Delicious Black Bean Brownies

February 21, 2012




A while ago, we had a visit from Capital Mom and family.  Their family brought a great dessert — gluten free black bean brownies that her husband baked.  I loved them, but more importantly, the kids loved them.

Barbie and McDonald's Happy Meal Disaster

February 16, 2012




I didn't really need another reason to dislike McDonald's. I have so many already. Same goes for Barbie. But a few days ago, an e-mail landed in my inbox from my friend Sarah from sarahcasm.

A Disney Vacation: Magic or Not?

February 13, 2012




They say Disney World is the happiest place on earth. For children, it certainly holds that promise. When I was a kid, I always wanted to go to Disney World. I finally got to go when I was fourteen years old and had a great time. But it wasn't really magical at that point. We [...]

Cancer Sucks, Pink is Profitable, and Cures are Magically Blameless

February 2, 2012




Last week, I started following a twitter account called @Reduce_Risk, a Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation campaign focused on helping women reduce their breast cancer risk. Looking back through their tweets, I found one that said: 80% of Canadian women are at "average risk of #breastcancer. Do u know what that means? Learn more: ow.ly/8pA4L I [...]

Would You Let Your Teen's Boyfriend/Girlfriend Sleep Over?

January 28, 2012




This past week, I posted an article on my facebook page about some mothers in the UK that have decided to allow their teenage daughters' boyfriends sleep over. Is that shocking? I didn't think so. I found it progressive and refreshing. But not everyone agrees and some find the idea of it irresponsible or morally [...]

Toddler Behaviour: What's Up With That?

January 24, 2012




Have you ever looked at your toddler with amazement, confusion or frustration, wondering why on earth they are doing what they are doing? I know I have. I found babies so easy.
