Children’s feet grow very quickly. Next time you walk past a shoe store with your child, pop in and have his/her foot measured. When your mom calls to say she found some great children’s shoes on sale she would love to buy for your children, you’ll know exactly what size to tell her to buy.

Don’t over commit yourself. It’s better to do fewer things calmly and accurately. Tomorrow is another day.
Line up to check out? Subway slow? Buses busy? Keep a notebook with you so you can jot notes for other projects, thoughts, lists or activities while waiting. Ideas often come to us while our brains are supposed to be concentrating on other things.
When planning your schedule for the day, allow time to get from one place to the next: anticipate traffic delays.
Headed for a workout in the morning? Whether you go to the gym or hit the pavement/park for a run or bike, lay out your gear the night before – all of it including clothes, socks, shoes, gloves, keys, phone, shower gear, work clothes and anything else you need to take. You’ll be primed when you wake up and can go on autopilot until the endorphins kick in.
Take advantage of the time delay features on dishwashers and washing machines to get chores done when hydro rates are low, but you’re busy with more pressing matters — like homework, bedtime, or reading a good book.
Struggling to find time to weed the garden? Try using 15 minutes a day to tackle whatever weeds you can pull in a quarter hour. By the end of the week you will have invested over an hour of weed pulling!
If you have to drop something off somewhere, leave it in your car. It’s so much easier to drop something off when you’re in the neighbourhood, instead of making a special trip.
At the end of the day, spend 15 minutes writing down the top 3 things you want to accomplish tomorrow. You’ll wake up with purpose and focus.
We just celebrated my son’s birthday with a big party at an indoor carnival. Despite having the party outside of our home, there was still a lot to do. Most importantly, you have to start planning early. These venues are booked far in advance of the actual celebration. So, what do you need to consider when scouting around for a party location? Here are a few things you will want to keep in mind:
· Is there a dedicated party room?
· Is there a sink in the room?
· Will you have to share the space with other patrons?
· Is food provided, or do you need to supply your own?
· Will you have access to a fridge?
· Will there be a staff member assigned to look after your party guests?
· Where are the washrooms?
· Is there somewhere for coats, presents and loot bags to be safely stored?
Answering these questions will let you know if you’ve found the right place for your party and exactly how much will be left for you to sort out before the big day.
