There are so many tasks to complete for the holidays, but the good news is they are usually pretty fun so they don't seem too daunting. From decorating the house to baking treats I love each job as long as I stay on schedule and things don't start piling up. One of my favourite things to check off my to-do list over the holidays is ordering our Christmas cards. I love finding the best photo of the boys or our family and trying it out on all the fancy cards available at Tiny Prints. Each year, … [Read more...]

A couple of years ago I was feeling stumped on something to get my boys for Christmas that was a little different. With three boys all close in age I felt like they had a lot of the same toys and needed something they hadn't seen before. A friend suggested Hexbugs and another chimed in that her boys really liked them too so I knew we were on to something. That year they received a Hexbug habitat and loved it, in fact, just the other day they had it out to play with again and realized … [Read more...]

I've only just begun holiday shopping and I've already lost count of how many batteries we are going to need to buy for the boys' new electronic toys. Seeing 'batteries not included' on a box is a parent's worst nightmare. From remote controlled cars to wireless gaming controllers, my boys love tech savvy toys and the cost of keeping them running can add up. New from Panasonic, eneloop™ rechargeable batteries are winning awards and saving Christmas morning! What makes eneloop so … [Read more...]

Whether you're looking for some new tools to get dolled up this holiday season or need some gift ideas for the ladies in your life, I've got a couple of good suggestions from CHI that I'm includingin my Holiday Gift Guide this year! Years ago I learned that you really need the right tools for the job when it comes to hair styling and buying a crappy cheap version isn't going to cut. My hair is very very thin (thanks kids) but it's also stubbornly wavey when left to it's own devices and it … [Read more...]

With the carefree days of summer behind us children may start to have the stresses of back to school time creep back into their lives. Let's face it, returning to class with new teachers, new schedules and making new friends is really tough stuff for our little ones and it could trigger nighttime bed wetting. Wetting the bed can be an embarrassing issue among kids, but it's actually very common. It's believed that up to 15% of five-year-olds and 8% of 8-year-olds experience nighttime wetting … [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...]
