The First Flight by Christine Poirier
|
|
|
Plane, train, car, boat, bike; you name it and I've
probably used it to travel with my baby. Between the flights, the bus rides,
the drives, and the multiple trips on the subway, the memories sort of blend
together. I do remember, though, my first flight with my daughter.
I was
travelling to Europe alone with my daughter, and the quantity of things to
carry on my own was overwhelming. My criteria for adding objects was simple...

Top Five Things To Do With Your Kids in Japan by Yukari Peerless

|
|
I grew
up in a small town in Japan. I met my husband, got married and had my
first son there. It's now been 10 years since we moved to Canada but we try to
go back to Japan as often as possible. It's
been a great experience teaching my son about my home country and culture while
enjoying different areas and landmarks.
To get
the most out of your trip to Japan, here are my top five things to do with your
kids... Click for more... |

Lamentations of a Non-Adventurous Mummy by Nicole MacPherson
|
|
|
Once upon a time, I had a lustful relationship
with travel brochures. Not just ordinary, sunny-vacation-lovely-resort
brochures, but adventure travel brochures. Safaris in Botswana, riding horses
in Mongolia, hiking to Machu Picchu. I
wanted to rock the casbahs in Morocco, I wanted to don a burkha and visit
Yemen.
All those dreams came to a crashing halt when
I got pregnant. I would like to say that I'm the type of mother to cycle tour
through Europe with a toddler in a bike trailer or trek through Chile with my
baby in a backpack. I am decidedly not that mother.
Instead, I am the mother who worries about
taking her infants on... Click for more... |

Start
Spreading The News
I
got the phone call from Erica early on a Friday morning. "Sharon" she asked, "Do you
want to go to New York?" Hello! Does Simon Cowell need lip injections? Of
course I wanted to go!
I spent the next week
filled with excitement, making arrangements for kid pick ups and drop offs and
writing notes for while I was away. My
life being what it is, I wasn't expecting things to run smoothly but what I wasn't
expecting was H1N1 to hit our house two days before I was supposed to leave. Click for more... |

 How to Look Good NakedThis morning while relaxing with a cup of tea I found an old favourite was on - How to Look Good Naked. If every woman would just watch this show and absorb the message, my job would be a whole lot easier. Instead of convincing my clients they don't need to obsess about that tiny pooch or that little flap of skin under their armpits, I could simply teach them to maximize their strength and fitness for health reasons. Feeling inspired by these British babes, here are a few of my rules for body confidence and how to look good naked...

Mothers of Reinvention by Lindsay Brewda

 Grace Announcements
After I had my first baby, I knew I would need to do something more than just stay home with him. I missed the challenge of my previous business I had given up because of complications in my pregnancy.
I toyed with many ideas, but nothing stuck. It wasn't until my son's first Christmas when I ordered a holiday card from a major retailer I realized the Canadian market was lacking with options for the modern parent...
