Family Life

Splish Splash

We all love the water but we don’t love the fear we sometimes have when our children are near water. Drowning is the second most common cause of injury-related death for kids in Canada and of course peaks in the summer. A little good news though? We’ve hunted down some innovative new solutions to help you navigate the rough waters of water safety with your family this summer.

On the Road (Again)

The road trip – it’s all about the getting. Getting going, getting sleepy, getting hungry, getting ice cream, getting there. We’ve discovered a suite of products this spring that we think will get you there and back cleaner, happier and more comfy. We know you’ll get that.

Gettin’ Buggy

Bugs. To love or to hate? That is the question.
We have two solutions to help you embrace your inner bugginess this summer. After all, insects are a sign that summer is here and we can get buggy about that.

The Future is Financial

Lose the guilt. We’ve all thought it. Sometimes you look just a little bit forward to the day when your kid is off to university. As far away as that may seem (2000 more diaper changes?), guaranteed your bank account might require a bit more preparation than you do.

Dress for Success

Baby Einsteins, young Tigers, the political leaders of tomorrow – and to think we are the ones who wiped their bums. We also feed them, love them and teach them how to dress.
The dressing part is not to be taken lightly and apparently clothes really can make a statement – literally – even for the drooler set.

Better than a Bright Red Apple

Sorry to tell you but you’ve got more presents to buy. It’s the end of the year and teachers need to be thanked.
Don’t be the only mom at nursery school graduation without a lovingly chosen teacher’s gift in hand. (And what’s up with the three year old’s ‘graduating’ anyway?)

The Four Letter Word

Some men do and some men don’t. But even those that don’t might say they do around Father’s Day.

GOLF, that is.

So, pull out your own four-letter word – SHOP – and make sure he feels as special as he is on Father’s Day, whatever his game.

The Race to Bedtime

We heard you loud and clear.
Louder than the baby crying down the hall. Louder than the snoring from your beloved beside you. Louder than that insistent toddler standing at the side of the bed who wants a cuddle at 3:00 A.M.

Sleep is THE issue that you’re all obsessed about

Safety First

Remember back to a time when danger was sort of cool? (We mean way back.) But now that we’re moms, keeping kids safe and out of danger often takes precedence over broccoli.
Today, to launch Safe Kids Week, we have some good news from a national report on injuries in Canada.
