Mom’s the Word…
Welcome to my blog! As a mom of 3 young children, I am constantly looking for more information on parenting, crafts and activities for my children, along with interesting books that I can read to them. This is a place where I can share my findings with you; I hope you enjoy them!
MAGAZINES
I don’t have a lot of time to read; I really wish I could sit down and enjoy a book more often, but I have to tell you, my concentration seems to have met the level of my 2 year old…what?…oh yeah, sorry, I got distracted. See what I mean? Anyway, I have really become a fan of magazines, and not just because they are easier to read than a hardcover in the bathtub. (Tip: Please don’t read library books in the bathtub, because it can become an expensive hobby as they don’t really like water very much! 
)
My favourite parenting magazine is Today’s Parent, a Canadian publication; it is super cheap (so it makes a great gift), full of interesting topics and ideas, and best of all, it is CANADIAN, therefore everything in it is relevant to me. I really hate picking up a magazine, seeing a product or program that is not only going to solve all of my parenting dilemas but will give me the time and money to travel all while losing weight and raising perfect children…well, yes I am exaggerating, but if such a product did exist (and believe me I am looking for it) it is so disheartening to find that such things could only be had in the United States. (It’s bad enough that I can’t apply to be a contestant on the Amazing Race without changing my citizenship; I would really kick butt on that show!!)
Another great thing about Today’s Parent magazine is that they have a terrific website full of awesome tips, crafts, recipes and other excellent information. You can drop in and visit at www.todaysparent.com, or better yet, come by the library and have a gander at the magazine. It will surely become one of your favourite parenting resources!
