Some mornings I snuggle my daughter and think to myself “what learning opportunities can I provide today to help shape you into a strong independent woman?” Other mornings I rub my temples and exclaim “It’s a bridge day!” Despite only being 1,119 feet long…..in the last decade, I’ve stretched MILES

Having children ten years apart allows me a unique perspective when it comes to the progression of annual events and festivals here in our fine city. Case and point: The Children’s Festival. Ten years ago, hand in hand with my toddler son, I would navigate this four-day event and…. Ill

Getting a behind the scenes tour of a puppet theatre production still makes me feel like I’m getting away with something I shouldn’t. I know it’s literally just regular people with their hands in the air, but to me, it feels like I’m watching magicians explaining their slight-of-hand trickery. Have

Easter Weekend has come and gone and with it, Saskatoon’s longest running annual Easter Weekend spectacular- The Draggins Rod & Custom Car Show. I love this event in a ‘circle of life’ kind of way, because, as my father used to take me, I now take my son…and my father.

I’m seven years old…it’s Christmas morning…and maniacally torn wrapping paper reveals the iconic transformer Optimus Prime (leader of the Autobots, thank you very much) Santa had come through!

Until you have kids you never truly appreciate the ‘art’ of a successful play area/play structure. I’m talking about those multi-level primary coloured fortresses made out of plastic and netting and ropes and slides and giant tubes and ball pits. Pre-kids, you walk right by them – usually with your

Covering the Christmas-themed festivities at the Western Development Museum seems pretty straightforward – there’s a gigantic Christmas tree in Boom Town and there’s a room full of animatronic 1970’s Eaton’s Department Store window Christmas displays.(still functional today thanks to regular repairs and straight-up magic) While these two attractions remain up

It’s bizarre how something as simple as the passing of time can make things appear creepy. Exhibit A: old-timey toys. Just imagine children of yesteryear tearing opening their Christmas presents and squealing with delight at the sight of any of those wooden nightmares. Seems almost morbid, right? I realize toy
