Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
As Tara and I sat down to watch an episode of Dinosaur Train (her new thing is dinos), I realized that Tara is probably the first kid o’mine that I have spent a lot of time with all alone. Now that the other two are in school all day, Tara and I get to hang […]
Adam is now 8 going on 18. I am finding this age harder and harder to shop for when it comes to toys and entertainment. He is still young but the pull of cool is starting and while the role play and imagination is still there….the lure of things like video games over all […]
Many people think babies are tough….yes you are new to the game and so are they and they don’t sleep and they cry and they poop and you barely have time to shower…..but wait for the school years….as soon as your kids is hitting the preschool things get crazy and you turn into an Event […]

We have a bit of a dilemma here….one that repeats every few months. It revolves around Caity’s yearning to dance. Our community centre has a little ballet program starting with classes for wee one’s and on up…they are all short…45 minutes and pretty inexpensive.
