Mom 101

Say Cheese

How many times have our kids heard THAT command? It’s a wonder they aren’t turned off cheddar for life.

A Flexible Solution

Spit on right shoulder, coffee stain on lapel, rice cereal on silk tie. The tell tale signs of working parents

Out of the Box

Running businesses, remembering emails…the list goes on.

Very Scary Stuff

Hallowe’en. Very scary. Yet another time of the year when mom’s to-do list gets more monstrous than usual and the goblins and gremlins of getting costumes, candy and decorations come out to haunt you.

Easy Livin’

Summertime and the living is…easy? Think long sunny days, sipping lemonade on the hammock in your straw hat.
Now wake up.

Try sweaty and bored children looking for some fun on the 34th day of summer vacation.

Dear Savvy Mom,

Heard you were thinking about some good summer reads for a kind of savvy list and I thought I would submit my thoughts.

Remember LBK (life before kids) when we just read whatever was in front of us? Now we have to be more selective and make sure our reading time is used wisely, right?

Martha Scully from CanadianNanny.ca gives us some advice about hiring a babysitter. After all, we know you wouldn’t leave your most prized possession with just anybody.

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.

Safety First

Today, to launch Safe Kids Week, we have some good news from a national report on injuries in Canada.
