How to Balance Work and a BabyAhahahahahahaha!  Hahahaha! Haha - I just love a good joke.

Before I had my baby I thought balancing motherhood and my career was not going to be a problem.  But, I was a bit nervous about what would happen to my business the first year while I took some time off.  So I got advice from a number of women who were successful in business and somehow managed to keep the momentum going...

When you have a child who suffers from nighttime bedwetting, or enuresis, you need a strategy and one that works. This is especially true when you’re going out with your child - whether it’s a trip to grandma’s, a long weekend at the cottage, or a family vacation to Disneyland.

Nighttime enuresis is a common problem, and all parents can do is try to help our children get through this...

I’m from the Midwest originally, so it wasn’t that unusual to the locals when I married relatively young and started a family fairly soon afterward.  It was a bit of a surprise to my uber cool friends who lived in Toronto, put their noses in the air, and cited lofty goals like Getting Financially Stable or Enjoying My Carefree Adult Years as reasons for delaying marriage...

When I was a little girl, playing make-believe mommy consisted of toting around a life-sized doll who made wee-wee in her overpriced diapers and cried in a garbled mechanical squeal for her pacifier (until my Dad removed the batteries and claimed that every store in the city was sold out of double AAs. Forever.)  Later, it was taking Crystal Barbie to sleepovers and trying on my...

At last you’ve made it through the challenges of potty training, happily tossing out plastic sheets and giving away the last of your diaper stockpile.  Your child is home free, isn’t he? 

For up to 20% of 5 to 10 year-olds, there is another hurdle to clear: nighttime bedwetting.  While the causes are many and can vary even from sibling to sibling, the result is the...

I’m a mom of 3 and work full-time.  Between soccer practices, school events, birthday parties, and tight work deadlines, my motto has to be “Work Hard And Play Hard”.  Especially when 3 teachers from 2 different schools call within the space of 15 minutes asking me to pick up a sick kid from the nurse’s office. 

Yup, some might dub me a ‘Supermom’ but you should know by...

My brother and his family came for a visit recently.  As the first in my immediate and extended family to marry and have children, it's inevitable that my advice is sought by new parents on one topic or another.  I generally sit there with a sympathetic look on my face, and after hearing whatever sorry tale, I proceed to comfortingly dispense my thoughts based on years of trial and...

I have to admit it: I love my new job. While I’m still a regular part of the ChickAdvisor team, I now have a pint-sized Mini-Me in charge of my daily schedule. One who stops traffic with his bi-toothed grin and cheerful “Agoo?”

Once upon a time, my agenda was crammed with fashion events, work lunches, and sales meetings. These days my routine involves working frantically while the...

Sometimes something is just too cute not to share. That's definitely the case with these onesies I found at an Etsy shop called The Wishing Elephant. I just happened to stumble upon them one day and I thought to myself, I must have a child right now and dress them up as a piece of salmon sushi. This needs to happen. 


How can you resist a baby dressed as a piece of sushi on a bed of rice...
