Tip #19 Mom-the first weeks: How do I teach my...
I breastfed my kids. I didn’t know if it would work, if I would like it, how long I would try etc. Then there I was, minutes after birth, with a newborn that seemed to know a lot more about it than I did.  It was a strange feeling that over time became almost unnoticeable (except for the copious amounts of water I had to drink) but it sure took some time before I really got the hang of it. ...

First real party...
Last week our 8 year old son received an invitation to a “real” party given by 3 about to be 10 year old girls in his class.  He is in a “combi-class” which means grade 3 and 4 together.  It said “formal attire” and was being held on Saturday from 7-10pm.   A late night for our son is 8:30pm.

One of those precious moments...
Yesterday my kids all wanted to walk to school – it’s only a five minute walk from our house but we usually bike because as you know, every extra morning minute is like gold – at least in our house.
