Day 14: Preserve Memories
Day 14 of Becoming a Better Parent Preserve memories…Pictures, traditions, holidays — how do YOU and YOUR FAMILY preserve memories? My family has a lot of tradition and routine. From Fathers Day golf tournaments and New Years Eve cousin potlucks to Easter game tournaments and Christmas. For example at Christmas; every year we all sleep at my moms house the night before and read the same stories. Everyone gets to open one gift which is usually pyjamas and we take a picture of all the girls in their matching sets. We then wake up, open stockings. Then its coffee, and gifts. First...
Read MoreDay 13: Define Family Values
Day 13 of Becoming A Better Parent Define family values… I have touched on values a few times in the first 12 so take a read at what Dad of Divas has to say… “Family values are things that are many times passed down from generation to generation, and they play a monumental role in how your child learns and grows.

Is it having an hour to yourself every day to work out or go for a walk? Is it socializing and having nights...

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! So it’s Thanksgiving for my fellow Canadians! I want to know all about your family meals and traditions… For my family, we usually get together at my moms house, or at my Aunt and Uncle’s house. We usually get together at about 4pm, and that is when the wine and appetizers start flowing and the Football gets turned on. What I love most about our group of loved ones is you can always expect that there will be a “random” or a “floater”. These are friends who do not have anyone to spend the day with! They get to join in on our...
