Alyson Schafer in For the love of parenting, Get Inspired: Making a Difference, Just Between Us - 7 comments - posted on Aug 31st, 2011School is almost back and that means bullying season is about to start up. Here are my top tips for Bully Proofing: 1. Advocate for a School Wide Anti-bullying Program Work with the home and school association, PTA and school administration to encourage them to adopt a school wide, multi-year anti-bullying program. Simply having a speaker come talk to parents and student won’t make a difference. You need a program, training and all parties working together systematically to change a bullying culture. Don’t sit idly by saying “my school doesn’t have a program” – pick up the torch and start … Continue reading

With the ever changing weather here in Canada, I find it very hard to stay on top of fashion trends. Heck – I find it hard to get dressed most mornings before 9am! It seems as though everyday calls for a different type of attire and I feel like I just never look as good as “those other moms” {said in an ominous tone}. I’ll start by saying that I’m NOT a trendy person. No way, no how. I’ve always been the typical jeans and a t-shirt type-o-girl. No dressier than I need to be. Could wear the same outfit … Continue reading
