I'm a big fan of cereal. Not only can it be the perfect breakfast meal (any meal that my kids can assemble, consume and clean up is perfect in my book...the fact that it's at all nutritional is a bonus), but it's also great for lunch, after school snack and the ideal antidote to the popular "but I'm … [Read more...]
Old Dog, New Tricks
Winter is tough on skin. Even my kids with their pliable skin are complaining about dryness, scratchiness and static. It kind of wreaks havoc on my old less young epidermis. It used to be that I'd pass on the pitches to sample products aimed at "aging" skin. "Ha!" I'd scoff, "maybe when I'm forty." … [Read more...]

I'm the one who downloads them onto the computer, spends time editing, selecting favourites for screensavers, prints, photobooks, and … [Read more...]
A Winner from Santa…and Maybe for You!
There are very few gifts that Santa can bring that will satisfy all three of my kids. Quite often poor Santa is left scrambling to find something for the tween boy who is sports crazy, something else for my 10 year old son who likes the coolest gear and games, and another something for my 6 year old … [Read more...]

Gifts for Teacher
If, like me, you're spending a lot of time making your list and checking it twice, please don't forget the teachers. Our children's teachers; the unsung heroes who we entrust to instruct, develop and shape our children during most of the hours that they're not with us. Isn't that worth more than the … [Read more...]
