I’d always thought that laser tag was an amusing holdover from decades past and was surprised that anyone ever set foot in LaserCity Fun Centre on View St. Last fall, however, Kiddo was invited to a birthday party there so, in we went. We weren’t surprised to find that the arcade games were all [...]
Back in April, Kiddo started sleeping in the basement — when we moved in, we built in a bed in a back room and shortly after her birthday, she claimed it. In August, we asked her if she would like to move her bedroom downstairs and we could use what is her bedroom for an [...]
A few months back, Kiddo attended a cooking-for-kids class; she learned some basic recipes for meals, snacks and desserts, one of which was how to make a single serving of ice cream using just a few ingredients plus a couple of zip-close bags. With the weather finally warming up, Kiddo was eager to give it [...]
“This!” Kiddo declared, her hands held out to frame her view of trees silhouetted in the evening sky, “This is why I love being a night owl!” We had just come out of a parent-sponsored fun night at the school last Friday so Kiddo was already in a great mood but I was surprised [...]
As you may recall, Kiddo declared herself vegetarian (pescetarian) some time ago and has persisted. Mike would be content with a vegetarian diet if Kiddo were willing to broaden her palate. So far, this has been the great challenge. Let me tell you: I am ridiculously bored of carrots and broccoli. Mike and I also want [...]
Earlier this week, a friend asked what non-chocolate items people put in their kids’ Easter baskets. I recalled books, socks, colouring books, plush toys, LEGO and other stuff. Some years, I opted for Dollar Store items, other years saw handmade toys and jewelry. For the first year since Kiddo was very small, I didn’t get [...]
Today, Parenting, Illustrated with Crappy Pictures blogged about accidentally teaching a curse word to her youngest. At the close of the post she asked, “Do you have a swearing story?” Oh, I have a doozy of a swearing story. And I can’t believe I haven’t blogged it before.
I really want to give massive kudos to my daughter. A few years ago, she started to feel really overwhelmed at Christmas — as an only child, she was getting a little spoiled and even though she’s not an only grandchild, she gets a lot from grandparents and extended family too. As a remedy, she [...]
Crafting [check] I now have a stack of mug-mats (coaster-sized mini-quilts) for the Libraries Craft Fair on Wednesday and packaged about 50 sets of Reindeer Noses and Holly Berries (30 for Kiddo’s class and teachers; the remainder for the craft fair) and I managed to extract a whole lot of my stock that I’ve been [...]
Many years back, I bought a cheap orange hairband with green leaves and a bit of ribbon for vine. I get compliments every year when I wear it to work as it has become my default costume, along with an orange t-shirt. Even when I bought it I thought, “Geez. This would be really easy [...]
