Please help me welcome my guest blogger, an old friend of mine. In fact, she was one of my first friends when I moved to Canada in 1989. My friend M is funny, sweet & smart. She’s also my new hero. With three kids under the age of 2, she and her husband have moved […]
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. […]
A day of Family Fun at Centerville Island Toronto
Summer might be over but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. The sun is shining so take advantage of the great weather and head with your family to Centre Island. The journey alone, the ferry boat ride, from the newly named Jack Layton Ferry Terminal in downtown Toronto, is so much fun. On […]
Playgro Activity Friends Review & Giveaway (Canada)
Ensuring your baby is stimulated is an important part of their development. As a parent, it’s our duty to ensure that our children are appropriately developing their tactile, gross motor & fine motor skills, through cognitive, auditory and visual stimulation. In short, we need to cultivate their sense of sight, touch, taste, smell and hearing. On […]
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 […]
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… […]
I guess my son is his own person after all…
As soon as a child is born,one of the first questions that everyone asks is “who does s/he look like?” When my oldest son, Kyle, was born, the answer was simple – John (my husband). We basically made a carbon copy of my husband in miniature form. However, the resemblance to family members doesn’t stop there. My […]
The Nursery Rhyme says what??
I’m sure most of us had our parents read us nursery rhymes when we were younger. Some of the rhymes we remember and some we forget. However, having a toddler and a newborn, we get to revisit our beloved nursery rhymes. Some are truly classics: I’m a little teapot short and stout, Here is my […]
My husband’s inappropriate use of grammar
I have a confession to make. I suck at writing. The thing is, I shouldn’t really be confessing to this since I’m a professional writer now (aka, stay at home mom with a blog). But, it’s true! My grammar is terrible, my spelling sucks (spell check and I are best friends in case you don’t […]
Is my second son an easier baby OR, is it me?
When I was pregnant with our second child, the most common declaration that my husband and I heard from other parents is that the biggest challenge of parenthood was going from one child to two. Even my sister-in-law who has FOUR kids said that this statement resonated with her. So we were prepared for the “worst”. However, […]
