Life Lessons and an Unwilling 6-year-old

May 21, 2009 by Jen

Since my mom became ill things have changed a lot around our house. I've been spending more and more time and TONS of emotional energy on her care. Arranging playdates for my kids so that I can take my mom to chemo, missing soccer games and dinners at home, attending doctors appointments and … [Read more...]

Fun comes in Different Packages

May 19, 2009 by amreen

I used to be a planner.  "Brunch, of course!"  "Dinner, oh yes!", "Coffee, why not?" I miss getting dressed up and going out and about, exploring the latest hottest resto or cafe.  The reality is, however, that I'm just too tired.  Three little ones keep me on my toes, and … [Read more...]

Does Your Child Have a Learning Disability?

May 16, 2009 by Rob

Is your child struggling in school, or perhaps in one or two specific subjects or areas? While there can be many reasons for this, one reason many children fail to achieve good grades in school is the existence of an undiagnosed learning disability. WHAT IS A LD? Learning disabilities come in many … [Read more...]

The Big Four-Oh

May 15, 2009 by Kath

Yup, that's right. I'm celebrating my fortieth birthday this weekend (actually, it's right smack on Victoria Day this year). As I face this milestone, I find myself actually looking forward to it. Time was when a woman would claim to be '38 forever', but I think we should all feel that 40 is an age … [Read more...]

Kids Who Compete

May 11, 2009 by Jen

I was a total non-athlete as a kid. I was a bit overweight and a lot lazy. Plus, I was intimidated by the thought of competition - basically I was afraid to look stupid in front of my friends. I especially hated Track & Field and Cross Country. I was so jealous of the kids who ran fast or jumped … [Read more...]

Definitely in the Genes…

May 7, 2009 by Kath

In my family, I tend to be the creative one...you know, the one who's into crafts and baking, knitting and sewing; sometimes even sketching or painting. My sisters' hobbies definitely don't wander to the crafty, and although my Mom once made me a lovely painted piggy-bank at a ceramics class, and … [Read more...]

Boundaries

May 4, 2009 by Jen

I'm going through a transition. Well, multiple actually but I'm referring to a particular parenting shift with my son. This, of course, has not happened over night. In fact it has been happening in subtle ways since he was born. But it has now reached a point where I have to make some major … [Read more...]

Of Sunshine and Good Company and Anjali Mudra

May 1, 2009 by Kath

I'm here visiting my parents at their home in the idyllic setting of Ontario's Georgian Triangle. I'm here to help them out as much as I can (making meals, cleaning up, driving to hospital) but I'm also here to refresh myself. To step away from my own life and take a few weeks to get rooted again, … [Read more...]

Tips to Support Struggling Learners

May 1, 2009 by Rob

As a parent you hate to see your kids struggle--be it physically, emotionally, or academically. Luckily for them (and you) most of these times are likely short lived and your children soon forget. But what if struggle has become part of their daily lives .. especially at school? This month I'd like … [Read more...]

We Are 3 Strong

April 29, 2009 by Jen

I often talk about my closeness to my mother and how much I value my friends. However, two of the most important relationships in my life are the ones I have with my sisters. I have always known this. Even in those tough teen years when my elder sister was "the good one" and I was trying out the … [Read more...]
