You Can’t Always Get What You Want

December 5, 2012 by Christine

The arrival of our annual visitor over the weekend had the kids scrambling to make lists for Tony to bring back to Santa (even the 11 year old). The 11 year old has only three things on his list. The item that made it into third place will likely be left under the tree for him by Santa, but the … [Read more...]

Do you tell the parents?

November 16, 2012 by Jen

When my kids were small and they had playdates with little friends there were times when things went sideways. When the other child's parent came to pick them up I had a choice to make. Do I tell Little Johnny's mom that he pinched/hit/spit/grabbed/yelled or do I smile and wave and thank heavens … [Read more...]

Stress is extremely stressful.

November 8, 2012 by Jen

I'm tired, dudes. DOG tired. Stress is keeping me awake and getting the best of me. Yes, I did this to myself but I am one of those people who craves a certain amount of stress. I thrive off of it. But there is a tipping point and I seem to be teetering on the edge. Or maybe I have already fallen … [Read more...]

And So They Grow.

November 2, 2012 by Jen

My kids are 9 1/2 and 13. It suddenly struck me the other day that neither of them qualify as "little" anymore. They are "big kids" now. I am now, solidly, the mother of a tween and a teen. My son is headed off to High School next year (gulp). Crazy. I have definitely entered a new phase of … [Read more...]

Clueless

October 10, 2012 by Christine

We know that raising kids doesn't come with a handbook. Raising kids with special needs? OY!  We're going through this blind. With no help. Cuyler is my heart but lately I have no clue what I'm doing with this kid. We are seeing behaviours I never thought we'd be dealing with. Aggression. … [Read more...]

Colour Me Pinned

October 8, 2012 by Kath

I've written about my tempestuous relationship with Facebook, and although I am on Twitter, I'll be the first to admit I rarely use it. It just goes way too fast for me to keep up with (and yes, I realize that just saying that makes me sound like I'm ninety-nine years old). I haven't yet found a … [Read more...]

Money Well Spent

October 3, 2012 by Jen

The last few weeks of summer were filled with summer fun. My sister was visiting so I had been attempting to cram in every possible experience to make sure that once back-to-school hit we could look back and reassure ourselves that we did everything we could to maximize this time. And in the … [Read more...]

Special Moments: The Evolution of The LISTERINE® SMART MOUTH KID

August 27, 2012 by Kath

"What have you been feeding your child?"These words - dripping with judgment - were uttered by my child's first dentist. My daughter was four years old and it was her first dental checkup. At the time, the prevailing wisdom from parenting books, magazines and even my family physician was that this … [Read more...]
