An Infant's Treasure Basket
Category: MEMBER'S POSTS
I love watching my baby explore her surroundings. I get such pleasure from observing her delight in the little things, the small things... the things that are often overlooked by adults.

I recently stumbled across a wonderful article about Heuristic Play... simply put, "the activity of babies and children as they play with and explore the properties of objects" (Little Acorns To Mighty Oaks, 2011).

My excitement bubbled over as I read about assembling a "treasure basket" for an infant. The basket would contain a collection....

Me Like Strong Man

I worked all summer at a hot dog stand in 1986 to buy the bike I am currently riding – it was $400 at the time and I was making $5 an hour – you do the math. It basically adds up to the fact that, after all this time, I am not taking any chances that someone is going to ride off with my ride… the perfect scenario to test out a bike lock... read the rest at mamabrain.com

The Purple Bowl
Category: MEMBER'S POSTS

There's a purple bowl in my dishwasher... you might be familiar with it, as you may have a bowl like it too. Or maybe for you, it's not a bowl but rather a plate or a fork or a cutting knife.

This bowl is a regular sight in my dishwasher, not because it's my favourite but because every time the dishwasher finishes its cleaning cycle, this bowl is still dirty. So it sits there... awaiting another full load, awaiting the time when it will finally be clean enough to make the journey from dishwasher to cupboard.

Lately I've been....

Cat On A Hot Car Hood
Category: MEMBER'S POSTS

I am allergic to cats. Now when I say allergic... I mean ALLERGIC. They make me sick, sick, sick. 

 
My neighbourhood is full of cats. They prance around my yard and rub up against our patio door just to drive my dog crazy. They fight all night... every night. They scoot across the sidewalk in front of you just to give you a heart attack. And... they stalk me. Seriously. Maybe not all of them but there's this one cat that just won't leave me alone....

Embracing The Silence
Category: MEMBER'S POSTS

My home is a place that's often bustling with noise. Two children, a husband and a dog makes it difficult to find peace and solitude. However, I've recently challenged myself to avoid turning on the radio or the television and I have made a commitment to embrace the silence that comes with the quiet.

I quickly learned that "silence" is not quiet at all.
