There is a great new Canadian original series for preschoolers on Disney Junior called Justin Time!

My children and I were given the opportunity to see the show before its premiere and oh boy, was it a hit! As you may recall from previous posts, my children watch very mild shows for their age and we like to find things with an educational aspect.

At our house, there is no shortage of stuffed animals. My little ones refer to them as “stuffies”. Sometimes, I wish I could hide them all because they just take over the home! But alas, I remember being a little one too.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to write about something so important: money! Surprised? It’s not necessarily something people like to talk about, but it is very important to discuss it with your children. I’m sure some of you are thinking, ‘well, not when they are so young’. And to that response I have to disagree.

I had intended to only write Valentine posts leading up to the 14th. But, I couldn’t let this tremendous moment in music history pass without mentioning it. When I was in grade school, my religion teacher brought in a song for us to hear from a new and upcoming artist.…
