The January Guide To Wholesome Snacking

January 3, 2018 by Sarah McFrugalPants 1 Comment

I grew up as a “teacher kid”, which meant I went to the school where my mom taught. I was there before and after school every single day and often didn’t leave until 5 pm when mom finally called it a night. I can remember desperately scavenging in her classroom for food once the afternoon bell rang. … [Read more...]

Teaching My Kids Not To Swear Makes Me A F**king Hypocrite

May 29, 2017 by Erin Pepler 1 Comment

Words are powerful—we all know that. They have concrete definitions but carry different weight depending on usage. The F-word alone is a magically versatile tool that can be thrown into literally any sentence as a noun, adjective or verb. It can be combined with other words to create sweary … [Read more...]

Forget The Flowers: This Mother’s Day Is All About Self-Reflection

May 8, 2017 by Daniella English 28 Comments

Mother's Day. A day synonymous with macaroni necklaces, heart shaped pancakes and jewellery commercials that always make us tear up, swearing we just have allergies. However, the day's roots are purer than its present-day commercialized state may imply. Mother's Day originated in 1908 when Anna … [Read more...]

Fighting Tech With Tech: Practical Ways To Parent In The Digital Age

April 28, 2017 by Adryenn Ashley 9 Comments

Last week, my teenager spilled a milkshake on his MacBook Air and I’m convinced it was on purpose. You see, he’s been lobbying for a PC because my current ability to satellite parent requires the household to be on Apple, lest I will have to come up with different parental controls. Parenting … [Read more...]

April 4, 2017 by Alicia Dakins Leave a Comment

The Politics Of Buying My Kid Annoying Presents (Or Why On Earth Did You Get Her Drums?)

April 3, 2017 by Leslie Kennedy Leave a Comment

When my kids were little, we had gift rules. No, we didn’t give people a piece of paper with things they could and could not buy our kids. But if they inquired, my husband would say, "All I ask is nothing that can roll under the couch, nothing that has no on and off switch and nothing without volume … [Read more...]

Who Says You Can’t Engage Kids In Politics?

March 16, 2017 by Leslie Kennedy Leave a Comment

Small voices are sometimes the loudest. No, I'm not talking about the wailing of a baby or the howls of a distressed toddler. Let's just say that often, in the innocence of youth, there lies plenty of wisdom. A developer wants to put a giant medical building smack dab in the middle of the … [Read more...]

Thank God My Son Didn’t Get Into Daycare

March 3, 2017 by Leslie Kennedy 2 Comments

When I lost my job early last year, in the middle of the school year, I had to remove my then four and six-year-old from the YMCA after school program.

15 Things I Learned About Parenting From Star Wars

February 4, 2017 by Alison Tedford Leave a Comment

Raising kids can be an out of this world experience. It's sci-fi in that it seems to resemble real life, but before kids, you never imagined some of these situations could be possible. Also, you need tons of popcorn to get through it because there are a LOT of episodes. These are all the Star … [Read more...]
