This week has been a stressful one and to top it off I’ve spent more hours in front of my laptop than I normally do so to say I am looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend is an understatement. We’ll be doing plenty of Christmas planning and making lists which I am excited about because I freakin’ love Christmas! So no surprise that this week’s The Parent Hood has a bit of a holiday vibe.
1. Finally a radio station that plays The Beatles and Beck and everything in between. U Radio you have a fan in me.
2. An extremely pregnant woman talking to a maternity customer service desk. Hilarious and sooo true!
3. An Oscar-nominated short film of John Lennon’s ramblings. A must-see if you’re a Lennon fan.
As a mother, I have a love/hate relationship with gift giving during the holiday season. While I appreciate friends and family showing their love for Georgie, I don’t appreciate the limitless chaos that normally takes place. That’s why, for the last three years, we have a new tradition when it comes to Christmas shopping. The Four Gifts advice or rule if you will, is one of my favourites and one that has been successfully applied when planning Georgie’s gifts.
