Batteries Included

posted Sunday, April 2, 2017

by: in Parenting

I may have been a tad self serving just now.  However shit does need to get done and sometimes the universe just accommodates you.  I have been meaning to clean out the cupboard under the sink for way longer than I care to admit. I have also been chucking used batteries under there for almost as […]

Obsolete Stork

“Where did I come from?” I used to think that would be the most complicated question. That was back when I was a grown up. My mind was doing backflips before the first conversation, but I was relieved to find this was an amazing opportunity to communicate. It is an easier concept when it is applied in simple terms, […]

Over-Stimulation

posted Monday, January 2, 2017

by: in Parenting

There are all kind of hangovers, and it’s not just that last glass of Cabernet that did you in. Gratitude and good times are enjoyable, but hosting/attending a party or meal is stressful even if it is a good one. The holidays are intense and emotional, and we all at one point run out of steam. As […]

Gratitude

posted Thursday, October 27, 2016

by: in Parenting

“Wait” the Menace waved his hands before our meal commenced. “We have to do gratitude!” We use gratitude as an adjective and I have tried to communicate a lot of fundamental things by incorporating it into our sometimes hellish meals (which now seem to help.) However that day he called me out. I obediently put down […]

That Parent

posted Friday, September 16, 2016

by: in Parenting

The Ginger Menace certainly lived up to his reputation this summer. Labour Day weekend he was mad at me because I would not let him put Pokemon Go on my phone (cringe). I made a well thought out argument and remained firm.  I thought the conversation was over and I took out the garbage.  When I came back […]

Give your children a holiday gift that will last a lifetime

posted Tuesday, December 1, 2015

by: in Finance / Insurance

Many Canadian parents save in an RESP for the purpose of funding their children’s post-secondary education. The federal government will contribute up to a maximum $7,200 towards each child’s post-secondary education provided you save $36,000, making the total available $43,200 (assuming your investment doesn’t lose any money and/or growth remains flat). Like an RRSP or […]

Label Maker

So The Ginger Menace had a shining moment today. Even though I had an appointment I just had to stick around for his special day, when he would get a turn to take attendance to the office, be the teachers assistant and most importantly and fabulously ring the bell. As he took hold of the […]

Spider Menace

by: in Parenting

Oh the sticky days of summer are here. Lining up our dinosaurs on the rug in an air conditioned house is definitely on the list, but The Ginger Menace can only remain cooped up for so long. So it is with pride that I announce that my little superhero has conquered the spiderweb! On a […]

Dino-centric!

posted Wednesday, June 3, 2015

by: in Parenting

So, The Ginger Menace has gone a little nuts about some very cool thunder lizards, it’s Dino mania in this house! Dinosaurs on trains, dinosaurs on fire trucks, dinosaurs on books, puzzles and television. When it’s time for lullabies he even makes me sing a new version of an old favourite, “every Dino that ever […]

Impromptu Soup

posted Thursday, May 7, 2015

by: in Parenting

I have learned that I can give no credence to the old wives tale – mothers (or parents of any variety) do not in fact have eyes in the back of their head. Even though it can seem like that when they catch you doing something you’re not supposed to. The contradictory phrase that tends […]
