I’m looking over at my 8-year-old cracking up with laughter 10 minutes after I told her it was bedtime. She begins to fake a meltdown immediately of course but funny stories for kids are her absolute favourite. That means whenever I say it’s bedtime she immediately pulls out her Kindle and says ok I just want…

Anyone out there with an angry kid? Here are some tips that may help them understand their emotions. I used to wonder what mommy bloggers would talk about after baby and toddler stages passed. That stage when kids are cutest and everybody wants to see and hear about every little step they take. Now I…

Munchkin turned 5 and it was time for a Frozen party! She got to be a little princess while I celebrated five years of being a mother. Yes, that matters. When we have kids our lives tend to be taken over by them. Nothing is about you anymore, it’s all about the kids. While that’s…

Munchkin turned 3 years old recently and I decided it was time for her first birthday party. I always said I would never be the parent to throw a 1yo birthday party as that is a party for the parents, not the child. At 3, Munchkin is fully aware of what a birthday party is,…

I woke up with one thought on my mind; how am I, at 9 months pregnant, gonna last till 2pm not eating anything?  Little did I know 2pm was actually several days away. There wasn’t much surprise or drama to munchkin’s arrival. In fact, my partner complained that he felt like he was robbed of…

So there’s no furniture in my living room really…that’s munchkin’s space to roam. I put her toys down, block her in and sit back and watch the telly. But of course with kids, toys only hold their attention for 2.7 seconds and then they’re off to find adventure. Such was the case just now when…

Hi sweetie! How happy am I that you came into mommy’s life and taught me exactly what the meaning of love is! I’m taking a minute to tell you how much I love you. And I know you love me too, from the mere fact that I still can’t get you to sleep in the…
