  • Six Ways to Sneak Health Food into Your Child�s Diet
    If you’re tired of your child’s dietary battles turning into tactical missions and survival-of-the-fittest lessons (or survival of the most stubborn), we’ve got six sneaky ways for you to trick your child into eating health food that you’re absolutely going to love.

Did you suddenly grow two heads and a tail?
  • Three Reasons Why You Should Never Degrade Your Child
    Have you ever gotten mad at your child? Be honest. No one can answer that question with a “no” and really mean it. When you’ve gotten angry, have you said things you didn’t necessarily mean? Things that may have been hurtful and degrading?
  • To Vaccinate or Not To Vaccinate?
    The question that crosses over parents mind is “should we vaccinate our children or shouldn’t we?” The problem is that there is so much controversy surrounding whether vaccinations are safe or not, a parent can find themselves wondering whether vaccinations are a gift from God or the devil in disguise. So which is it? The answer isn’t always simple
  • The Ultimate New Year’s Resolution: Doing Nothing
    As the New Year approaches, you may already have a short list of habits you would like to break, goals you would like to reach, and other changes you would like to see in your life. You may even have your resolutions written down and posted on the fridge next to your jam-packed calendar, grocery lists and to do lists.
  • Be Your Own Valentine
    This Valentine’s Day, why not take the time to appreciate someone who rarely gets your attention; someone who deserves a thoughtful gift and a few kind words? Someone like – you! Whether you are single or attached, Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to send yourself a gift of thanks and appreciation. This year, why not be your own valentine?
  • How to Recover From Holiday Spending and Prepare for Next Year
    Despite our resolve to “spend less next year,” most of us overspend during the holiday season. Perhaps it’s the twinkling lights that distract us from our bank balance, or the sugar high that makes us open our wallets with no thought to next year’s finance charges.
  • The Golden Rules of Winter Vacations
    Taking a winter vacation with your kids always seems like a great idea, but it can often leave you feeling like you need another vacation when you get home! With a little planning, you can take a vacation with your kids this winter and return feeling as if you actually got the break you needed. Just follow these three golden rules:
  • How To Reconnect With Your Partner Through Taking Classes
    When was the last time you really felt connected with your partner? You know, that feeling that you share something special between the two of you? How about the last time you and your partner had a really good time together, just the two of you?
  • The Pitfalls of Over-Scheduling Your Child
    It’s no secret that American children have jam-packed schedules and expectations that most adults never had to deal with. But you might be surprised to learn that many children carry around a PDA to store schedules and contact information, and a cell phone to stay connected to parents who may be at work or attending a sibling’s scheduled event.
  • Mother’s Day Resolutions: A New Tradition
    While the dawning of a new year challenges us to look at every aspect of our lives, Mother’s Day is about one thing: mothers. Why not use the annual tradition of honoring mothers to set a few resolutions that nurture you, nurture your own mother, and nurture your relationship with your children?
  • Simple Children’s Garden
    What better way to encourage your kids to eat vegetables than to plant a vegetable garden? Children will learn about where their food comes from, how seeds sprout, and how plants grow. They will do some work planting, weeding and harvesting and a lot of healthy playing. They will get a little dirty, and that's all to the good.
  • The Soul of a Home
    It's the room where your kids visit with you after school and tell you all about their day. It’s the room where your dearest friends gather for drinks, where your spouse makes you laugh after a long day, where you go to count your blessings, or to have a quiet cup of tea.
  • Round-Robin Mealtime
    Structuring the conversation, especially with children at the table, can be a bit tricky sometimes, and that’s where the idea of the Round-Robin Mealtime comes in. Prepare to be amazed at the simplicity of it all.
  • Live With Passion – Do What You Love
    Imagine the pride you would feel as a parent if you knew your children were involved in careers that really brought them joy. If you knew that they were involved in something that made them love getting up and working every day, that challenged them and filled their days with excitement and wonder. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
