Sharing is Love {Book Giveaway}

Book about sharing

Sharing is something that many young children find challenging! Often, as a parent, saying “Please share your toys” goes in one ear and out the other, at least that is how I often felt. I am a big believer that books can teach children so many different concepts, sharing included. Children listen to books. Books are captivating. Books also help provide context for children and it is a way to teach them about sharing without coming across as a lecture. Anita from Babic Books has written two stories about how sharing is love. You can purchase Anita’s book on Amazon … Continue reading

Will Stroet is Coming to Toronto

My kids and I absolutely LOVE Will Stroet, the children’s musician and entertainer. I cannot wait to tell my kids that Will Stroet is Coming to Toronto to perform on November 30th, 2014.

Decorating for Halloween {Giveaway}

Happy Halloween

This past weekend, my children and I decorated for Halloween. I absolutely LOVE to decorate for Halloween. The kids get SO excited and the fun decorations bring such joy and excitement into our home.

While the children and I LOVE decorating for Halloween, I know my husband starts to cringe a wee bit inside. Halloween brings EXTRA excitement and noise to our home, which sometimes…..well, watch … Continue reading
