I'll never forget the day my son outsmarted me at the aquarium, while he stood there insisting that those pregnant seahorses were Daddies, I had some serious doubts! Turns out he was right, truth is, kids remember a lot more than we give them credit for and somewhere along the way he had read this tidbit of information and it stuck with him. This is why kids soak up information from the DK Smithsonian book series Everything You Need to Know About..... Are sharks fish or … [Read more...]

I love it when it companies rethink an old idea or make a popular product even better and that's just what is happening at Dare! When I was a little girl, my mom was always tucking Wagon Wheels in my lunch box and I honestly didn't even know they were still making them! Seeing those old Wagon Wheels really brought back some fun primary school memories, but these Wagon Wheels are revamped in a whole new way with Wowbutter! Wowbutter is a peanut butter … [Read more...]

Based on the looks of all the kids faces this morning as they clung to their parents shivering at the bus stop, I would say that Fall is definitely in the air! Did it ever turn chilly fast!

Apple picking, the Thanksgiving fair, pumpkin carving and of course Halloween! Because we live some distance away from our family I've always snapped lots of pictures of the boys … [Read more...]

You may have seen the ads for the GoPro and thought to yourself, "that looks incredibly cool, but I don't do extreme sports like surfing, dirt biking or snowboarding...

While the GoPro is certainly made for, and can handle, any adventurous sport you through at it, families can get just as much use out of the GoPro as the sports enthusiast! Now that the boys are 5, 6 and 8, we are traveling more and … [Read more...]
