My super fancy tech set up today to do some tv about Easter and how to accommodate the dietary needs of everyone…and how to keep those cute grandkids engaged and happy at the dinner table (flip through to last photo, these two are always happy at the dinner table). As well, the role of the hosting grandma- what it is, and what it isn’t.

Segments coming up this week and next. Stay tuned!

It’s that time again! We only record #GoToGrandm

It’s that time again! We only record #GoToGrandma once a week but it seems to come so quickly! After we record episode #86 this morning, tomorrow I’ll start writing the script and promo for next week’s show, and continue promoting the show coming up on Saturday morning, which we recorded last week. Our guests are booked about 6-8 weeks in advance, so I have to keep filling those coffers, while doing research and reading the books some of my guests will be talking about. I submit the podcast info as soon as we record the show, and the podcast releases on a Tuesday so I share that as soon as I can.

I love it.

Hope you will tune in for this show, I’m calling REAL:INTEL which airs Saturday April 1st, no fooling, and we’ll be talking about Emotional Intelligence, selling the family home after parents pass, and why equity in US real estate is your friend right now. 7:30am on @zoomer_radio

Thanks for indulging me and reading this! Hope you join us for everything today’s grandparents need to know about.

Great afternoon exploring the Main Street (2nd Ave

Great afternoon exploring the Main Street (2nd Avenue) in Owen Sound. Highlight was discovering the Mudtown Station Brewery. Used to be a train station back in the 60’s and they’ve kept the ticket window and other artifacts. And they brew some great beer and seltzers too. The area used to be called Mudtown due to the many mudslides they used to have. This would be a great place to visit in the summer as the patio is right out in the river.

How about this for a "two-fer"? Wearing a green

How about this for a "two-fer"?

Wearing a green jacket on #stpatricksday and all set up with my radio props to do an interview today with @johngormleyshow at 10:05am Saskatchewan time.

Today we're talking about what the appropriate age is for kids to be on social media. My youngest kid is 20 now, and we only went through a few rules because social media wasn't what it is today. I wonder what it will be like when my grandsons (now 3 and 1) are older...

What age do you think kids should be on social media and how can parents monitor or try to control it? I'm sharing some tips but would love to hear some of yours too!

Tune in 650CKOM in Saskatoon or online from anywhere! https://www.ckom.com/

(Also shout out to @viji_b for this shot!)

Autocratic Parenting. Democratic Parenting. Helico

Autocratic Parenting. Democratic Parenting. Helicopter Parenting. Snowplow Parenting. The Tiger Mom. All of these terms have been a part of our vernacular over the past few generations of parenting. Is there a right way and a wrong way?

As each generation of parents emerges, so too does a different style of parenting. One thing they all have in common is that they have the child’s best interests at heart. All parenting styles are well intentioned.
Educator and influencer (and my eldest daughter) @toryhalpin is back on #GoToGrandma to talk about #gentleparenting , of which she is an advocate, and educator. She’ll tell us the strategies behind it, and why it doesn’t translate to being a “walked all over” parent. And we’ll talk about how we can incorporate these strategies into our grandparenting to provide a seamless experience for our grandkids.

And then, even with the best of intentions and most stringent of strategies, sometimes the kids just turn out to be…well…brats. Managing a teenager can an especially taxing time for parents, and for grandparents. How should grandparents deal with sassy teenage grandkids, particularly when they probably aren’t spending that much time with them? Family therapist @alysonschafer has some advice and tactics we can use, and share with parents and grandparents.

Sharing with our grandkids is great. Buying them things is fun. But when we share too much of our money in the pursuit of buying them things, the bills can pile up. It’s mid-March, but some of us might still be dealing with the holiday bills that rolled in, indicating how much we really did spend on those adorable little grandkids. Our Take 5 With @rbc interview this week looks at how to get your finances back on track for the rest of the year, and we also get some advice on how to stick to a savings regimen, and avoid the baby clothes and toy aisles that call to us.

Saturday on @zoomer_radio at 7:30am, AM740, 96.7FM (downtown Toronto) & ZoomerRadio.ca Up on the podcast Tuesday!

Well this is why I’m having my birthday celebration at your place in a couple of weeks 🙂

Apricot Tree Cafe @ApricotTreeCaf1

Bars in Belgium could be among the healthiest places to have a drink, come July! That’s when a new law goes into effect, requiring public venues to meet air-quality targets and DISPLAY REAL-TIME MEASUREMENTS.
What is Canada waiting for to make indoor venues #ApricotTreeCafeSafe ?
