It’s Canadian Thanksgiving and I wanted to say how thankful I am for your continued love and support. I started on Twitter in 2020 and it quickly became a great place for me to share my funny parenting jokes and stories. Thank you for sticking with me on this journey.

Imagine you own a restaurant. A customer orders a meal and tells you it’s disgusting. They say this is the worst restaurant they’ve ever been to and you’re the worst chef in the world. This is what it’s like cooking for kids.

My 5yo woke up early this morning and was playing very quietly because he didn’t want to wake grandpa. I’d never seen anything like it! Apparently all my son needed to play quietly was an adult in the house that he respected.

Give a toddler a tissue, and they wipe their nose once. Teach a toddler to get their own tissue, and they’ll pull out enough tissues to last them a lifetime.
