Lil' Strikers teaches more than just soccer skills

Lil' Strikers is more than just soccer lessons - the classes teach kids 18 months to 9 years coordination, listening skills and most importantly (to me) balance through fun games and activities with their parent/caregiver and/or peers. If you're looking for an activity for your kids this year when they are back in school, this could definitely be it.

You know how when you were younger your mom yelled at you, "One day I hope you have a kid just like you!" when you did something wrong or said something that upset her? My Mom never said that to me about my absolute worst fear - that Hannah will be as klutzy as I was am. (Although I do also fear all the times my Mom used that line in regards to my behaviour.)

When I was two, I walked into a wall. When I was 24, I found a letter from my paediatrician about the incident which stated I have a balance problem and injuries resulting from my lack of balance would plague me my entire life (or that's what she wrote in layman's terms). I don't know where that doctor is now, but she was correct. And maybe if Lil' Strikers had existed when I was little my parents would never had to go through that ordeal (or have a whole photo album of me looking like a raccoon).

This past weekend Chris, Hannah and I were able to attend an open house at the Lil' Strikers GTA at their Soccerworld (on Cherry Street) location. There was a clown who did face painting and balloon animals, a colouring station, obstacle courses and of course, the biggest pull, the chance to try out a class.

Disney On Ice #RockinEverAfter (Coupon Code)

March Break is swiftly upon us. How are you going to keep your kids busy when school's out and it's cold outside?

Hannah may only be in daycare (and therefore doesn't get a March Break), but that doesn't mean I'm not excited to attend March Break activities with her!

We are going to her very first, full-lenth ice skating show - Disney On Ice Rockin' Ever After, LIVE in Toronto from March 13-17, 2013 at the Rogers Centre. My cousin is so in love with Disney, she took a whole weekend off work so she can come to Toronto (from a city two hours away) just so she can join us!

GTA moms save with clubmom (Giveaway)

I was never that in to coupons. The only type I used were point-of-sale (my Marketing prof would be so pleased I remember this term). Basically, unless I could get them at the store I never used them.

Then I became a Mom, and I started carrying coupons with me in my wallet. Our fridge is overflowing with diaper, laundry detergent and battery coupons. Now when I make a list I check the fridge to see if we need to buy anything we have a coupon for. And I'm still a point-of-saler. When we go to a certain grocery chain that has a bunch of coupons at the entrance I think I annoy my Mom by the amount of time it takes me to look through them all. I know I annoy Chris, because sometimes said point-of-sale coupons add a purchase that was not originally on our list.
