Yup, 'tis the season for holiday fueled everything. Today we continue with even more Christmas talk. Is it too early to be done shopping and wrapping?

Write in with your holiday parenting stories to [email protected].

Is your tree up already? Is your car/house/office/morning playlist filled with holiday tunes? Are you wandering through the stores with a list of people to buy for? Or are staying chill until mid December with all the festive nonsense? Whether you decorate the day after Halloween, or you have little interest in being holly jolly, the holiday season is upon us. When do you start your holiday prep? No matter how much you try to escape it, the holiday warm and fuzzies are here! Write in with some parent wins, fails, and holiday stories to [email protected].

Do your kids hate wearing coats to school? Do they loathe trying on last year's snow pants to see if they still fit? How many cozy sweaters in your closet is too much? The answer to that one is, the limit does not exist. If you live in any kind of northern region, you're probably noticing the days cooling off, maybe some frost on your car in the morning, and the resurgence of gloves.

You'd think by now we'd have nothing left to talk about with Halloween...well apparently that's not true. Thanks to these new and improved shorter episodes, we have enough chit chat to fill time! What kind of Halloween shenanigans are you getting up this year? What's your favourite candy to swipe from your offspring's trick or treat bag? Do you like candy corn? We hope you all have a super fun and safe Halloween! Write in with your parenting wins, fails, or just stories to [email protected]

The air is crisp, the cozy sweaters have made an appearance, and maybe you've even tuned the heat on in your car in the morning...IT'S FALL! With this time year also comes family trips to pumpkin patches and apple orchards. Today we talk about this phenomenon to get the kiddos dressed up and drive out to the local farm to to partake in corn mazes and hay rides. Is this a year tradition for you? How long did you continue before it lost it's magic? Tell us your fall family fun days by writing to [email protected].

OMG, we were gone for soooo long guys! We both needed a break and we took a longer break than we were hoping, but it was well deserved. We're back and we're excited to bring you all some fun new episodes. We'll be releasing episodes every other week now instead of weekly, and I'll be posting on Wednesday instead of Sundays...just trying to shake things up, I'm such a rebel. Any way, I hope you're all excited to hear our voices in your ears once again! Don't forget you can write to us anytime via email at [email protected]. We'd love to hear your parenting stories...maybe we'll even share some.

First, after this episode we will be on a bit of a summer break. It won't be super long, I will be back sooner, probably with Kevan because we live in the same house and it's easier, and Elvina will be back a few weeks later. So if you notice some quiet, don't worry, we all need a breather once in awhile.

Now, the episode!

Stress. We all experience it, we have ways we deal with it, but what about kids? What stresses our kids out? How do they cope? How can we help them? Whether it's school, friends, or events that are happening in the world, we have to remember kids experience the same things we do...they just might not know how to cope. We have to help them understand that being overwhelmed is ok, and there are ways to deal with these feelings. Make sure they feel safe and talk to them about how they are feeling.

Do your kids feel strongly about things? Are they itching to go to a march for a cause? Or maybe they're like mine and they just care about what Pokémon card they traded with their friends that day. Sometimes the small things you do for your community get overlooked, but really you're thinking locally instead of trying to make big global impacts. Whatever you do to help your kids become more aware of the world around them and how create change, make sure you do it at a level you can also participate in. Let us know what causes and movements you're involved with and how you involve your offsprings. Find us on Instagram and Facebook, or write to us at [email protected].

Today we discuss the decline in Home Economic type classes in schools, and the benefit they have on our kids. I'm sure some form of life skills are taught, but from what we can tell, these classes aren't offered as often any more. Why not? Unless we're taking the time to teach our kids how to cook, change tires, balance a budget, and just basic life skills at home, school is the next best place. As we discuss in the episode, make it a compulsory class for everyone to take and make it well rounded for everyone to enjoy it. When we think "Home Ec." our minds go to a room full of girls learning to cook muffins while mending aprons, but it doesn't have to be like that. If your school still offers these classes, that's awesome, if it doesn't, what are your thoughts? Would your child benefit from a life skills type class...maybe call it somethings like "Life Skills Sciences" to make it more generic. Let us know what you think and if you had classes like this in school. Find us on Facebook and Instagram, or email us at [email protected].
