Oprah's (Im)practical Guide To Getting More Sleep by Over-Caffeinated Dad
|
|
|
God bless Oprah and all the good she does in the world, but sometimes she - or, perhaps more accurately, her editors - get it wrong.
Case in point: the 10-point family guide to getting more sleep, which starts out sensibly enough, but quickly takes an impractical turn for the worse... Click for more... |

What Kind Of Mom Are You? by Alison Kramer
|
|
|
I've been thinking a lot lately about what kind of mom I am. We do that, don't we? us moms. We define ourselves, group, judge and choose. Choices tend to go along with other choices - if we have a midwife and we breastfeed then should we co-sleep? If we give the seven-year-old organic food and limit TV, do we get them a DS for their birthday? So what kind of mom are you...

My Son Climbed Mount Kilimanjaro by Wendy Shard
|
|
|
Right now, my son is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Only months ago, that statement would have seemed completely impossible. In December of 2004, Clinton had been sick with flu-like symptoms for a few weeks. I remember looking at him, a white face with dark circles under his eyes, and knew it was more than flu. At the local clinic, I had to...

Patti Sullivan: Pied Piper and Mom by Erica Ehm
|
|
|
When my kids were preschoolers and I was exhausted, many mornings were spent watching tv. That's where I first was introduced to the pixie-ish host of Kids CBC Morning Patty Sullivan. Her character Patty Talkalotagustachuck, her playful take on news anchors, was our family favorite.
I remember bumping into Patty almost three years ago at the Baby and Toddler Show. She was nine months pregnant, cute as a button. She had the same glazed over look of fear...

Who Is Meditating Mummy?
I'm a yoga teacher and mother of two. You may have a picture in your mind of a yoga-zen-mother: always serene and peaceful, seated in the lotus position and imparting worldly wisdom to the zen-like and inquiring children who have gathered at my feet.
Uhm, I have a confession to make. I lose my shit sometimes...

 Organic for the Busy (and Lazy)
Many people expect fitness professionals to be nutritionally, environmentally and just generally perfect. Not so... I've been meaning to get started on this whole organic produce thing for a while. But organic produce in your neighbourhood grocery store is not only pricey, it can spend an awful lot of time ripening (rotting) on the shelf waiting for lucky customers to take it home. It just doesn't...

Mummy Wins - Over-Caffeinated Dad Giveaway |
|
|
 If you give your kid a time out and forget to let him out for 20 minutes, does that make you a bad parent? And why is there an 8-hour service window when the repairman always shows up the last 15 minutes. Author and humorist Kirk Enright has the answers to these questions and more in his new book Death By Suburb, a collection of essays and anecdotes poking fun at the absurdities of modern-day over-scheduled, over-caffeinated, overwhelming family life. This month we're giving away six prize packs, each with a Death By Suburb book, drawstring bag and coffee tumbler valued at $45.
So fill up your coffee tumbler and get drawn into the super-sized, theme-park suburban dream...because you still have another 7 hours and 45 minutes before the repairman shows up.

Erica was nominated because, un-like many online and print magazines that subtly suggest mothers aren't good enough, pretty enough, skinny enough, young enough, the YummyMummyClub empowers women with kids and reminds them to be all they want to be.
