Batteries Included: Make The Magic Of The Holidays Last All Year

December 22, 2015 by UrbanMoms Leave a Comment

Picture this. Your kids counted down the days. They opened each window on their advent calendars, as December ticked by, painstakingly slowly. They made their list and checked it twice (plus a few extra times, just to be sure). Now, Christmas morning has FINALLY arrived. Your kids run down the … [Read more...]

Have Yourself A Very 80s Christmas: 12 Toys We All Wanted As Kids

December 9, 2015 by Heather Dixon 1 Comment

Every year there seems to be that one toy. The toy that kids and parents go absolutely out of their minds to get, while the rest of the universe can’t figure out what the big deal is. This year it’s Hatchimals. A while back it was Tickle Me Elmo… I don’t really get it. However, the Cabbage Patch … [Read more...]

Join Rice Krispies In Making Treats For Toys!

November 6, 2014 by Sonya Leave a Comment

The first dusting of snow dropped last week so I was inspired to start planning the holidays. Yes, I said snow! It's early but secretly I've always loved the beauty of the first snow as long as I'm cozy indoors and curled up to a warm mug of coffee. Ask me again end of January. For my family, … [Read more...]

“Netflix For Lego” May Be The Solution To Your Cluttered Home

August 26, 2014 by Marianne Litman 1 Comment

Kids are very passionate about Lego: when they love it, they really, really love it. And while this often means hundreds of tiny, centimetre by centimetre pieces for you to potentially step on, it also means a lot of creative, education fun for your kids. (But really have you ever stepped on one of … [Read more...]

Why The Buzz And Fuss Over American Girl?

May 13, 2014 by Sonya 2 Comments

I had first heard about this line of dolls from a friend a few yeas ago on a business trip to Chicago. I can't exactly remember what year it was. What I do remember is that a mommy friend of mine was obsessing over a visit to the store to get a doll for her daughter. I accompanied her to the shop … [Read more...]

Top Five Toys for Your Holiday Shopping List

December 5, 2013 by Kath 1 Comment

Christmas is fast approaching and while some domestic divas have already completed all their holiday shopping, I know I'm not alone in admitting that I have yet to get up the nerve to brave the mall parking lots and (even worse) cash register lineups! Now, I'm not exactly the type to avoid a mall … [Read more...]

Girls Do This, Boys Do That

October 2, 2013 by Ryan 4 Comments

I have two boys, and I have lots of friends and family members who have girls, so there’s often an even representation at my house most days. I mention that because there is nothing better than watching and overhearing kids play together. From these play dates, I've noticed there are some subtle and … [Read more...]

Pick That Up

June 26, 2013 by Ryan 3 Comments

Have you ever thought about how much stuff you pick up in the course of a day? I never thought much about it; it's just something you do day in and day out. I guess cleaning up after your kids should come as no surprise. You don't hear too many kids suggesting they put away their dinner plate before … [Read more...]

Lost friend.

May 30, 2013 by Emily 3 Comments

He takes him everywhere. Squishy Lion was a gift from a friend of mine to the toddler when he was born. She wrote a book - two books, actually - and had returned from her most recent tour with a knit yellow lion who, as it turned out, was soft enough that a newborn's feeble hand could grasp it. … [Read more...]
