    Turning 18 – My Latest for CBC Parents

    June 19, 2022 / No Comments

    Both of my kids now are technically an age where the world considers them adults. This year, my youngest was just turning 18, when my nephew asked me if both of the kids were adults yet and that gave me pause. I mean first of all what is an adult? At what magical age or stage are we all adults? Happy Birthday! Second of all, I think most of you know that my kids are not neurotypical. They are neurodiverse kids aging during a pandemic and frankly that just hits different. So I wrote a little something about what is turning 18 anymore and what does it mean. This is…

    Luxear Fridge Containers Organizing Fresh Food

    April 19, 2022 / No Comments

    If you are anything like me at all then you buy a fair bit of local fresh produce. But, you don’t always get around to eating it before it spoils. Well, Luxear Fridge containers are changing that. I received product for consideration here. My opinion is all my own and it is truthful. My fridge can sometimes be like the black hole. Food goes in but gets lost in there sometimes. This year, we are all about the Produce Guyz fresh produce delivery so we always have fresh fruit and vegetables on hand. I like the convenience of the delivery and the cost is great too. Now, with Luxear Fridge…

    Tackling Interzip, the World’s First Interprovincial Zip Line!

    March 27, 2022 / No Comments

    Many thanks to Tourisme Outaouais for the gifted experience at Interzip, the World’s first interprovincial zip line. This past year when travel was a bit less predictable, we embraced camping, skiing and driving to Quebec to enjoy all the spectacular outdoor terrain. The Laurentians are a big draw for us always, in any season and Quebec is a manageable drive from London, Ontario, and several other Ontario cities, so it is a natural choice. Gatineau is one of our favourite Quebec cities to visit. It’s just the right distance to spend a couple of days in and then launch deeper into Quebec, which is how we planned our itinerary. In…

    So Where’ve I Been for the Last Year?

    March 14, 2022 / No Comments

    So Where’ve I Been this last year? Two years ago this week we were practically standing at the door ready to roll on our trip to Vermont I was writing here 3-4 times a week, a regular contributor to CBC Parents and Content Coordinator at Neighbours of Sunningdale. But the pandemic upended a lot of that. Travel ground to a standstill two years ago this week and that was that. What is a travel writer without the ability to travel? I pivoted fast to writing about pandemic parenting and that worked for several months. Frankly, that first year just being able to keep paying the mortgage was a big accomplishment.…

    Learning Emotions Activity Book

    February 2, 2022 / No Comments

    Learning emotions for kids can be a game changer as they grow. That can also be a game changer for adults as well because when kids understand emotions and can use the right words to describe the right emotion it makes a world of difference in all the family relationships. My kids have both struggled with emotional regulation and dysregulation over the years. One has anxiety disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the other of course has fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD.) I have talked about that disability many times over the years. But if you are interested in learning more then check out the piece that I…
