when it comes to athletics. Comfort, durability, support and looks are all important features that I look for when picking shoes. So why should it be any different when it comes to my kids? In fact, proper footwear is very important for kids. That’s why I […]
Active for Life. The importance of physical literacy for kids
I don’t like to preach (much), but there’s some things that I am passionate about. One of those things is being active. I’m definitely not the most active person on the planet but I try to keep fit in one form or another. Whether it’s ensuring I go for decent walks daily, run-around with my children […]
Family Fun at The Ex, Canadian National Exhibit (CNE)
One (of the thousands) of benefits of having a child is getting to explore your city and the numerous events that take place throughout the year. Last year, while seeking an activity for my son and I, I attended The Ex, at the Canadian National Exhibit for the first time. Since I have such fond memories of that […]
Don’t worry…. no one else is getting mom of the year award either
So… in my “old” age and YEARS of experience as a mother (sarcasm), I have a few tidbits of sage motherhood advice to share with the rest of the world (or at least, those of you who follow my blog). But don’t believe or follow my advice because that’s against my advice (point #3). So… […]
It’s a Facebook Miracle!
For all the slack that Facebook receives, for all of the bad that it sometimes causes, there’s also a lot of good that comes from Facebook. Namely - reuniting with old friends and people from your past. I have three main types of friends on Facebook 1. My close friends that I see and speak to on a […]
The five day progression of toddler separation anxiety
Two weeks ago I did the unthinkable… I dropped my son off at a day-camp and I DIDN’T STAY! (Yes, I’m shuddering at the horror too). My son Kyle is almost three years old and will be starting nursery school in September. I figured I better get him ready for “mommy isn’t staying with me?” situation and signed […]
Introduce your kids to farm animals in the city. Our trip to Riverdale Farm
With membership passes to the Zoo, Wonderland & science centre, I almost always forget to enjoy some of the FREE stuff the city of Toronto has to offer families. One of those places includes the Riverdale Farm, only 2.5 km away from my house. Last week I was feeling ambitious enough to walk there with my […]
