20 Comments

I was reading a great article over at Urban Moms written by Erin Little entitled Raising Sophie & Fiona. The article discusses Erin’s take on parenting with regards to discipline in particular.

Erin’s specific belief is that rewards don’t work and that they are short term fix. She also believes that people should … Continue reading →

As a holiday adventure, my family and I had the priviledge of going to see Disney on Ice presents 100 Years of Magic this past weekend in Toronto at the Rogers Center.Disney characters and artwork ©Disney, Disney/Pixar characters ©Disney/Pixar. We surprised the kids by not telling them where we were going, which always makes for a super special and exciting time. As we got closer to the venue, the kids continued to make their guesses as to where we were going and what we were doing. As we entered Rogers Center and the kids saw all of the signs that … Continue reading →
