Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
Granted, it is a bit early in the school year….we have only had the brief parent/teacher interviews so far for Caitlyn starting Grade one and Adam in Grade three…but I am very curious about what the mid year report cards will reveal for the kids. Being that I have an 8 year old boy who […]

So right now..right this moment..there is nothing but SILENCE in the house. And dishes and laundry…..but whatever…SILENCE!!! I SHOULD be […]
Three kids in a small townhouse leaves the place looking like something from Hoarders. In fact I am CONVINCED Caitlyn is displaying hoard like tendencies in her total aversion to throwing ANYTHING out or cleaning it up. Her room is small. She now shares it with her baby sister. The mess is only going to […]
Today I finally managed to take advantage of my gift certificate that I won thanks to Vancouver Mom for a membership with MomCafe!
