Come Sail Away
Julie Cole in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us - 1 comment - posted on Apr 25th, 2012My kids are far from spoiled, and I myself had a wonderful upbringing, but every once in a while I look at their lives and say to myself “In my next life, I want to come back as one of MY OWN kids”. It happened last week. We had cousins visiting from overseas and it was all kinds of crazy fun. After several late nights, I allowed them to sleep in and be late for school one morning.

Canada is a very safe and friendly country. Sadly, most harm that befalls children in our society is inflicted by their family and caregivers, not strangers. Still, we need to … Continue reading
Today Was A Good Day
Lisa - Fab Frugal Mama in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us - 2 comments - posted on Mar 12th, 2012Most days I feel like a hamster on its wheel, running around in circles, crossing daily tasks from my to-do list and wondering when the hell I’m going to get off. Almost every day I struggle with balance and doubt the sanity of my decisions… Is working from home really a good idea? Do I spend enough quality time with my kids? Do I play with them enough? When I am with them, am I preoccupied with work? Should I forgo the extra income and mental stimulation from working and simply enjoy being home with them? Why, for the life … Continue reading

amotherhoodblog in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on Mar 9th, 2012My daughter is you typical seven year old girlie girl. She loves trying out new accessories and different styles in her hair. Her hair is very long and very thick, I don’t know what happened because when she was a baby she was pretty much bald until she was about three years old. She giggles at the pictures in the living room but it’s true! When she was about two, out of nowhere these lovely Rapunzel-like locks grew. Since then she doesn’t want anything but a trim done to it so I am always looking to try new and different … Continue reading
