So today we woke up looking for things to do and we came up with this Backyard Science Vlog for you. The only other thing I want to add is that sometimes this experiment can help children to talk about emotions too. You fill up all the ingredients in the bottle and describe the bottle as a person, or a child. Then when the foam froths over the top, you can tell them that’s a bit like what happens with anger when it grows so big you can’t hold it all in. It explodes. Then talk about some ways kids…

We finally had a chance to celebrate summer holidays with a brunch at Cora’s, something my niner has been asking for well about three or four months now. It was my second time there, at the breakfast place, with two locations now in London. Both times I wasn’t disappointed. The menu is exclusively crepes and waffles and bacon and eggs and breakfast foods. But as you can see here (to the left) this isn’t your average breakfast spot. The waffles my daughter chose were flavoured with cinnamon, covered in fresh fruit and drizzled with icing sugar. Yummy and also from…

1. Did you attend Blogher10? No. Dammit! I was actually a bit afraid. The swag frenzy and scary anecdotes from last year’s Blogher made me think umm.. nope I’ll try Type A Mom Con for my first conference. Thanks. 2. Are you attending BlissdomCanada this fall? I am crossing fingers and toes and approaching sponsors right now so I don’t need to remortgage house just to go. That would be frowned on by my husband. 3. When are you at your blogging best – I guess night. Here it is 10 p.m. again and I am bloggy baby. 4. How many…

Once again the Original Kids Theatre Company brings a magical performance to life and a clever commentary on parenthood. This weekend is the last chance to catch Disney’s Geppetto and Sons at the Rotary Reading Garden downtown London. It is a funny take on Pinnocchio and a great family performance. We caught this one last night. Bring blankets or chairs. It is pay as you go and runs through tomorrow. The performance lasts about one hour or slightly longer. The ensemble here works very well together. Musical numbers are dazzling. Tonight and tomorrow a.m are the last chances to see…

This is my sad review of the Kobo ereader. Sad because I have had to return my fun new toy since I was only reviewing it. I know that purists still argue ereaders are ruining book publishing and are not the same as books. But I had this for almost three weeks and loved every minute of it. A recent piece in the London Free Press notes that ebooks are outpacing regular books at library checkouts for the first time ever. The interesting thing about the Kobo is the fact that it’s changing the market for consumers. That’s good news for most of…
