We leave tomorrow for a family vacation to Keats Island. I have never been there before, nor have we taken an actual family holiday since we had kids. Travel FAIL. Call me crazy, but the idea of packing up diapers, playpens, bottles, strollers, pureed bananas and paying, like, $7,000 for our three … [Read more...]
Teaching The Importance Of Giving
There are so many lessons that I think are critical to share with children, but one of the most important teachings, that weaves itself through so many aspects of our lives, is the importance of philanthropy. Imparting the spirit of giving is valuable for so many reasons. First of all, it curbs … [Read more...]
Happy Father’s Day Will’s Donor!
It's another Father's Day and like I planned from the start, here is my yearly update to you.

Father’s Day Gifts For The Hard-To-Buy-For Dad
Let's face it, Father's Day is not as easy as Mother's Day. Dads are quite content chillaxing on a quiet afternoon but we all still want to honour the dads in our lives anyway, right? I've been keeping tabs on some neat things that you may want to consider for this upcoming Father's … [Read more...]
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly Of Sickness
It's 7 at night. I'm in bed. Fresh sheets and a bath. My mom always said nothing makes you feel better than that combo and she was right. We've had a crappy couple months in the sick department. Nothing tragic or serious but just a constant trail. I had the flu/laryngitis before Jamaica. Will … [Read more...]
Mother’s Day
Handmade cards and gifts, Eggs Benny by the lake, smiling children. There was also whining, a missing kid at the restaurant for a few panicked minutes, a black eye and the Virus That Does Not End that had me and Steve and half the kids still feeling wiped out and coughing every ten … [Read more...]
The Thrill Of The (Easter Egg) Hunt!
The night before Easter Sunday my little guy has this tradition. He sets his Easter basket next to his bed and makes sure the Lego pieces and toy cars are all put away – you know, so the that Easter Bunny doesn't hurt his paws. But just like the magic of Santa, he tells his older brother "if you … [Read more...]

We're counting down to Earth Day on April 22nd! There are numerous things that kids and families can do to celebrate and appreciate our planet. Schools have designated "clean up the community" days and the roof top garden at my son's school will be getting a bit of a sprucing up as well. Here's … [Read more...]
REVIEW: Philips AirFryer “Frying” The Better Way
Fries are my weakness. Yes. I admit it. If I see poutine on a menu I'll most likely gravitate (and levitate) to that first. I'm not kidding. But it's a treat... yeah, yeah. But we don't eat too much fried food in our family. We avoid it since we all know that the fats and such aren't good for us in … [Read more...]
Exploring the TIFF Kids digiPlaySpace!
Technology is a bold world where most kids embrace jumping in with two feet. I'm always amazed how quickly kids adapt and move with the times. Even my little 3 year old nephew can challenge me at the best of games. Technology is exciting especially through the eyes of kids! The TIFF digiPlaySpace … [Read more...]
