Have the kids compile lunch and dinner menu suggestions for a week. Then when you go shopping you have an idea of what their taste buds are hankering for. As long as it is good for them and they will eat it what is the problem? (Do insist on at least one veggie and one…
Have a bunch of kids with runny noses? Having trouble keeping track of whose kleenx is whose? Wipe a child’s nose and put the kleenx in their hoodie. Kids forget the kleenx is there (out of sight out of mind). And it helps you keep track of whose kleenx is whose. I saw a caregiver,…
But baby it’s cold outside! That classic song rings true in these cold winter months…however baby is less than understanding that he can’t go out. How do you bust the winter boredom?! Indoor activities – fun, engaging, activities – whether you need to kill some time between naps or play away the afternoon – I’ve got…

What is Mom mojo? excited over organizing the family calendar hyped over purging toys to goodwill happy to meal plan smily at the thought of back-to-school (it ’tis the most wonderful time of the…
Forgive me dear readers, Parent Club’s corner of the web will be predictable and unrefreshed in the next week as I spend winter holidays playing, crafting and hanging with Things 1, 2 and little Thing 3. And there may be brownie making. There just might be. Perhaps something from the Parent Club Archives to munch on…
Anyone else feeling overwhelmed and rushed and underprepared about all this Christimas-is-coming stuff? Presents and prep, food and festivities – it should be a time of enjoyment n’est pas? But I am not enjoying. I am lugging sleeping baby to and fro crowded stores picking up that “one last thing”. I am feeling guilty and…
The goodness – is that today was good…like gooood kind of good. Whoever invented early years centres really created a day changer for parents. DS was up at 4:44 this morning (yes, 4:44) and in between he’s feeding, pooping going back to bed, quickly writing a blog post and then the biggies were up for…
