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…

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…
Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park
Always on the look out for an activity which will get kids moving – the idea of an Indoor Trampoline Park intrigued me. Sport + fun + kids = winning family field trip. A new family destination has been discovered…guys…you have to see Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park… Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park has two…
