Not on my sons’ time!

by

Originally, I was going to name this post “I finally have 2 jobs that I love, yet neither one of them pays”, but recently, I came to a different realization.

by

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 […]

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 […]
