    December 12, 2018 - By

    How to Deal with A Bumpy Flight

    December 11, 2018 - By 

    How do you cope with a bumpy flight? I’ve seen all sorts of methods. You know what I am talking about. When turbulence hits on a flight there are all sorts of methods for coping. Maybe you have seen them too. There’s the freak out, the anxious prayer, the arm clutcher, and even the zen flyer who lets nothing at all stress them out ever. The latter is way rarer than the other types of nervous flyers. Anyone who has ever traveled by air to any destination, knows the sudden drop/lift and general bounce around, that clear air turbulence can…

    Is Every Step of the Way the Hardest Stage?

    December 3, 2018 - By 

    Is every step of the way the hardest stage when parenting? Lately, I ask myself a lot of questions related to parenting teenagers. Like how is this stage even harder than when they were infants? How am I losing more sleep than ever over my kids? Why did I think parenting would be a good idea? How is it possible this is the hardest stage yet? Are you a parent of teenagers? Do you know what I mean? Do you ever ask yourself why did I have kids? Be honest. Of course we love our kids, who are now teenagers.…

    Happy December 1st!! Here is the December colouring sheet. That marks 12 colouring sheets in total here now so you should have a full year if you want to sit down and pull all the months of the calendar year together.
