Blue Monday - Marketing Genius or the Most Depressing Day of the Year?
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere January typically feels like the looooooongest month of the year. The holiday season is over, the new year has begun, and we are just coming down from the month of December — for many, a month of parties, comradery, and general merriment. We are generous of spirit, in both our time and our finances.

This Toddler Has The Best Opening Line I’ve Ever Heard
My friend’s four-year-old officially has the best opening line I’ve ever heard in my life. On Facebook today, one of my friends posted “[kid’s name]’s opening line on the playground is “Hey, do you want to talk about ghosts?” I wonder how that’ll hold up in 10 years lol.”

Nappy New Year!
I know. I know….cheesy title right? But I had to do it because it just fit all too well—and this is a guide on how to get in more naps this New Year. Yes that’s right, that painfully dreaded word, by anyone under the age of 18 that is. I remember being under eighteen—once. My parents would go on a much needed respite from parenting and leave us with our Aunt Monica. She was single and never had any children of her own, but somehow she “knew” parenting at best required every non-adult (that’s 17 and under) to take afternoon naps. Not sure what parenting magazine she was reading, but it was enforced like a cop on quota (no offense to cops…we all have a job to do)! It never failed and we always went down kicking and screaming. Now that I’m a parent, I understand the STRICT enforcement—it gives the “adult” (that’s me) a break…and maybe it does some good for the kid too! As you age and hit adulthood the NAP becomes a cherished and sought after thing. No longer are you going down kicking and screaming; you are kicking and screaming to go down, even if it’s for just 10 minutes. Crazy how things change…right? Or did they change at all?
