3 Pokémon Educational Activities

Visit my sponsor: My son has been into Pokémon since he was 5. For almost as long, I’ve been searching for Pokémon educational activities! Now age 9, he’s still a big fan. (Pokémon has outlasted Ninjago and Bey Blades!) He plays Pokémon games on the Nintendo Switch, collects the cards (but doesn’t play the card […]

Thrift It Up at the TTMAC Sale!

Used Clothing, Toys and Gear for Kids Back in the early days of motherhood, when I had just one little wolf cub to care for and we lived in Montreal, my neighbour introduced me to the wonderful world of second-hand twins and triplets sales. Contrary to what I’m sure none of you are thinking, this […]

7 Low-Prep, Low-Cost Toddler Activities

As hard as it is, I really do like being a stay-at-home mom to my twins. However, I liked being a stay-at-home mom to my older two a lot better because … it wasn’t during a pandemic! Good toddler activities are a must! I kept my sanity parenting my first two as toddlers by doing […]

Gamer Math = Math Tutorials for Gamers

A note from Maman Loup: Back when I lived in Montréal, I would often be working with my own students a few desks over from where my friend Julian would be working with his. Secondary math is hard … and it is often not struggling students’ favourite subject. Because I’m an eavesdropper, I always heard […]

The Top 3 Reasons Your Brand Needs an Editor

Guest Post by Laura Bontje You’re a communicator—even if that’s not your job. Whenever you write a product description, a social media post, or a story for your website, you’re using the power of your words to inspire your readers to act. And whenever you write, you should edit. Not all companies have dedicated editors […]

Book Recommendations from My 8-Year-Old

Alright, he’s not quite 8 yet, but by the time I get around to publishing this list, he will be very close. (Spoiler alert: He has, in fact, turned 8 since I wrote that intro.) My son reads two to four books a (non-school) day on average, so since the libraries opened up here, I’ve been […]

6 Activities for Minecraft Lovers

It’s hard to remember a time in my parenting life without Minecraft. It would’ve been around age 5 that my son requested we download it for him on the iPad because he’d seen older kids at his daycare playing it. Admittedly, I knew very little about the game, but moms with older kids had raved […]

How Writing a YA Novel Helped Me Come Out at 39

Guest post by Dani Jansen Is it weird that I’m sometimes jealous of the main character in my own book? Don’t get me wrong! I do NOT want to go back to high school. Okay. You might argue I never left—I’m a high school teacher—but there is a big difference between watching the show and […]

7 Educational & Fun Podcasts for Kids

When I rustled up an “old school” iPod touch for my son last summer, I started finding him podcasts to listen to and for us to listen to in the van together. Given current circumstances, we aren’t driving around much anymore, but when we do, we’ve been laughing and learning along the way. (Our primary […]

5 Summer Sanity-Saving Activities for Kids and Parents

If you’re expecting me to propose this list of sanity-saving activities as a remedy to the excessive and toxic screen time you are irresponsibly allowing your children to consume … you don’t know me very well. Normally, the two months of summer break are the longest stretch of time when I have all four of […]

From Foster Cat to Fur-ever Friend

If you’ve been following me since the beginning, back when I had more cats than children (it was a 2:1 ratio), you’ll know I’ve always had a soft spot for felines. The truth is, although I guilted my parents into not one but two dogs as an adolescent, once I moved out and left them […]

Fraternal or Identical? I Don’t Know!

The learning curve when it comes to a twin pregnancy, twin birth and twin parenting is hella steep. It’s pretty much vertical. One of the things I learned quickly was that my doctors couldn’t tell me if my twins were identical or fraternal. This was confusing. For the past two years, when folks have asked […]

7 Unexpected Perks of Quarantine

Are you ready for a flowery blog post about treasuring this unexpected bonding time with your children and your spouse? No? Good. If that is what you were looking for then you’re in the wrong place. This pandemic/quarantine/self isolation/social distancing/coronavirus/COVID-19 is poop on a stick!* *I went through a variety of more colourful adjectival phrases, […]

My 7-Year-Old’s Favourite Series

My 7-year-old loves to read so much that he sings songs about how much he loves reading. When I send him upstairs to get dressed for school, I’ll often find him in his room, with one leg in a pair of pants and his nose in a book. I have to harp on him to […]

How I Stayed Motivated to Pump for My Twins

First of all, I did NOT stay motivated to pump for my twins. At least, not all the time. This story is NOT about how the miraculous “liquid gold” properties of breast milk was all I could ever imagine feeding my precious cherubs and how knowing that my milk was the best milk for them […]
