Don’t Miss Your Chance to Win a Sands Alive! Kit and a Michaels Gift Card!

Michaels Gift Card Giveaway

What are your favourite arts, crafts and activities to do with your children? What arts and crafts can your children do independently? In my opinion, it is important to provide your children with a mix of activities including ones that they can do independently and ones that require adult assistance. It is fun to do arts and crafts with your children, but it is also important for children to learn the skill of independence in order to gain confidence in their own creative skills. Have you ever heard of the debate between process versus product? Back when I was in … Continue reading

Bathroom Routine Help from @TodaysParent {#Giveaway} #PGMom

Potty training can provide parents with a great deal of stress! Questions that often get asked: When is my child ready? How long will it take?

Within a very short time, she was fully trained both night and day. It was a breeze and stress free. My son, on the other hand, has had a much different experience and still isn’t trained at night at … Continue reading

On the weekend, I picked up a loaf of Dempster’s ZERO bread and made my children a fun Olympic and early Valentine’s themed lunch.
