Baby it’s getting cold outside.  It’s true… winter is upon us. While this typically means more time spent indoors, it doesn’t necessarily have to mean less fun.  Personally, I’m a big lover of the arts. I’d spend all day doing arts and crafts if I could.  Luckily, all three of my boys enjoy colouring and […]

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I’m not that great with math. Crazy to think since I have an undergraduate business degree, an MBA and I worked for one of the top accounting companies. Yet, here I am! It’s not that I don’t enjoy it, but there are some concepts that […]

My oldest son Kyle was lucky to be in a great class last year when he started Junior Kindergarten.  Not only did he have an amazing, attentive, caring and organized teacher, but he was placed in a small class consisting of only fifteen kids.
