    Best Zoo Webcams to Watch Right Now

    March 24, 2020 / 21 Comments

    Clearly, we can’t get to the zoo right now, during the pandemic. But what if you could bring the zoo to you? These Zoo Webcams do just that! Do the kids want to watch and learn about their favourite animals and species right now anyways? Are they concerned about their favourite zoos or the animals there? Well, let them watch some of these Zoo Webcams and they will be entertained for hours over the next few weeks. Oh I know there are so many potential puns and jokes to be had regarding zoos and kids and families. Bringing the literal zoo into your zoo at home! LOL. Or maybe this…

    Launching an Affordable Retirement Lifestyle at the Beach – #ParkbridgeLife ad

    October 4, 2017 /

    Ever wonder if an affordable retirement lifestyle is a myth? Might be closer than you think actually. I like to think we know Wasaga Beach and Parkbridge properties pretty well. My family and I stay there every single year. In fact, sometimes twice a year. Lakes of Wasaga Cottage and RV Resort is one of our personal favourites. We stay in one of the heated chalets every February. After a long day of brisk air over on scenic Blue Mountain, their chalets are perfection. A couple of weeks ago my daughters and I, along with my good friend Margarita and her son, headed up there for a blogger’s weekend. We shared a…

    Special Needs Families in Ontario Need to Know This Now

    September 27, 2017 /

    Special needs families in Ontario struggle. If you are a special needs parent in Ontario, regardless of the diagnosis, you are struggling in some way. The emotional and physical burdens of parenting a child or youth with special needs, are draining. FULL STOP. Now add financial stress to that. Extra programs, time off work, specialty therapies – all of these cost a lot of money. Sometimes that is literally your grocery money. Other times it is your retirement plan. Financial costs are a huge strain to Ontario special needs families. There are some programs that help. Not everyone knows about them, but you need to know how to access these…

    Freezer Friendly Organic Fall Flavours #ad

    September 25, 2017 /

    This is a sponsored post. Fall routines are in full swing again and mealtime can be a challenge. It’s hard to make creative and healthy food quickly enough to feed a busy family. I know it is a struggle. But, there are a few things I have found that can help with the process. Preparing meats, sauces and even vegetables can help save time during the week. An hour or so on a Saturday or Sunday morning sometimes takes a bit of the sting out of busy weeknight dinnertimes. Fall Dinner Timesavers Wash your vegetables on the weekend and place them in small portions in containers in the fridge. Brown…

    Adoption and Family Tree Free Printable Activity for Kids

    February 5, 2015 /

    The Adoption Family Tree Printable is unique and intended to help kids visualize and process their place in the family and maybe even their understanding of adoption as a social phenomenon. Our kids often give new meaning to the proverb it takes a village to raise a child. Adoption and adoptive families are different. In more ways than most people can imagine. Once I wrote about some of the challenges of being an adoptive family here on CBC web site. Adoption is Not Like It Is In The Movies.   Our kids often come with more challenges throughout life. They sometimes begin their lives with a loss that can remain…

    Taryn and Tyler’s Infertility Story – #abhc4ivf

    May 1, 2014 /

    This is the story of Taryn and Tyler, both members of Generations of Hope infertility patient advocacy group, in Alberta. It is the story of how a girl Taryn, learned at the age of 14 that she didn’t have a uterus and would need extraordinary measures to help her become a parent, if ever she wished to have a family. There are too many stories of patients in Alberta with health conditions that have led to infertility. And yet this province remains one without any financial support for in vitro fertilization, which is one of the most effective but costly measures to help couples conceive. What hits me the hardest…
