PC Green – Make Earth Day an Earth Year
Admitted: I am a PC shopper – out of convenience and brand loyalty. When I was sent information about the new PC G.R.E.E.N. products (just in time for Earth Day!) I was completely on board to share. President’s Choice was been committed for more than 20 years of environmental sustainability. I have the PC reusable…
Sick Child – Tired Mom
I write this after a +24 hours of Poltergeist-esque-child-vomiting. It’s the kind of experience which tires your out and shakes you up – both at the same time. Thing 2 was really, violently, sick. I clocked the fever at 102F (is 102F considered a fever these days?…I seem to remember someone telling me a fever…
Earth Day chez nous
Earth Day is fast approaching. As a parent, who enjoys “teachable moments” I am trying to come up with some activities/ideas for Earth Day. And why not? My kids are part of the tree-huggin’, polar-bear-lovin’, we’ve-got-to-do-somethin’ generation. They have grown up with recycling programs and water conservation.

Parent Club Review: Great Wolf Lodge (2)
There is a reason why Great Wolf Lodge, Niagara Falls was the 2009 Traveller’s Choice Winner: Best For Families; it accommodates adults and children. For example, the buffets (breakfast, lunch and dinner) have adult stations with made-to-order omelet and pasta. One can also find child-sized islands where the child can take a non-breakable plate and…
Parent Club Review: Great Wolf Lodge
The lobby of Great Wolf Lodge, Niagara Falls is amazing. Enormous antler-clad chandeliers, a glowing hearth and big welcoming chairs. Wolves (robotic wolves!) looked down from their ledges above the fireplace. This is some-kind-of-place! On check-in, we get our first two tastes of family-friendliness… First: hand prints are etched along the wall – where kids…
