Summer is almost here. Yay!! The artwork and school projects are coming home from the classrooms in a steady stream. And the countdown is on. I know it's a time for camps and sleeping in. A time for late nights and endless splashing around in the sprinklers but I'm still incorporating some (just … [Read more...]
kids really do say the darndest things
First off I’d like to say that I am very happy to be part of the Canaccord Genuity Great Camp Adventure on Saturday, September 28th in support of SickKids. This is a terrific event, and a wonderful idea. My family and I, along with Q107’s evening host Dominik Diamond and his family, will join many … [Read more...]
Biker Chick
Oh, this girl. So determined, so easily frustrated, so fierce. She just taught herself to ride a two-wheeler bike and there's no stopping her now. … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – June 6th, 2013
Nothing beats stripes in the summertime - especially in this mix of pinks, orange, yellow, and hits of purple and blue. Throw a cardigan on top on cooler days *ahem, June!* and pair with sandals, sneakers, or flip-flops, but even bare feet will do. It's easy machine-wash cotton, which wears well … [Read more...]
The Finishers
This weekend our two older girls ran their first road race. It was 5.4 km and they both ran the whole time. Avelyn came sprinting across the finish line like a gazelle. Then I saw Steve round the last corner, holding Karenna's hand. I could see from a distance that her face was grimaced in … [Read more...]
If Only…
We got the dreaded letter from the school this week, the one that warns about a child in my daughter's classroom having been hit with a case of headlice. Gah. I wish that the above were mandatory for kids: vintage swim caps! Wear them all day long to keep the lice away! So Spring … [Read more...]
All’s Whale That Ends Whale
This winter I borrowed a copy of "Free Willy" from the library, thinking my two older girls would like it. They were basically unimpressed by it, but Brinley, our little two year-old nugget, became OBSESSED with it. She would ask to watch it thrice daily, she would jump up and down with joy whenever … [Read more...]
Wipe Out
One thing that amazes me about my wife is how many wipes she uses to clean up our 2 year old. I swear she can do the job in one, maybe two wipes. I tend to do the job in eight to ten. I don't know how she does it. She uses every square inch of that thing, and I go through them like they're … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 23rd, 2013
As the winter was ending, a neighbour-lady of mine gave me a bag with a few things for Madame, as her own daughter had outgrown the stuff. She often saves me some excellent duds, like these pants. LOVE, I tell you. So when I opened the bag, I confess, at first I thought this lined raincoat was a … [Read more...]
Keeping Your Family Safe…Online
"Look both ways before you cross the street." "Never accept a ride from a stranger." "If you're home alone, never open the door." These are the lessons that were passed on to us to keep us safe as children, and no doubt we're passing these same tidbits on to our kids. But growing up, we didn't … [Read more...]
