Family Channel's Big Summer Ticket Concert Series

The Perfect Family-Friendly Event #BigTicketSummer

Kids grow up quickly, and before you know it, they're graduating high school! As the Mom of a newly-minted tween, I'm feeling the crunch. She's still my little girl, but now she walks around with earphones on, and wants me to download her favourite songs. She's a huge music fan and I've been waiting for the perfect time to treat … [Read more...]

Social Media Etiquette & Safety For Kids

When I was a kid, the biggest etiquette issue my Mom had was teaching us to use "please" and "thank you" at the appropriate times.  Today, social media is everywhere and it's important to teach our kids the rules of online etiquette. Old-Fashioned Etiquette in Today's Social Media World It all seemed so simple back then, but when I stop and think … [Read more...]

Gifts For KIDS #GreatHolidayGiveaway

If I like something, I tell the world. In fact, that's one of the reasons I started my blog. And when I'm looking to buy stuff for my kids, I always ask other Moms. So, when it comes to holiday gift-giving, I thought it would be great to share all my mom friends' favourites with you! This year, I’ve teamed up with four of my bloggy friends - … [Read more...]

To The Dad Who Yelled At My Son…

My son is five... but you know that because you asked him how old he was when you yelled at him, right?  I’m sorry he grabbed a toy from your son, but I don't think that gives you - an adult - the right to act as impetuously as he did.  He made a bad choice… something five year olds are prone to doing.  And, while I'm all … [Read more...]

Land Your Helicopter!

Helicopter parents - I have a beef with you. It's the summer, so naturally I've been taking my kids to more activities, and I'm noticing that you often stay with your kids at events that are clearly meant for them to attend on their own. Case in point: my child went to a creative workshop at our local library tonight, and almost every parent … [Read more...]

Summer Break: Things To Do + Tips To Afford Them

Summer vacation. Those two little words are enough to strike fear into the hearts of even the most organized parents! According to a recent TD survey, 55% of Canadian parents with children under the age of 18 take on additional costs during the summer; in fact, 71% of them spend up to $999 per child. Whoa!!  The thought of filling eight … [Read more...]

Fisher-Price Little People: Timeless Classics {Giveaway}

When I was a kid, there were few toys that held my interest as long as the Fisher-Price Little People castle did. I fondly remember my sister and I playing with it for hours on end, the trap door and secret room being my favorite places to "hide" the characters. Fast-forward 30-odd years and my kids' favourite was the Little People farm. They … [Read more...]
