For years I have been thinking about the games I used to play in elementary school. The games were grainy, and kind of slow...but that didn't matter because they were still so much fun. Then fast forward to today, I saw my brother in law watching a game on his Ipad and it wasn't until I saw a triangle appear on the screen that I realized he wasn't watching a game, he was playing a game. Technology has come so far! Our children…

When you have a baby you need to bring all the things a baby would need with you. Bottles, nappies, change of clothes with many options depending on the weather, medicine, cream and the list continues. If you have more than one baby, which we did it does feel like you are packing to never to return to your house ever again, this of course is due to the large amount of stuff that is needed.

Upon talking with my cousin who has recently had twin boys last year she is dealing with the…

A few weeks ago, I decided that it was time to let my son pick out a potty seat.  We choose to get a potty seat that easily fits on the regular toilet, so that I wouldn’t have to retrain him to use the big potty once he had potty training down.  Besides that the daycare he attends also uses a potty seat…

If you don’t like using time out to discipline your toddler or young child, there are other forms of discipline that may work better for you and your family or you can use a combination of discipline methods.  Remember that each child responds differently to discipline methods.  One child may respond to a variety of discipline methods, while another child in your…

I keep hearing how great sleep is. Some how though people seem to forget that I've been a mom for 15 years and out of those 15 years I think I've accumulated enough sleep to equal a quarter of that. Finding sleep with babies is an eluded mecca that I can only hope to one day find. I…

Clearly, I need a fashion consultant and a date night for a grown-up movie.

I make an effort to spend a little time every day reading something that isn’t on the internet …

Something that might remind me what a gift today is …

What a gift every d ay is.

And this is what I found this morning (in a book called Life Prayers: 365 Prayers, Blessings and Affirmations to Celebrate the Human Journey From Around The World):

Our true home is in the present moment.

To live in the present moment is a miracle.

The miracle…

When I took my son to his 18 month old check up, my son was happily sucking on his pacifier when the doctor walked him.  She took it out of his mouth so that she could look into his mouth and he kept telling her that he wanted he wanted his “paci” back.  She told him that if he could ask for it,…

This week I'll continue my discussion of being positive. Delivering Happiness recently tweeted "What do you value most in your workplace? Is it your co-workers? Your job? Or something else? #WorkHappy" For…

Many parents wonder what happened to the baby that they brought home from the hospital just a few short weeks ago. Once your baby turns two weeks old you may notice a change in your baby’s behavior.  If fact, it may seem as if your happy, content baby flipped a switch and is now constantly…

I know,a discussion about failure coming from me seems a little weird, but there's a good reason for it.

We recently put a question on our Facebook Fanpage asking people what they thought was worse...

...failure or never trying.       READ MORE.....

My eyes find a small pile of Jason’s things I forgot when I gather his belongings together, which have now have found their way to the corner of my living room. What should I do with them? I guess I should return them. It’s time…time to get them off my floor, time to give them back to him, and yes, time to face him yet again. I feel my heart beat faster and my nerves tense as I drive to where he is staying. I don’t know why I seem nervous, maybe it’s because I have no idea what he will say…

Bed rest can seem like a fantastic idea for a mom who is pregnant, especially, if you are in those final few weeks of pregnancy.  However, bed rest is sometimes recommended during the early stages of pregnancy to prevent complications and help increase the chances of delivering a healthy baby.…

I read with interest Clementine Ford's article "When paying for child care is women's work". In Ms Ford's article it shows that women don't work due to not earning any money and child care fees taking a big chunk of the women's wage, but why is it solely the responsibility of the women's wage to…

This is how I feel about my shows being cancelled. Angry!

Why is it that many of the shows that I just love have been cancelled. The only explanation is that the shows were not getting the numbers that the studio demanded each week and so cancels them. The following have been cancelled, Flash Forward,…
