A Fisher-Price Power Wheels® Harley-Davidson® Rocker™ – how cool is that?! A boy’s dream n’est ce pas?! Sure fire hit right?! This is the review where we learn…don’t make a big deal about new toys… It came in a wonderfully big cardboard box with pictures of a Harley-esque bike just the right size for my toddler. I was…

Homemade Tomato Sauce
Pasta and homemade tomato sauce is a weekly staple in our house. It’s easy, healthy, and fast (for those night’s when it’s feels like Dinner Impossible). All of my kids (sans the toddler – he is so picky!) love this main meal (and it’s so good I often double cook and make enough to go…
Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn
Always on the look out for a new, cool, family-friendly thing to share here on Parent Club, I flagged this next tidbit of info. because I knew it fit the bill. Fisher-Price has a new feature on their website Laugh & Learn where parents can find webisodes, fun games and activities for their little ones. How…
Bar B Q Menu
‘Tis the season of spontaneous back yard gatherings of friends and family. “Hey, come back to our place – we’ll throw something on the Bar B Q” (that’s said a lot around here in Spring and Summer). Kids play, parents sip, everyone eats…it’s the perfect way to spend time together. I have a few ideas for your…
The Children’s Place Spring Style
Have you gone into the kids’ summer clothes drawer only to find out they have outgrown last year’s warm-weather-wardrobe? Same here. T-shirts, tanks, shorts and dresses are all too snug, too short, too small. A new summer wardrobe doesn’t have to break the family budget…I did some reconnaissance to find some frugal fashion finds at The Children’s Place…and…
Top Movies For Mom
I saw The Notebook on T.V. the other day and I must say…I laughed, I cried, I connected with the Moms in that movie. It made me think of some of my favourite Mom movies…not so much about movies that have Moms in them…but about the Mother/Child relationships within the films. Here my fav Top Movies For Mom… The Notebook (oh how I love…
Mother’s Day Brunch
With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I was searching through the Parent Club archives for some Mother’s Day Brunch ideas. Make ahead meals are always my go-to (’cause last minute just doesn’t work with a toddler a foot!). I also like simple foods that just look impressive on a table. I stumbled upon this easy brunch menu, created by my foodie friend…
Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
May 12th is Mother’s Day and should you be in the market for some inspiration – I’ve put together an un-sponsored, shameless recommendation list of Mother’s Day Gift Ideas. These are things that I love (see the shameless-ness?!). Best part – I’ve flagged things that are under $25 (because though Mom’s appreciate presents they also…
Function Meets Fashion: Baby Edition
I must admit baby gear is very cool these days. Some baby gear is so sleek it doesn’t even look like baby gear! In virtually every brick-and-mortar store, the baby section is my happy place. I browse and compare the strollers and car seats and wipes and baby carriers much longer than my big kids…
Easy Family Meals
I know I have June Cleaver issues. I strive for that 50’s-esque perfect life of happy family/organized home (most days failing). Sunday to Thursday – I cook, clean, launder and tidy…until Friday. Friday is modern-Mom day. I don’t cook on Fridays – June aspirations get the day off. Yet, we still have easy family meals……
Rewards Idea and Chore Chart for Kids
I gleaned this cool #craft and #activity idea from school. The teacher asked for the class to bring in milk clips (you know those little plastic ties that come with milk bags). What would a teacher do with milk clips you ask?! Repurpose them into this Rewards Idea and Chore Chart for Kids. This is smart… Rewards…
Fisher-Price Favourites
After a while, you learn your child’s toy preference and figure out his Fisher-Price Favourites. For my son, it’s his Wheelies. These little cars go everywhere with us (there is always at least 2 in my diaper bag for playing with in the car or at an appointment). For my son, I’m pretty sure Wheelies…
