Just a few weeks ago, on a rainy Toronto day, my sons and I were at an indoor playground jumping in the bouncy castle. As my four year old son was about to come down the slide, a mother said to her son “Watch out, the little boy wants to come down.” Without flinching, my […]

I recently received a new set of children books that are launching in Canada by Twirl publishing.

It was evident that these children books were […]

Lucky for us, Kyle LOVES books. He can literally sit down for a full hour and listen to me read book after book. I actually read the entire page, no short-cuts, from start to end. If anything, I’m the one that has to ask him if it’s okay to stop reading books because I just […]

When Kyle was turning one I started reading toddler books. I knew that Toddler behaviour will probably be a challenge for us since a) John and I were both a hand-full when we were young and b) Kyle had that “wild”, rambunctious attitude about him as a baby. One of my favourite books was called Toddler ABC […]
