    Morning Routine Checklist Organizing and Helping Kids with a Schedule

    August 12, 2021 / No Comments

    Now more than ever maintaining a morning routine is in everyone’s best interests. Kids thrive on routine and routines have frankly been hard to find during the pandemic at all.

When my daughter was small, because of her specific disability, she needed routines more than a neurotypical child would. Her body and brain just did not work without that consistent routine. A lot of kids work that way. Many need support and constant reassurance that they are safe and routines do that. Also, when my daughter was small she…

    Affirmation Cards for Teens to Build Positive Self Image

    November 11, 2020 / No Comments

    Raising teens is all at once the hardest thing I have ever done and also the most rewarding. As hard as it can be for me to parent them, sometimes I fully recognize that it is even harder to be them right now, especially during a pandemic. Teens need all the mental health tools they can find. These Affirmation Cards for teens are a positive way to encourage mental health and self esteem. I printed these out for my oldest daughter and she was thrilled with them. You never know how these things will be accepted. But, she said OMG I need those. So, I am calling that a big…

    10 Ways You Can Cherish Your Children While They Are Still Growing Up

    November 3, 2020 / No Comments

    The relationship between a child and parent is priceless. Children mean the world to their parents and time is short when they are small. I don’t know any parents who don’t worry about about their child, at every age and stage. Parents worry endlessly about the day to day activities and whether kids are getting enough attention, nutrition and stimulation. There are so many things that you want to teach your children while they are growing up. Sometimes it feels like a race against the clock. But often you need to remind yourself that there are numerous chances to teach and reteach lessons and you have a minimum of 18…

    Sensory Friendly Halloween Costumes for Children with Sensory Sensitivities

    September 16, 2020 / 9 Comments

    If you have a child with sensory sensitivities then you know how important it is to find them sensory friendly Halloween costumes. Halloween Should Be Scary, Not Scratchy Both of my girls have always had different levels of sensory sensitivities. In fact, it was the sensory reactions that first alerted us to Ainsley’s sensory processing disorder. Over time, that evolved into a couple of other diagnoses. But, the sensory processing was a huge factor for many years. It still is, even long after my daughters have outgrown trick or treating. Over a course of several Halloweens we learned a few tricks and we found many sensory friendly Halloween costumes. When…

    April 20, 2020 / 5 Comments

    Inspirational TED Talks can be great for anyone, but teenagers, in particular can really benefit from these 18-minute or less talks that can cover almost any topic. Teen years are hard slogging and watching them struggle sometimes as parents is so challenging. If you can remember your teen years, you’ll probably easily recall the angst and fear and general uncertainty. Right now, that angst and anxiety is running even higher for most because of the pandemic. That’s where inspirational TED Talks come in. Inspirational TED Talks to Ease the Teen Years From zits and breakups to proms and makeups, the teen years are arguably some of the hardest anyone will…

    Let’s play five things you didn’t know about me. One. I am afraid of snakes. They creep me out big time. Two. I grew up in Guelph with my Mom and brother. We were a tiny family of three. Three. I didn’t take my first trip by plane until I was about 23. I paid for it myself and went to Margarita Island in Venezuela for spring break with several girlfriends. Four. My Mom grew up in England. Five. My Dad’s family came from Germany. Enjoy this adorable Germany colouring and printing book for kids. I’ve never been to either England or Germany, but I genuinely need to visit both…

    Evolve at This Canadian Summer Skateboarding Camp

    June 3, 2019 /

    I have partnered with Evolve Camps, a Canadian action sports and skateboarding camp, to bring you information about these exciting summer camps. I received compensation for this post. My opinion is all my own. Hard to believe there’s only a month left of school. Then comes the chaos at home all summer, unless you have some tricks in the form of summer camps up your sleeve! Evolve Camps summer action sports day camp is a great way to keep kids active and busy! Picture your child dropping into a halfpipe confidently at skateboarding camp or discovering new tricks at scooter camp in London. Is There a Skateboarding Camp in London?…
