Many parents are unaware of the money they can access and the opportunities they have to save for their child’s post secondary education. And, with the current market volatility, many are skeptical about relying on public market investing. However, economic downturns underscore the importance of higher education, the importance of saving, and saving wisely, for higher education. Group Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) are a great...

1. Remember, your baby is going to come when the baby wants to come. Your baby is in charge. Your baby does not read the due date on the prenatal chart or your sonogram report. Your due date is used to manage the pregnancy to schedule prenatal appointments, schedule tests, sonograms and an induction if necessary. 2. Know exactly who will deliver you. Does your midwife or physician belong to a group? If that person is not on call the day you...

First foods, first steps and first words are important milestones in any baby’s life.  For parents who are signing with their babies, the first sign is also a monumental moment. I remember Joshua and Sabrina’s first signs very clearly. Joshua signed ‘fish’ at 9 months of age while Sabrina’s first sign was a mischievous ‘no’ at 11 months of age. At the same time, new moms often ask “My baby is 11 months old, is it too late...

Ensure that the hill is free of hazards - trees, rocks, bumps, fences and bare spots. Do not sled on ice-covered areas. Ensure that the hill is situated away from roads, rivers or railroads and that there is plenty of room to stop at the bottom of the hill. Look for a hill which is not too steep (less than 30 degrees is recommended for children) and has a long, clear runoff area. Inspect the toboggan to ensure it is in good...

A full tummy, a clean diaper, a comfortable place to sleep, and a whole lotta love is all that a baby needs. While most pediatricians recommend waiting until baby is settled - from around three months - babies generally make pretty good travellers. So enjoy this period: once baby is mobile and on solid food, the list of tips and tricks gets a lot longer! If you are travelling internationally, be sure to have all the necessary legal...

Despite being a successful actress and married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow suffered from post-partum depression after her second child was born. “I felt like a zombie. I couldn’t access my heart. I couldn’t access my emotions. I couldn’t connect,” Paltrow, now 38, says in the February issue of Good Housekeeping.  “It was terrible, it was the exact opposite of what had happened when Apple was born. With her,...

1) Problem: Your child throws up during sleep training - what do you do? You finally muster up the courage to start sleep training.  You're only 20 minutes in and they puke all over themselves and their bed/crib, so what to do? Solution: Keep calm, tell the child they are fine and quickly clean them up. Once your child is clean, clean up the environment around the child and then put them back into the crib/bed. DO NOT re-feed. If you have a...

The dark, quiet room is only lit by the candle illuminating the pine table at my knees. The sweet smell of popcorn fills the air. In my right hand, a chilled glass of chardonnay. When I place the glass down the candlelight bounces off my sparkling wedding ring on my left. The room is blissfully silent. It has been a crazy, busy day and I have been looking forward to tonight. My date enters the large room and sits down beside me while...
