Parenting Coach Alyson Schafer

I've had the opportunity to hear Alyson Schafer speak twice. She's wonderful; full of insight and wisdom, she doles out sensible advice and solutions to parents with humor and sensitivity.
If you ever have an opportunity to hear her speak, its well worth taking.
She's a psychotherapist and one of Canada's leading parenting experts. She's the author of the best-selling "Breaking the Good Mom Myth" (Wiley, 2006) and the new "Honey I Wrecked The Kids" (Wiley, 2009). Her popular TV call-in show The Parenting Show is now in its sixth season.
Check out her website www.alyson.ca for more information.

Amazing Sale on Crocs

I went to the Revlon Warehouse Sale today and there were great deals to be had! Tylenol for $3.00, Neutrogena Sunscreen for $5.00, but the best deal was on the crocs. $16.00 each or two for $30.00.  If you've been watching, you'll know that the regular price is between $29.99 and $34.99. I bought 4 pairs. One each for my kids, a pair for next summer for the older one and a pair for my neighbour's child.

Niko's Catering

Last weekend we hosted my younger son's baptism. Unlike the first time 3 years ago, my husband and I decided to spend a bit more money and have someone else take care of the food. Well! Let me tell you how worthwhile that was. We decided on Greek for a variety of reasons, but mostly because we live close to Greektown and as they say, 'when in Rome' (or Greece in our case)... 
We ordered from Niko's Catering and it was fantastic. For $15 per person they gave us stuffed chicken breasts, rice, potatoes, salad, vegetables, bread, butter, plates, cutlery, napkins, spanakopita and cheese in phyllo pastry. A ton of food with a ton of leftovers. The food arrived on time, hot and fresh. The person who delivered it was friendly and professional and she came right into the house and set up everything for us, even slicing the bread. They came back the next day and took all the dishes and empty food containers away - cleaning up for us! That alone was worth it! Every single person at the baptism commented on how tasty the food was and there was plenty for everyone. I would highly recommend Niko's to anyone and would absolutely hire them again!

THIS JUST IN: Toxic flame retardants found in 80% of baby products - USATODAY.com

Check out this article:
New testing shows that (too) many baby products containing foam (think: nursing pillows, car seats, changing pads) also contain toxic flame retardant chemicals. I don't know about you, but I'll take my baby products *without* the toxic flame retardants, please.

I was on my way to another bakery to buy some cupcakes when I realized I was right in front of a cupcake shoppe. Well, I should have kept going. I bought six cupcakes for a reasonable $16, but they were the worst cupcakes I've ever bought. I would have been better off going to Loblaws. I bought the chocolate cupcakes and they barely tasted like chocolate and they were dry. The icing was supposed to be buttercream, but all I tasted was icing sugar and oil.
The gift part of the store is adorable and worth a visit, but I'd stay away from the swirl cupcakes.
