Let's Party: Painting
Submitted by HRM Parent on 02.3.12 at 6:48am.
"Let's Paint! " my daughter cheered as the plan for her 5th birthday a few weeks ago. She's always been a big fan of the Clay Café so it was a pretty easy choice to have it there, despite all the fun ideas I had for hosting it at home.

Time Well Spent: Our Family Challenge
Submitted by HRM Parent on 01.24.12 at 7:00am.
It's almost the end of January - and I'm sure I could dig up some sort of statistic to share with you about how many New Year's Resolutions are broken by now...but really, who needs that extra stress? I mean seriously, it's hard enough to keep up with the day-to-day of life as a parent, let alo...

But Mommm: Screen Time
Submitted by HRM Parent blog on 01.23.12 at 6:38am.
Screen time.
I love TV. It is my guilty pleasure. After my day. After the baths and the stories and the negotiations about bed times. After all of that is done, I make my way to the family room. I sink into my spot and I shut down for an hour or so.

Where the nanny state leads
Submitted by Damian Penny's blog on 01.20.12 at 6:31am.
When you keep infringing on people’s freedom “for the children,” a little at a time, eventually you get something like this:
Anurup and Sagarika Bhattacharya – an Indian couple from Kolkata are living a nightmare in Norway. Their children – a three-year-old son and one-year-old daughter – were t...

Kasha
Submitted by Crooked House on 01.18.12 at 6:49am.
When I was little, my mom used to do a Slovak finger play that involved "kasha" or porridge. I can't remember the exact words and I certainly can't read Slovak but I think it might have been this one -- it was a bit like "This Little Piggy," in that it involved the adult lightly gripping, with he...

Time Well Spent: the "to-do" list
Submitted by HRM Parent blog on 01.17.12 at 6:57am.
Ok, don’t judge me, but I will openly admit to being a fan of Martha Stewart. I’ve made some of her crafts, baked more than a few of her recipes, borrowed ideas, shared her tips and more. I’ve also been a subscriber to her magazine for years and love how it gives me an excuse to sneak away at le...

But Mommm: The Resolution
Submitted by HRM Parent on 01.9.12 at 6:50am.
I’m not a fan of resolutions. But I haven’t always been that way. In fact, there was a time when I planned my resolutions meticulously. Every year they were a unique version of the same old things. Eat better. Exercise more. Be more organized.

The tree is down, decorations are put away, laundry is done and as we pack lunches we have to deal with the fact that the vacation is over. For Christmas all we wanted was time to relax and enjoy spending time together as a family and that’s exactly what we got. It was wonderful and I only wish ...

Tomorrow is my last day of work before the break, and I can't wait. An assortment of special people are here visiting (yay!), and I am looking forward to relaxing with everyone a...

But Mommm: Happiness
Submitted by HRM Parent on 12.12.11 at 6:47am.
When I was thinking about what to write this week, I realized I hadn’t written a Thanksgiving post. I’m not sure why because I’m way too morbid to take much for granted.
It surprised me that I didn’t think to write about one of my favourite things - giving thanks. You see, my whole life I’ve had...

Bringing Balance: Best Holiday Cookie
Submitted by HRM Parent on 12.7.11 at 7:15am.
This is, hands-down, the best recipe for chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever tried. It’s simple and not remotely healthy, but produces “cannot possibly stop at one” cookies. It’s an old family recipe, and I could “health these up”, but I’m a believer in enjoying treats in moderation and not messing...
