Monday, August 15th, 2011Green Up Your Summer
Thursday, June 23rd, 2011Had a blast visiting Tracy Moore on the set of CityLine recently, talking about how we can green up our summers with our kids. My personal favourite is Bath in a Bucket.
Check out the show for some tips you might be able to use too.
CityLine: Board Games..and Drums?
Thursday, November 11th, 2010On Wednesday November 17th, tune into CityLine (9:00 am most cities in Canada), where I’ll be talking about the value of board games – why we should be playing them with our kids, what our kids are learning (besides math and spelling), and I’ll also review some hot new games you won’t want to miss (perfect timing for early Christmas shopping).
As well, if you have a child who “marches to a different drummer” I’ll be sharing some tips on how to equip them when they hit the school yard, proudly displaying their different attitudes, looks, and behaviours. Look for a favourite Yummy Mummy Club friend of mine (okay, it’s Sharon DeVellis), to weigh in as well.
The games I discuss call all be found on-line at Indigo

Resolutionary Thinking
Thursday, January 1st, 2009Happy 2009!
I’ll be kicking my year off with two shows tomorrow – starting with Canada AM and an early start (I’ll be on at about 7:40). I’ll be talking about trying to get the entire family organized in the New Year – of course with the end goal of trying to split the workload around here with the four kids. And minimize the fighting. And have a clean house once in a while. And get to the gym.
Hey, it’s the New Year – I have to at least try.
Then I’ll be driving down to the CityTV studios to talk about 3 “Resolution Solutions” I’ve been working on with the Proctor & Gamble folks. If you want a preview, go to my website and click on the Tide logo. The show will be live at 12:30 p.m., and its a phone-in, so if you can, please do.
Then I’m letting my family organize themselves, and the resolutions land where they may as I head out for a girls’ weekend skiing. There may be more apres than ski, but it’ll be a good ending to this holiday season before I’m back in the routine on Monday.
(Actually the real holiday starts when the school bus rolls by – with my kids on it. Don’t tell me you weren’t thinking the same thing.)
Happy New Year.
