Meet George. Curious George. Our latest. Because you know we just can’t get enough of baby guinea pigs. He will be Georgia if it turns out he is a girl. But for now, based on past experience with ummmm gender and guinea pigs I think it best to assume he is a boy. This is Wordless Wednesday, a photo meme. I link up at Tara’s View of The World.
In case you live under a rock, well you might not have heard that mama went to New York this summer, Yes, summer. Almost two months back now. It was this tiny affair called Blogher 12, oh about 4,500 Bloggers or so. Here we are in the Fall and I promised myself I would post this spectacular adventure for all of you to benefit from or oogle over. So this is me here with Eileen (@Mom_chat) my very good friend and a really lovely gal. Anyways I found my peace, my groove, my mojo and my peeps in New York.…

We have done pulled pork before here on Cooking With Kids, but this week I got a great variety of spices from McCormick’s and Club House, so because pulled pork is such a hit with the whole family well I just had to try this one immediately. As I said, we have made pulled pork here with my own recipe, but I wanted to see how much punch the ClubHouse Recipe Mix for Pulled Pork added. Now, my kids, at this age and stage of their development, are fussier than they ever were as toddlers. They eat well most days,…
This is my kid. Not a celebrity. Oh I know you thought it was an American Idol candidate or some Next Star wannabe (well, it is actually) but she’s also my kid and apparently she likes hats and hip hop this year. Oy! I get to shop with this styling little thang. I am definitely not ready for this. Wordless Wednesday is a photography meme hosted by several blogs. I like to link up at Tara’s View of the World.

At the start of the summer I was fortunate to work with Walmart Canada to promote this incredible (soon- to-be annual) Mom of The Year campaign. So many Moms qualify for Mom of the Year every year because of the Herculean efforts juggling so many important things every day. Kids, work, marriage, volunteer commitments and sometimes caring for grandparents too. So here’s a big fat pat on the back for every Mom out there who deserves recognition. Hip Hip Hooray for Moms everywhere. Kudos to Walmart Canada for recognizing Moms in Canada. This is the kind of campaign that makes…
Just in time for National Guacamole Day I have a great giveaway for you! I arrived home the other day from a lengthy meeting which was over lunch and I hadn’t eaten and I found this. Boring Lunch Survival Kit and a mess of yummy Beanitos chips. That just made my day and I want to return the favor to someone else who may or may not be familiar with either of these products: Beanitos and Wholly Guacamole dips. I have been a fan of Beanitos for a very long time. I won a case of them well over a…
Once again it’s time for a great $100 Amazon code giveaway thanks to Makobi Scribe and Sason & Pobi. I like to offer these every so often to my readers, so we can each have a chance at winning.

Open worldwide and the winner receives a $100 Amazon gift card. Good Luck! Loading Entry-Form… …
Some day when my hair is silver grey and you are older you will find tiny baby teeth held back from the tooth fairy`s vast collection, random works of my kindergarten Picassos and every hand-drawn card my grandchildren ever sent me. When I am old and you are older and all this is meant to be emptied, divided up, sold off or given out you will find the cards I forgot to send and some that were sent to me when my heart was full and I was young and I made my mark on the world as a teacher,…
