Bringing Families Together Through Food

March 14, 2018 by Leslie Kennedy 16 Comments

It’s always been my goal to eat dinner together as a family, but our busy lives have gotten in the way. My husband gets home late. My kids are picky. It’s just been easier to feed them before my husband gets home and prepare a more elaborate meal for him and me to eat later. March is Nutrition … [Read more...]

In My Family, In-Law Is Not A Dirty Word

January 4, 2018 by Leslie Kennedy 2 Comments

My parents moved to Canada from the United States before I was born. I grew up with my parents and my brother, and my next closest relative was a 10-hour drive away. It was just us. One sibling, no extended family to speak of. I don’t know what it would have been like to grow up surrounded by … [Read more...]

How The Simplest Of Days Proved I’m Not Screwing This Parenting Thing Up

January 2, 2018 by Leslie Kennedy 1 Comment

Today was one of the best days of my life. Nothing significant happened. I didn’t get the job of my dreams or win the lottery or find a twenty on the sidewalk. It snowed last night. The first real snow of the season and the whole way to school, the kids threw snow in the air like it was the … [Read more...]

5 Tips For Surviving The Winter With A Smile On Your Face

December 13, 2017 by UrbanMoms 1 Comment

As Canadians, you would think we’d be used to winter by now. But every year, as the colder months roll around, we fall into the same old trap; denial (maybe it won’t go below zero this year?), anger (why can’t we feel our goddamn faces?) and eventually a kind-of-acceptance (it’s fine, we just … [Read more...]

You might think you already hit the jackpot—you have a healthy and (for the most part) happy family. That’s right—you created those funny, curious, and inspiring little nuggets.

Don’t Be The Mom That’s Never In The Photos

September 14, 2017 by Scarlett Ballantyne 1 Comment

Over the past several years, I have tried to book a family photo shoot at least once, sometimes twice a year. Getting my family coordinated, on a day when there are no other activities, and when everyone is cheerful and the weather is cooperating, can be a challenge. Despite my intentions, sometimes … [Read more...]

University Applications Are Due: How Much Do We Help Our Teens?

March 23, 2017 by Scarlett Ballantyne 1 Comment

I have never considered myself a helicopter parent. I am fairly strict with the things that I allow my kids to do, but I also let them figure some things out and make mistakes. However, when it comes to University applications, I don't know if there is much room for error. My daughter is taking … [Read more...]

How To Survive March Break When You’re Staying In Town With Teens

March 9, 2017 by Scarlett Ballantyne Leave a Comment

March Break is meant to break up the school year—and Canadian winters—by giving students a week-long, or in some provinces, two-week-long break during the school semester. While this is a great time for a sunny holiday or getaway, for many families, travelling during this time of year just isn't … [Read more...]

The Tipping Point: Going From Two Kids To Three

March 6, 2017 by Heather Dixon Leave a Comment

In general, no matter how many children you have, parents tend to think that having one less child is SO easy. If you have two kids, you start to wonder how you ever thought one was difficult. When you have three little ones, going out with two kids suddenly seems like a total breeze. Four or … [Read more...]

Now That I’m a Parent, I Finally Appreciate My Siblings

February 20, 2017 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

I’d like to tell you that my family is crazy, but that’s hardly headline news. Whose family isn’t? But in mine there seems to be more drama than in most. In fact, one day I might write a book about it. As just an example, my grandmother calls us non-stop to talk about the same subject on … [Read more...]
