One thing about parenting that I was not prepared for and in truth, never really thought about, is how quickly kids grow.  I am not referring to growing in years, learning to walk, talk, read, write (all of these also happen fast), but I am referring to physical growth.

birthday boys

Today marked another “mini-milestone” in my eldest son’s life. He is currently in Grade 1 and was invited to attend a friend’s birthday party (a Lego party which he was very excited about). Well, after a bit of discussion between my husband and me we decided it was time for our son to attend parties on his own. We would drop him off and pick him up. It was a two-hour party and just around the corner from our house. We have met the birthday boy’s parents, and the mom assured me parents of the invitees did not need to stay.  Read more >

Over the holidays I have most enjoyed watching the boys play. It’s great to see the dynamics between them and now they include their littlest brother who is only 18-months old. While they received lots of Star Wars Lego as gifts (thank you everyone!) and other great toys and games, I was surprised to see what they have spent most of their holidays doing – pretend play. The importance of pretend play is something that is often overlooked in our busy lives. As parents we focus so much on development through activities outside the home.  Read more >

Last weekend we made some really awesome gingerbread cookies. We had about half of the cookie dough left over, so I decided to attempt to make our first gingerbread house from scratch.  Read more >
