FOOD

Put it on a skewer! A lunch box tip to try

Ah...packing school lunches. It always seems so novel and, dare I say it, exciting in September, but come January...perhaps not so much. With four months of school lunch packing behind me and five more months of lunch making to go before summer arrives, I wanted to share a little strategy that works well for us ...

Who doesn't love thinking about silly, outrageous potential circumstances and weighing up your favourite (or least terrible) of your options?! Haha. When I ...

THURSDAY THOUGHTS

At what age do you leave your kids home alone at night?

I had a revelation the other day when my youngest daughter told me that she had spent the evening entertaining the guest. The guest in this case was the 19-year-old babysitter whom I was paying good money to! This is when I realized that my kids were probably fine at staying home alone and very ...

Carmen Sandiego - finally a strong female cartoon lead

Teenagers -- let them vent!

I cannot just rush in like Batman anymore and make everything okay. One new development I have noticed as my kids getting older is the need ...
