Start Your Little Ones Off On The Right Foot by Carrie Russell
|
|
|  When your life is focused on diapers, feedings and getting your wailing infant to sleep through the night, university can seem a long way away. But, this is actually the ideal time to start saving for your child's education. Thanks to the power of compound interest, government grants and a good financial advisor, my guys are well on their way to attending the post-secondary schools of their choice with much of their expenses paid for. Here's how...

Wish Bedding
When I was pregnant with my daughter I made the decision to leave my job and be a stay-at-home mom. I knew if I was a great mom, that would be life's biggest reward.

Mummy Wins a Girls' Night Out
|
|
|
|
 We're giving away a girl's night out for you and five friends to see Love, Loss, and What I Wore at the Panasonic Theatre in Toronto, plus, you'll get to meet and have drinks with some of the cast members after the show.
Based on the best-selling book by Ilene Beckerman, this theatrical event is an intimate collection of stories by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron (you may recall a few small movies they wrote like Julie and Julia, You've Got Mail and Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants).
Using clothes and the memories they trigger, Love, Loss and What I Wore tells both funny and poignant stories, from the irony of sleeveless turtlenecks: "Are you hot or are you cold? Make up your mind!" to the heartbreaking story of a woman who wore long boots and short skirts until the night she was raped. It's The Vagina Monlogues meets Sex And The City - only with less vajajays and more clothes.
