Visit our sponsor: The Cub Twins turn 1 today! That’s right, the longest, shortest 365 days of my life have passed. I can confidently say that this is the most sleep-deprived I’ve ever been, but that it has consistently gotten easier as we transitioned from feeding and pumping every two to three hours to baby-led […]
#MomLife, Laughter and #LocalEats at Midtown Kitchen
Disclosure: I have partnered with YMC and Moneris and have received compensation for this post. All opinions are my own. Let me tell you about 10 Street NW in Kensington.

My 5 Favourite Cashback Apps
It takes money to make money. I like to earn money back when spending money I’d be spending anyway. I do this by using a variety of cashback apps when shopping on and offline. What’s the catch?

Teaching Through Play: No-Prep & Low-Prep Learning Games
Parents and caregivers spend a lot of time doing some pretty thankless jobs. There are bums to wipe and boogers to pick, spills to soak up and treasured pieces of actual garbage we are obliged to carry like precious cargo in our pockets.

Who’s the Boss: Should I Let My Child Set Their Own Bedtime?

7 Games to Play with Your Kindergartener
I strongly dislike enacting imaginary fight scenes with action figures, playing hide and seek or climbing the playground with my kids.

First things first: I am by no means about to tell you that your kindergartener should be spending their free time studying for their SATs. (We don’t have SATs in Canada, but you know what I mean.)
