A buddy forwarded the following link to me regarding 101 Tips For Improving Children’s Behaviour (http://www.parentingideas.org/articles/discipline/101-tips-for-improving-childrens-behaviour/)
The site www.ParentingIdeas.org is very well done and is well worth bookmarking if you are a parent.
 As for some of my permalinks, it looks like my upgrade to WordPress 2.0 kind of had some issues.  I am working on them and […]

For those of you who planned ahead enough to get a babysitter (good for you!) here is what I have been able to find regarding things to do.
As a Couple:
Brookstreet in Kanata is a really nice place and if you are looking for a fancy place to go (and are not to worried about your […]

*** Update: Thanks to a comment from Catherine (Thanks Catherine), I now know that there is a site similar to the one I ask for below. The site is done by CHUM and the A-Channel. It is called: http://www.busdelay.ca. For Ottawa area schools go here: http://www.busdelay.ca/ottawa/viewboard.php?cID=40

Here is just a little Shockwave game I was emailed. I thought I would throw it up on my site for you to enjoy. For background information on the game (or alternate versions… like the gory version, …) go to: http://penguin.omnihosts.net/

A local Ottawa guy has a really great website that will help you surprise your family over the holidays. It will take some practice, but with Mark’s instructions, you should be able to Solve the Rubik’s Cube for your family in a reasonable amount of time.

I was at the Kanata Centrum last night and (because a friend - Hi Angela - told me that there was a new kids play structure (similar to Cosmic Adventures) just outside the AMC Cinemas. So, I swung by in search of information.
It has not yet opened, but looks like a […]

My daughter brought home some SK “math homework” a few days ago it turned out to basically be a game of snakes and ladders. We played 9 […]

Ok, so I am writing this for the second time! I clicked on one of the links I was putting in the entry, and it launched in my current IE Window and I lost the whole entry. Argh!!! So here we go again… (I have to remember to change that setting in […]

I’m kind of lazy. Not sure if lazy is the right word, I just don’t like to do more work than is needed. But I do commit myself to doing enough work that I can’t really label myself as lazy, more of a “quickest path” kind of guy (but not quite enough of […]

Ok. There is no question that this is going to sell many many copies before Christmas. It only makes sense. Wait a year to release the DVD and sell it at a time when people are looking for a good themed gift and a solid choice.
I have to say, I […]

Once again it is time for the Big Guy to make his arrival in Ottawa, Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven, Stittsville, Kemptville, Gatineau and the rest of the city. This entry will be updated periodically with more information as I get it. Here is what I have so far regarding the Help Santa Toy Parade […]

I know, I know, if you want to write a letter to Santa, you can write to:

To: Santa Claus
North Pole H0H 0H0
Canada
*As long as you have your return address, Santa will write back

He also has email now! Just have the kids fill out the online form. It seems to be a bit impersonal, […]

Remembrance Day Ceremony – 11 […]

November is Flu awareness month. Ok, maybe not, but it might as well be. The season will soon be upon us, so you might as well do what you can to avoid your holiday season either spreading or catching the latest bug to hit the nation.
The City of Ottawa has a […]

If your kids are young, you might want to have a look at what the malls are doing for Halloween. It is still nice to take the kids out for some good old fashioned Trick or Treating in the neighbourhood, but the malls are offering some great alternatives that your kids may end […]
