Easter Hunt

Traditionally we do not celebrate Easter but Westmount Mall (London, Ontario) had a day planned for children for Easter and I could not resist taking my little girl. They called it an Easter egg hunt but it was hardly that. The London Rangers Baseball Team was in the mall that day signing autographs for the children, there was about six stations set up. Each station had a baseball player sitting and a container full of treats, after each signing children would take a treat and place it in their bag. There was an Easter bunny taking pictures with the kids and handing out treats and also a girl in a costume with the Salvation Army that was also passing out treats. Baby girl had a great time running around with her aunties and uncle but most of all she loves spending time with her grandma. I loved it! We got our signed poster and a bag of goodies which included pencils, Easter straws, pencil grips, an activity book, crayons, chocolates, and gummy eggs. I have to admit Malak was a little scared of the big bunny costume she just wanted to touch his face.

We spent the day at the mall with my two sisters, brother, and mother. We then went home and enjoyed homemade pizza as a family. It was a good day. At the end of the day family makes everything better, I am truly blessed to have such a terrific family always by my side.

Toys for Toddlers

Toys can be a crucial part of a toddlers development of the brain and the senses. My daughter recently turned a year old and loves to play and explore everything around her. Books can be a great way to stimulate the mind, my daughter often brings books from her playroom and gives them to me to read to her. Pointing to the words as you read will help them follow along I've caught my girl pretending to read a few times and pointing as she babbles. Monkey see, monkey do 🙈. I love when she picks up on things that I do and it helps you see that your little one is on the right track.                                          Boxes that helps babies identify and experiment with different shapes and colours helps children as well. It builds problem solving skills, allows them to explore, and concentrate on the task at hand. The red toy with the shapes has an outline of the blocks in the...

Limiting Screen Time

This post is dedicated to kids (and parents) with technology addictions. I have been struggling lately with a toddler who seems to be addicted to the iPad. She wants it in the morning, afternoon, and night; even sometimes falling asleep with it in her hand. Why are we struggling with limiting screen time? Disclosure: I do not own this image Parents need to stop using technology as a way to distract their kids. It always seems to be the easiest solution to get kids to be quiet. Parents need some quiet time to do some work, give the kid an iPad to distract them. Parent too tired to play with kids, hand them the iPad. Parent wants some alone time, give the kid an iPad. It's unfortunate but its true but sometimes we do not have the energy to be "on" all the time and it seems to be the quickest fix to the problem. Kids tend to copy what they see like they say "monkey see monkey do". When kids see their parent always glued to their phone, laptops, etc. Is it...

The Working from Home Age

My latest update is that on April 1st was official day as per my contract as a Settlement Counsellor with Northwest London Resource Centre! For those who don't know it is a step up from my previous job as a Library Settlement Worker. The hours are better for me now, before I was working evenings and Saturdays but for this job I will have the option of working 8:30-4:30 pm or let's say I want to drive my daughter to school and then go to work I can do a 9:30-5:30 pm. The flexibility on their end is fabulous and I really appreciated having the option. So, obviously now things are a little different being in the COVID-19 age of having all non-essential places shut down we were deemed a non-essential service. Now we are working from home! My husband made an excellent observation about me and said if thing were different and you had the option to be working from home or being in the office I think you would choose to work from home. I think once upon a time I would've agreed ...
