A Lazy Mom's Guide to Parenting by Leanne Rancier
|
|
|
Hello, my name is Leanne and I'm a lazy mom. I bow down to those mothers that juggle soccer, ballet and piano lessons, volunteer for school field trips and help with home reading. Their childrens' hair is perfectly combed and they have matching socks every single day. I am not that mom. My kids go to school with one flowered pink sock and one with purple stripes. They're just socks, right? Who really looks at their feet? I struggle with...

|
It's 5pm on a Thursday afternoon. The kids are upstairs watching Sponge Bob, dinner is on the stove and I'm chatting on the phone. Only instead of chatting with one of my girlfriends like I normally do, I'm talking to Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell.

Mummy Asked An Expert: Parenting
|
|
|
Yummy Mummy Sandi in Milton, ON asked: I would like to hire a nanny and have some specific requirements such as no language barriers, a good education and someone who would be able to help my son with homework who also knows how to cook and plan meals. Is this possible and how would I go about doing it?
Our expert Martha Scully answers: Yes, you can find this type of nanny in Canada. It is more likely that this nanny is going to be live-out rather than live-in. But, there are many nannies that come from overseas that are looking for live-in work that are highly educated and have excellent English skills. Give yourself...

Real Life Mummies

 Katherine LaFlame created this fab collage of diverse Yummy Mummies. Recently Sean Douglas Sheppard sent us this email: I think your Mummy picture is good, but it would be really cool if it was not a cartoon. If it was a picture of real live Mommies and children that would be even better. Sean's right! Which is why we want you to submit your picture so we can create a collage showing the diversity and beauty of what Yummy Mummies really look like.

 My Little Picky Eater
Having kids makes you do things you would never do before you had them. Like make baby talk and funny faces. And cook.
Since Zach has moved on from cereals, I've been a pureeing machine, mashing peas, carrots and apples. None of which he enjoys. Watching him gag on his morning blend is torture. So I asked my tweeps what their children's fave fruit and veggies were, to see if I could bring him some joy at mealtime. Here's what they said...

PMS Adventures
 Four years ago, my youngest had just turned one and someone asked me what was new with me. My first answer was all about my children...the second was all about work...when the person asked me again what was new with "me" ..it dawned on me that I couldn't think of anything I had done recently just for myself.
That was my "aha" moment. I realized I wanted...
