All Feelings Are Valid
All feelings are valid. This seems like an obvious statement, but in our busy lives as parents it’s easy to forget to respect our children’s feelings. As a mom of four young children I know how outbursts can seem out of control. Kids emotions can be loud, messy and hard to handle! Instead of trying…read more >
Exploring Expat Family Blogs
I used to have dreams of picking up from my life in north Orange County, California and moving to Montreal, Quebec. I’d visited the city for the first time in 2006 and immediately fell in love. Somewhere between the diversity, delicious French pastries, Chinatown, and not being able to walk two feet without running into…read more >
How to Wear a Big Baby in a Boba Wrap: No Sagging
I used to tie wraps on to moms. I would guide them through the steps. “Yep, “x” in the back of your body- then “x” on the front of your body”. Although I will admit that tying the wrap tight enough with no twists, or loose or hanging fabric is a big part of getting…read more >

Are We Sending Our Kids to the Wrong Schools?
“No more classrooms, no more books, no more teacher’s dirty looks…” or so the song goes. Which reminds me of a certain Pink Floyd song and so on… Well, thus opens a topic dear to my little heart (and I’m taking some liberties on length with this one, so stay with me!).

Top 10 Signs That You’re Addicted to the Internet
I’m addicted to the Internet. My daily vices include Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Mashable, and a list of blogs too long to list. A twelve step program may exist for people like me but we’re too busy using the Google machine to bother with that. You too may have an addiction to the world wide web.…read more >
