Routine Examples for Twins
Since becoming a twin momma I've been asked by many who have become mommies after me what type of schedule I've had my girls on. I think it's always been more of a routine than a clocked schedule (note: the times...
Back to School Photo Tips
For most of us living in Ontario, the first day of school is the day after Labour Day. It's the day the kids (and parents) have been waiting all summer for! I'm sure your children are excited to see their teachers and...
Toddler Jealousy
Mr T. was two years and a day old when Ms. J burst into our lives. Two years and a day where it was just him. Him and us. We were a threesome and I worried how changing to a foursome was going to impact him. I had...
