What Toddlers Can Teach Us

January 15, 2012




Today I’m welcoming fellow Ottawa-blogger Rebecca from A Little Bit of Momsense for the last guest post of the Carnival of Toddlers with her thoughts about the toddler years.

What Happened on PhD in Parenting in 2011?

January 2, 2012




Another year is over. It’s funny, it never seems like a “new” year to me in January. I’m still very stuck on the beginning of a new school year as defining a new beginning. Old habits die hard, I guess. In any case, Happy New Year! So what happened on the PhD in Parenting blog [...]
