What’s a piece of parenting advice you’ve heard that actually worked?
That moment of panic when the house gets too quiet #parenting
It's no good just telling our loved ones that we love them. They need to experience love from us over and over and over. Love is an act of care. Our interactions are opportunities to demonstrate our love on a daily basis.

Percussion discovery is the best. Try silicone tips on those straws to prevent dings on all the “drums”!
Bananas? 🤮
Banana… coins? 🥳
Inventive! Does the humidifier air make them float? Reminds me of the BFG capturing dreams in his jars. Spatula walks though. 😂🤷♂️

Kids can have an entire room full of toys, but it’s always the cardboard box and a forgotten spoon they fight over. What’s the most random thing your kids have turned into a toy?
If you grew up with our Neighbourhood, you may remember how we sometimes talked about difficult things. There were days... Even beautiful days.... That weren't happy. In fact, there were some that were really sad. Well, we've had a lot of days like that in our whole world. We've seen what some people do when they don't know anything else to do with their anger. I'm convinced that when we help our children find healthy ways of dealing with their feelings - ways that don't hurt them or anyone else - we're helping to make our world a safer, better place. Fred Rogers.
There is so much wisdom in this #fredrogers quote.

It’s worth pausing to reflect: what do our purchases say about the values we want to pass on to our kids?
You’re absolutely right. These qualities aren’t exclusive to men. They’re human virtues that we should all aspire to. My point was to challenge the narrow definitions of masculinity and highlight how these traits can reshape how we think about strength and responsibility.
Shout out to our kids’ favorite “how to draw” channel, Art for Kids Hub! We love the positivity and creativity this father shares with his children through art. This weekend, we’re diving into holiday-themed drawings. How do your kids get into the holiday spirit?

Masculinity has long been tied to strength, but true strength isn’t about power or dominance. It’s about using that strength to protect, uplift, and create space for the most vulnerable. Real masculinity is rooted in care, responsibility, and the courage to stand up for what’s right.
Reflection eternal.
Play is how kids learn, grow, and thrive—even when it feels a little risky. This article from the Canadian Paediatric Society explores why outdoor risky play is essential and how to balance safety with opportunity. What are your thoughts on this approach?
