Wheat Allergy Card

Does your child have a food allergy? Eating at restaurants can be a rather stressful experience when your child has a food allergy, especially when it is a serious one! I have discovered that I have an allergy to Flax Seed. While there is no official test (that I have been able to find) for this type of allergy, I am certain I have one due to the reaction that I have every time I consume Flax Seed. Now I can say from first hand experience just how scary food allergies really are and I would never EVER wish a … Continue reading →

ABC Activities for Preschoolers ~ #ArtsyPlay

By | | , , ,
9 Comments

As a former Kindergarten teacher, I’ve always adored fun and crafty ABC activities as a first introduction to the alphabet and letter sounds. There are so many creative ways to engage children in ABC learning at a very young age, starting as early as 1 – 1.5 years of age! Perhaps during the VERY early years, the children see it more as fun art, but as they grow, the creative, fun and tactile experiences will provide them with a fun and engaging learning platform to be introduced to early literacy skills. Congratulations to our Top 3 posts from last week! … Continue reading →

Hot Wheels

I am a member of the Hot Wheels® Connector Club! My son LOVES to play with Hot Wheels cars and there is a world of imaginative possibilities with Hot Wheels play, so I’m a HUGE fan as well. Hot Wheels cars are a favourite in our house! They often come in the car in my son’s pockets. They are a great small toy for little hands. Building the tracks isn’t as difficult as I originally thought it would be!  I left to go to a Bridal Shower and when I returned, our entire first floor had been taken over by my … Continue reading →

Day Camp Packing List

Summer is just around the corner! Do you know what that means? For many parents, that means getting organized for trips and summer camps! It doesn’t matter how old your child is, when they are at summer camp, there is a HIGH probability of items getting misplaced and lost. Children are often in a variety of places including swimming pools, lunch rooms, outdoors and more which increases the chances that items will stay behind. One way to help lost items find their way back to your child quickly is by labelling EVERYTHING! I label everything that my children wear from … Continue reading →

NEW #Danino #GreekYogurt {Giveaway}

This Danino Greek Yogurt has a delicious creamy, thick texture and is jam packed full of protein to make a healthy snack option for children. Danino knows what catches a child’s eye in the grocery store because the VERY first time that I went grocery shopping with my daughter after this product hit the fridge in stores, she noticed it. The bright and fun design means that children will more likely be willing to try out this new yogurt with out too much of a fight (in most cases). I say in most cases because my son is considerably more … Continue reading →
