The "Thudguard" Baby Helmet
Submitted by Crooked House on 10.3.08 at 6:50am.
When Luke was little(r), he fell down and smashed his head so much -- there go another couple IQ points! -- I used to vow that I was going to put a helmet on him. (Totally original, I know.)

Making Googly Eyes
Submitted by Crooked House on 09.19.08 at 8:03am.
Yesterday, on our way to a restaurant to meet Grandpa, Luke and I picked up a sale copy of Klutz's Googly Eyes. It's little spiral bound book of photos similar to the ones we took and it comes with a package of, you guessed it, googly eyes in a variety of sizes.

Compendium of Terrible Parenting Advice: What J.B. Watson Had To Say.
Submitted by Crooked House on 09.18.08 at 7:05am.
I can't get over how influential J. B. Watson became, given that he felt it was necessary that "love conditioning" must be "scrupulously guarded against." The ideal child would be as "free as possible from sensitivities to other people" and "relatively free of the family situation."

Noel Streatfeild's Ballet Shoes and Children's Schedules
Submitted by Crooked House on 09.5.08 at 8:14am.
Luke started preschool this morning and it was all very traumatic -- for me. When I noticed the other parents in the parking lot staring at me as I skulked in the shrubbery outside the classroom windows, attempting to peer in, I decided to go home and wait it out.

Pier 21 Shows the Spirit of Canada
Submitted by Bren on 06.22.07 at 9:14am.
I think a good motto in life is…never say no to a good field trip.
I always volunteer for these school outings, if I’m available.
I tune out the loud and obnoxious elements (all those excited kids all in one place all at the same time!) and carry on because a field trip is a little mini-a...

Curious Kids Ask Cool Questions
Submitted by Bren on 06.12.07 at 10:45am.
Since becoming a Mom, I’ve been amazed at the way kids think.
The very forthright and literal way in which children view the world is sometimes wacky, always wonderful, and often more than a little intimidating.
I’ve always felt that this fresh and innocent viewpoint is most often best expr...

Summer Reading Club for Kids
Submitted by Bren on 06.5.07 at 9:05am.
As a writer, elementary school library volunteer, and, most importantly, a Mom…I really like this one.
I just found- soggy and wrinkled in the bottom of my 8-year old son’s backpack- the flyer about the TD Summer Reading Program.
My son, no doubt, was trying to hide this one from me. He m...

Better Than Blonde
Submitted by Hannah Colville on 03.25.07 at 1:40pm.
If you felt tortured by the popularity and all-around superiority of a clique of giggling Blondes in High school, you might not recognize the light-headed leaders of Teresa Toten’s Me and the Blondes. For starters, the Blondes are nice. And smart. And, we are forced to realize, quite human, with ...

Thank You, Museum Staff
Submitted by Brenda MacDonald on 03.19.07 at 10:38am.
It’s Monday morning.
I have a fresh cup of coffee in hand and it’s quiet. There is once again peace in the house.
March Break is over…and this year, it actually was a ‘break’.
There was no traveling, no packing, and no planning. This year, the visitors came to our house.
We slept ...
