Last week I went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch with my son’s class. It was a long, cold day filled with corn mazes and pumpkin cannons, so as soon as we got on the bus at the end of the day my boy lied his head down on my lap and was asleep almost before the bus pulled out of the parking lot.

"I'm sending you something in the mail, keep an eye out for it" This was a message from my bestie from Saskatchewan. I had no idea what she was sending but it wasn't entirely uncommon for us to send eachother a little something so I eagerly awaited my package.

Knowing me all too well, my BFF sent … [Read more...]

Well it's no secret that I am a boymom to 3, but what you may not know is I was an early childhood educator for many years as well. My favourite age group to teach was the Toddlers for their curiousity, emerging personalities and eagerness to please, but working with toddlers also meant always, always, always being in the throws of potty training. It's safe to say that I've trained my fair share of little boys in my life time. This is a little trick I picked up on my very first college work … [Read more...]
