Running and Walking for Terry Fox
Ladena (MyBabyStuff.ca) in Fitness Blogaholic, Get Inspired: Making a Difference - 0 comments - posted on Sep 16th, 2012Today my kids and I attended the annual Terry Fox run. We were there to support the Terry Fox Foundation and one of our close friends. A few days before the run I taught my 5 year old all about Terry Fox.

She donated $4 from her piggy bank to the Terry Fox Foundation and is looking forward to participating again next year. It’s not too … Continue reading

Getting ready for summer – camp style!
Ladena (MyBabyStuff.ca) in For the love of parenting, Holiday Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on May 7th, 2012Summer is just around the corner and I have a big decision to make – which summer camps should I sign up my 5 year old in?

She needed a change from mom. Its obvious that kids learn so many great skills in summer camps. Life skills, personal growth and physical activity are just a few things that kids can benefit from summer camps. This year … Continue reading
