Girls and body image: one size does not fit all
These days my girls are drooling over Brandy Melville clothes…have you heard of this brand? It’s one of the hottest lines of teen clothing right now, but I think their styles and marketing are contributing to such an unhealthy and unrealistic body image for our daughters.

#NoPhoneFamilyDay campaign

Join Ivivva’s Girl Crew program
Are your girls obsessed with Ivivva clothing? My daughter lives in this stuff. Almost every day she wears something from Ivivva – whether it’s comfy leggings and a long sleeve tee to school or booty shorts (yes, that’s a thing) and a sports bra to dance.

Coasting through winter at Calgary’s new Tube Park
Well, we survived another cold snap! Thank goodness more bearable temperatures are on the way for the weekend. One lucky family recently won my giveaway of a family pass to the Acura Tube Park for #NoPhoneFamilyDay. I hope Elizabeth M and her family have a great day at the park and leave their phones behind…well, maybe one picture is ok 😉

I’ve noticed a trend lately of parents apologizing about their bragging.
