Spy Versus Spy: How I Keep My Son On His Toes

February 17, 2016 by Alison Tedford 3 Comments

My child is adorable but incredibly devious. He's clever, sneaky and I never see his brilliance coming. I've come to expect the unexpected raising him, and my life has been enriched for it. He's a secret agent of sass; for that and many other reasons, I love him. Take a couple weeks ago, for … [Read more...]

Raising An Eight-Year-Old Boy With A Smile

January 13, 2016 by Alison Tedford 1 Comment

My kid keeps me in stitches. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life as I have since I became a mom. This is why they are so awesome. Eight-year-olds are like sponges for information. Sometimes you need someone around who will give you a billion random facts about bamboo sharks but who … [Read more...]

The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree

May 6, 2015 by Alison Tedford 2 Comments

I was told my child was sarcastic and difficult on a particularly tired day at daycare. It didn't take a lot of insight to realize where that came from, just a long, hard look in the mirror. Of course, that required a conversation because he needed to understand what it's like to be that way all the … [Read more...]

The Importance Of Reading, Writing And Arithmetics

April 22, 2015 by Alison Tedford 11 Comments

While I am a fan of the arts and sports, I believe in the basics and have tried to instill a love of them into my son. Reading, writing and arithmetic are things I live for in a geeky way and I wanted to share that weird love with him. He has been somewhat reluctant—until recently that … [Read more...]

The Perks Of Being A Newly Single Mom

April 10, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

One of the things I love about being a single mom is the bond I’ve formed with my kids. Sometimes it feels like it’s just me and them in the world. They know I will always be there for them and protect them. I’m the one they count on to take them to school, pack loving notes in their lunch and take … [Read more...]

Good Boy

April 28, 2011 by Tracey

As I always do, this morning I watched my son walk from our door to our neighbour's house a few doors down - she drives him to school along with her two children each morning. This favour is possibly the BEST thing that's happened to me this year - it saved me walking my kid to school in the snow, … [Read more...]
