    Vampire Kids Coloring Book Activity

    September 24, 2017 - By 

    Who is your favourite vampire? Are you still crushing on Twilight? Are you team Edward or Team Jacob? Or is that time long past. Vampires are blood-drinking supernatural creatures that were clearly once human. But I happen to think these adorable little vampire kids in this vampire kids coloring book look cuddly, with maybe a tiny little supernatural thrown in.     If your kids love to color, or even if they just need something to do here’s a cute little 9 page Vampire Kids Coloring Book. Apparently vampires are organized into nests and the youngest members do the hunting…

    June 8, 2017 - By 

    Marvel universe. That’s where my daughter lives these days. She is obsessed with everything Marvel. She knows all the movies and all the characters. And as a matter of fact she’s lobbying HARD CORE to go to an upcoming comic con in our area, or one far away. She’s really in to it and I’m beginning to embrace that. After all, the Marvel universe is based on comic books, which means she’s excited to read! DK Canada has two books that will fuel her Marvel obsession for the summer.

    Empower Kids with These Two Great Books

    January 23, 2017 - By 

    It’s important to empower kids. As parents and adults in general, it’s our job to help today’s youth grow up to be confident, well-adjusted members of society. One of the ways we do that is to empower kids by nurturing creativity and self esteem. I’m a big believer in this, and recently a couple of books that do just that caught my eye. Empower Kids with Learning and Creativity Although these books are quite different, their outcome is the same. They empower kids to use their minds and teach them that any goal that they set for themselves is achievable.…

    December 13, 2016 - By 

    Explore New York and everything it has to offer with two great travel guides. I recently picked up both of these travel guides because my daughter is headed to NYC in 2017 with her theatre group. Planning is half the fun of travel. NYC is an epic trip and I want her to enjoy it while also feeling prepared and independent. I happened across DK Eyewitness Travel Guide New York City and DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Top 10 New York City. Both books have amazing information that I hope will help make my daughter’s trip wonderful. Explore New York City with All…

    Christmas Bookmarks Printable

    November 17, 2016 - By 

    So what are you reading? Right now I am reading Karma Brown’s second novel, The Choices We Make. It’s a page turner. Are your kids huge readers like mine are? Need some cute and festive Christmas bookmarks then? My kids love books and we are always scrounging for bookmarks so here are some festive Christmas bookmarks for you.   My youngest is actually all about the books and my older daughter whips through books so quick, it’s not economical to buy them. I know that sounds weird but last year I bought her a novel she wanted and by 1…

    Summer Reading Adventures with KOBO Aura H20

    June 6, 2016 - By 

    Summer is my favourite time for reading. I love to take my reader to the beach or just sit next to the pool and read a good book. I enjoy a good story year round, but there’s nothing nicer than a beautiful sunny day with a favourite book. Much of my summer revolves around the beach and the pool. This year I don’t need to worry about getting splashed poolside, or dropping a book in the water because I have my waterproof Kobo Aura H20 to do all my summer reading. Summer Reading Means Fun in the Sun – and…

    The Gift of Family Entertainment – Road to Avonlea Boxed Set #TMMGG2015

    December 6, 2015 - By 

    When this Road to Avonlea boxed gift set arrived well let’s just say it hit a vein that’s rich with nostalgia. As a kid I was really enamoured with the entire Anne of Green Gables series of books. I consumed each one happily and couldn’t wait for the next to arrive. Back then we bought our books at Coles Books. Chapters/ Indigo wasn’t even a hint in someone’s eye yet. Anne of Green Gables was actually one of the first books I bought my daughter as an infant, not long after we adopted her, and I set it aside as…

    Get Your Little Ones Reading with This Cute Kid’s Bookmarks Printable

    February 20, 2015 - By 

    The truth about my kids is that they take after me – a lot. I am a big book lover and I read voraciously. It’s one of my favourite pastimes. Words make me happy. They cheer me up and inspire me. They help me to feel, and they motivate me to act, and even encourage me to continue writing. Practice, after all, makes perfect. My kids happily also love to read. Love of reading is something I have always worked hard on nurturing in each of the girls. We often each have multiple books on the go. And oddly we…
