posted Wednesday, April 8, 2020

by: in Parenting

So I took the kids to a graveyard today. Yup, you heard what I said. We had a great time, there were big rolling hills for The Gent to scooter down, gravestone names to be read, and some time in the morning to kill. No pun intended. However I should back up a bit, as […]

Stranger – Danger

posted Tuesday, November 26, 2019

by: in Parenting

It is not something I like to think about, but with two little ones it’s becoming more and more necessary to stranger-proof the boys. This can be one of your constant fears as a parent, yet you have to be vigilant not to let that turn you into an anxious helicopter parent. The danger is […]

by: in Parenting

What is it about Ferris wheels that bring out the kid in me? This weekend The Ginger Gent and I paid a visit, two in fact, to The Taste of the Danforth. Since the tragic events of last summer it seems like even more important to stand up and be counted with our community. As […]

posted Wednesday, October 3, 2018

by: in Parenting

How am I going to do a post on “Fight Club” if the first rule is that we can’t talk about it? So before you call child services let me assure you this post will be totally age appropriate and also, NOT ripe with references to Brad Pitt.  I enrolled The Ginger Gentleman in this […]

Happy September from the Ginger Gentleman! If you are like us you’ll be wondering where the heck the summer got to this year. It may have felt super short, but in that time our family has been super productive. Besides the fact that The Gent grew two inches, he also processed some challenging new realities. […]

by: in Parenting

Well it has happened. After a weekend of health issues stemming from food sensitivities The Gent and I sat down for a bowl of fresh fruit this morning. Sounds nice doesn’t it? It was until I realized something was bothering him. He did not look happy, and when I asked him what was going on, upon […]

Book Review: “Forward” by Lisa Maas

posted Tuesday, April 17, 2018

by: in Parenting

No two losses are ever the same, just as no two experiences of loss are either. Even so, similar is close enough. As a single mom coming off two weeks of pneumonia for The Ginger Gent (my seven-year-old son) and I, we were behind the eight ball of life and that was before batshit crazy […]

Back to reality. As snow is reported all over Ontario I am contemplating our last day in The Magic Kingdom. I know it will be a great day. We are going for a second spin on some rides we loved like The Haunted Mansion and the Tomorrow Land Speedway where The Ginger Gent got to steer […]

Wish You Were Here

So did I say the Ginger Gent and I were going to Disney World? ‘Cause we are! We rolled out mid day on Friday bound for the border. With many a “are we there yet??” we made it to our stop-over and collapsed into a hotel bed. By Saturday we were driving through John Denver […]

Transition

posted Monday, October 2, 2017

by: in Parenting

Trans: from the Latin meaning across, beyond or through. Thinking about this word in the current state of our family I have to smirk and say no, we are not across, beyond or through with anything! We packed up everything we owned and moved into our new house but no, we have not fully made […]
