Christmas is just over a week away and for my family that means there’s been a lot of talk about the Naughty and the Nice lists. Like generations of mothers before I have told my five-year old son that Mr. C keeps two lists: one is of those who have behaved well this year and the other is those who behaved badly, and depending on contributing factors like effort at school, general kindness towards others and a consistent bedtime, every person on earth’s name will end up on either one of these roll calls.  Read more >

For other parents in my town, however, fall is soccer season, a period of several months where their kids are bending it like Beckham three times a week, rain or shine.  Read more >

The start of my first official school year as a parent has gone smoothly so far. JP wakes every morning excited about getting on the bus and going to a new school where learning is cleverly disguised as fun. He actually likes doing his homework with me every afternoon, and he is so tired by the end of the day that our normal hour-long bedtime ritual has been reduced to a few books that end long before my nighttime television begins. He has really adjusted beautifully to the changes that Kindergarten has brought to our household and I couldn’t be more proud. Me on the other hand? Not so much.  Read more >
