Kids need sleep
If school-aged children don’t get adequate shut-eye, the consequences can be far more dire than the mere annoyance of their frustrated parents.
Marketing to Kids
When today’s parents were growing up, we weren’t courted by countless commercials. Grocery stores didn’t stock food packages covered in cartoon characters at kid’s-eye level. Actors in our favourite TV shows didn’t snack on recognizable brands of junk food.
Mother’s Day on less than $20
This year, do better than just a “thanks,” and show your mother you appreciate her by giving her the most eco-and wallet-friendly gift of all—your time.
The Sandwich Generation
When Naz Deravian became a mom for the first time, she found herself embracing her new baby girl, Luna, and her new role, with utter joy. But the 36-year-old actor was also worried about her own mom, who at the time was undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
Loving Libraries
Mister B., our public school librarian, was a dorky yet lovable guy. My friend Elise and I used to tease him, making up little stories about his adventures in the library and creating his likeness on Elise's brand new Amiga computer.

Men are discovering that taking care of their families is much more than bringing home a paycheque-it takes emotional and spiritual strength, too.

My 15-year-old granddaughter Katrina is a bookworm. She loves John Grishamand must have read most of his books, her favourites being The Testament andThe Brethren.
