the bestest colouring book ever?

“This monster is very hungry. He could eat a scribble or two, or three…” It’s not unusual for my three year old to find crafty ways to delay going to bed. But I was taken aback last night, at 10:30pm. When I wearily implored her to go to sleep, she handed over a book to [...]
the pj wave: a photo diary
Filed Under biz tips, contests, eco friendly, events | April 26, 2009
Last Friday a bunch of intrepid mamas with their pajama-clad offspring gathered near the Jericho Sailing Centre to film our entry in the Chip’s Not Dead Year Memorial Mile in hopes of winning a Corporate Wave. We teamed up with 24 Hours whose had the idea of filming a gaggle of pre-school aged tots running [...]
a time out was required
Filed Under faces & places, parenting | April 23, 2009
I’ll admit it, when I hear the words ‘time out’ I envision a scene including a child screaming uncontrollably, or having just hit another child, or climbing the walls, a frazzled parent, and a gaggle of embarrassed onlookers. Not a fun scene, but I’m guessing we’ve all be there in one form or another. Now [...]
super savings, some of them green
Filed Under eco friendly, events | April 22, 2009
So I’ve had so many emails about great Earth Day sales (and some other doozies too!) in the past few weeks that I wanted to share them with you here. There’s got to be something green about saving money right? Organically Hatched is offering 15% off everything, but just on Earth Day. Use the code [...]
happy earth day

The following is a conversation that occurred between me and my 3 year old this morning: “It’s Earth Day!” “BIRTHDAY!!??” “No, EARTH Day!” “birthDAY?” “NO, it’s EARTH DAY!” “Oh. Is that kinda like Earth’s birthday?” “Hmm, kinda.” So happy Earth Day, or happy birthday Earth – you big old round beautiful thing, you! I know [...]

We’re excited to have teamed up with 24 Hours to enter in Chip’s Not Dead Yet Memorial Mile Video Contest because we want to sponsor a wave. Why? Well Chip’s Not Dead Yet benefits BC Children’s Hospital and is all about children reaching their full potential. And that’s something we can get behind! … It’s [...]
i’ve got my gumboots on…
Filed Under faces & places, where are they now? | April 17, 2009
Gumdrops on 4th Avenue, our favourite spot to stock up on raingear for the whole family (including the dog and the laptop) now offers online shopping. When we wrote about them in November of 2007 they had a website but no online version of their store. Since their selection is so great we think it’s [...]

Later this afternooon I’m going to a tea party to meet Peggy O’Mara, the editor of Mothering Magazine. Not only will Peggy O’Mara be there, but lots of local entrepreneurial mamas, so I think it’s going to be fascinating event. The lovely ladies at LunaPads are hosting the event. Peggy O’Mara is here for the [...]
just keep swimming
Filed Under faces & places | April 14, 2009
We’ve been asked a few times for a review of all the pools around town from mums trying to weigh their various water options. But even if we divvied up the list and the three of us went around town from pool to pool, it’d take awhile. So we thought we’d tap into your collective [...]
