As much as we all love a good chocolate egg or fruity jelly bean, Easter baskets should be more than just the sweet stuff. What were some of your favourite gifts to find that the Easter Bunny had left behind in your basket growing up? My brother and I always knew to expect one spring outfit and one new spring toy, like a skipping rope or sandbox toys. My boys have a similar experience but I also like to find something unique or special that will surprise them each year, like a Put Me … [Read more...]

Just when October couldn't get any better, this year they announced that Star Wars Reads is not just a one day event, now it's the whole entire month! So gather round your Jedi's big and small and plan some really fun reading activities to celebrate all month long!

Sometimes the youngest members of the family can be hard to shop for. They aren't really old enough to make a wish list or tell you what they want and it might seem like they have everything they need. One thing is for certain though, a personalized gift is always a big hit with children and their parents alike! We've been adding I See Me! Personalized Books to our collection for years and they are still some of my boys favourite books. Now we like to gift them to our nephews who love them just … [Read more...]

If you are anything like me you start out summer holidays with good intentions on keeping the kids active in reading and writing. The plan was to continue their work with spelling and printing and other topics and we did pretty good the first week, but then things slowly started to slip in the summer sun. Summer is just too darn short and inviting to be writing out spelling lists and the rest of the summer was spent relaxing on the beach, jumping on the trampoline and scoring goals on the soccer … [Read more...]

My boys have been Star Wars fans for a long time. There dad has been a fan since he was a little boy so it was only a matter of time before he introduced his boys to the series he loved so much.

Luckily, DK Canada has been a great resource for us and I can always count on them to have the kind of books my boys are going to love. With a … [Read more...]
