You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way! ~  Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

We eat out. Often. On average we eat out as a family at least once or twice a week.  We eat out at a wide variety of places, from sports bars, and diners to fancy Italian restaurants. We don't tend to eat at big chain restaurants. We take our kids to the same places we enjoyed eating before becoming parents, and this doesn't usually involve balloons, candy or clowns.  What I'm trying to say is we on a regular basis take our kids to "real" restaurants, ones you might think of skipping with little ones. And it works. We often get compliments from strangers and waitstaff on how well-behaved our kids are when eating out.

March Break is almost upon us and whether heading out of town on a special vacation, or enjoying a staycation at home, I'm guessing eating out at a restaurant or two is probably part of your holiday plans. So I thought I'd share some of my sneaky "how to keep young kids happy in a restaurant" strategies with you.

My toddler happily waiting for her food while dining-out out.

1. Pick the place.
I have two ways I judge whether my kids are welcome or not; is their a kids menu? and do they have highchairs?  You can do a little cyber-sleuthing, check out the menu online and see if there are any kids options listed. This doesn't always work though, as many places hand out paper colouring sheet menus to the kids. I find the one sure-fire method is to call and ask, "Do you have highchairs?" A positive answer means little kids are definitely welcome there.

2. Timing is everything.
Plan your meals out for off-times. Walking into a "fancy" restaurant with two little ones in tow on a slow Tuesday afternoon will get you a far better reception then say Friday night during the dinner rush. The other timing factor I always try and keep in mind is the all important nap-time. When my kids don't sleep they are miserable. I time meals out around their sleeping schedules, and try not to head out when I know they are cranky.

3. Use the buddy system. 
Whenever possible we pair off, one parent per child. This way one of us is always available to pay each child attention and to give a hand if they need help with their food. This works because I have an awesome husband who doesn't mind spending half of his meal cutting up someone else's pancakes.

Baby-G enjoying attention from her Dad while we eat out at a local sport's bar. A minimum of one adult per child seems to be the ideal formula.

4. Forget the kid's menu.
Occasionally I'm surprised to find a really rockin' kid's menu. One that includes juice or milk in the price instead of fountain pop. One that contains food I myself wouldn't mind eating. More often the kids menu is a huge disappointment, heavy on the french fries and questionable chicken nuggets. So while I'm happy to see a place with a kid's menu, as I know it means my little ones are welcome, I rarely actually order from it. Instead we either ask for substitutions, or skip the kids menu all-together.

A regular menu item split between the two girls is usually a cheaper and yummier choice. Or sometimes we order appetizers for their meal. My daughter loves the handmade fishcakes at one restaurant we frequent, hummus is another solid choice. Ordering additional items on the side of your adult order also works well. For example one place we go to offers marinated pork loin on their breakfast menu. For a dollar something you can add a piece to your order. Which I cut up and serve to the toddler. Voila, breakfast is served.

When we do order off the kids menu I often ask for substitutions. Why, oh why, has every restaurant decided that the secret to keeping my kid happy is french fries??  For example there's this great Mexican place just down the road. Their kids menu has all sorts of fantastic options, like fresh tacos and quesadillas , but everything is served with french fries. Fries aren't available anywhere else on the menu, yet they serve them with the kids dishes.  I've learnt to ask for the Mexican rice or refried beans instead, and they happily substitute at no additional cost.

5. Have a fall back food.
When our first child was a baby we happened on a really great strategy that we used from when she was about 11 months old until she was two. We ordered her eggs. Absolutely everywhere. Regardless of the time of day. Regardless of whether or not eggs were actually on the menu. Restaurants always have eggs on hand and no one ever said no to our somewhat odd request. Which also had the happy side-effect of being dirt cheap.

6. Bring your own drinks. 
Because my girls are still in the sippy cup phase I find we can get away with bringing outside drinks into most establishments. I've been doing this for over four years now and so far no one has every said a peep. This is great on so many levels. Yes it saves us a couple of bucks per meal, but it also means I know what my girls are drinking. At home I buy 100% fruit juice and water it down by about half. When I buy juice in a restaurant often enough it isn't really juice but rather fruit cocktail. Also, trying to water down their drinks at the table is messy and annoying. Finally, even some of the most kid-friendly restaurants fail when it comes to drinks. They serve the kids beverages in glass containers that are not only breakable but often too heavy for little hands.  Straws are too tall and not bendy, which means I end up stuck holding the drink off to the side of the table so my little one can have a sip. I realize as they're getting older that I am going to have to retire this strategy soon, so sad.

Cranberry cocktail served in breakable glassware at at an awkward angle, a good argument for why I always try and remember to pack pre-filled sippy cups.

7. Bring snacks.
Bringing snacks to a restaurant may sound weird, but carrying a sandwich bag full of small crackers or cereal pieces has saved me from many a toddler melt down. Sometimes the food just doesn't come quick enough for my two year old. Sometimes the grown-ups at the table get salads and soups that are served before the kids meals. I've yet to find a restaurant that would prefer watching my daughter have a fit, vs. me sneaking Cheerios on to her breadplate.

8. Bring your own silverware. 
My four year old will often use regular adult size silverware at home. The two year old on the other hand is still getting the hang of it, and prefers toddler sized cutlery. Yet when eating out I try to have kid-sized silverware on hand for both of them just in case. My preschooler loves eating at Japanese and Chinese restaurants, and one of her favourite parts of the meal is the soups they serve.  However the giant porcelain spoons they serve the soup with just aren't made for little mouths. She also hasn't quite mastered chopsticks yet, and would definitely prefer if I can hand her a fork. Finally, some restaurant cutlery is very large and very heavy. One of our favourite family-friendly diner's uses forks that are sized for giants. I myself find them big and clumsy to use. For the kids they're just impossible.  The hardest part here is remembering to clean it off and put it back in your purse before you leave. I've had to chase down the bus-boy to get my kid's silverware back on more then one occasion.
 
9. Leave the toys at home.
I know some folks are going to disagree with me on this point, but for the most part I expect my kids to sit quietly, chat and keep company with others at the table, and enjoy their meals. When they were very young babies I used to bring small quiet toys for them to play with. As each child has gotten old enough to join us at the table while eating, we've set the toys aside as I think bringing toys sets a tone that this is a place to play, which is not what I want my kids doing while we're in a restaurant. Some restaurants do offer the kids crayons to colour with and that's an added bonus. I also do sometimes carry crayons in my purse, and I've been known to break out the iPod to keep a fussy kid occupied, but I try and keep it to a minimum. I'm really trying to teach my children that sitting at the table at the restaurant is a wonderful time to talk to each other.

Chatting with my preschooler while having breakfast at the local diner.

10. Be willing to admit defeat.
My kids are great little restaurant go-ers 99.8% of the time. That other 0.2% of the time, well I'm willing to get a to-go box if need be. Sometimes you discover that you're kids just aren't in the right mindset for eating out. I would rather head home and finish dinner there then spend the next forty-five minutes to an hour stressing out over questionable behaviour. We've only had to actually follow through on this once or twice. My kids know when I explain that they need to behave quietly and respect the other folks at the restaurant that are there to enjoy a nice meal I mean business and I really will just leave if they're misbehaving.

11. Pace yourself.
My four year old eats like a snail. A snail that's really taking it's own sweet time. The two year old on the other hand inhales her food and is often done before anyone else. This has a couple of effects upon our eating arrangements. First, we know that eating out with our four year old daughter is going to take an hour minimum. She's a slow eater, and trying to speed her up just doesn't work. So it's best to just acknowledge the fact and flow with it.  Sometimes this means if we don't have time for a leisurely meal we don't eat out. Other times this means getting three-quarters of her meal boxed to go and letting her finish up once we're at home.  It also means that the two year old will almost always finish first, and sometimes be upset that her sister is still eating. Which brings me to my final strategy...

12. Bring dessert. 
Often the fancy restaurant deserts aren't really that kid-friendly. My kids prefer simple cookies to rich cakes, and they don't really enjoy ice cream. Again, suggesting you bring in outside food may sound like a horrible plan but having something on hand to give the kids for dessert is never a bad idea. Particularly if any of the adults at the table are planning to indulge. Sometimes this is as simple as setting aside some of what they liked best from dinner. Baby really digging the cauliflower? Then I set a bit aside to break out when everyone else starts in on the cheesecake. Or sometimes this means bringing back out that bag of cereal or crackers for an end of meal snack.

I know some of you are going to think I'm either crazy or rude for suggesting folks bring outside food into a restaurant, but it's what works for me and no one has ever complained. Quite to the contrary, I've had servers and restaurant owners compliment me for thinking ahead.

Now, I haven't tried this one yet, but next time I'm thinking of smuggling in Kinder Surprise eggs as the perfect desert time distraction. Chocolate plus toy, should equal more then enough peaceful time for mom and dad to enjoy their own treat.

Autumn arrives in early morning, but Spring at the close of a Winter day. ~ Elizabeth Bowen

G-Girl and I were discussing Baby-G's upcoming birthday and the prospects of cake, when things got slightly off topic...

Me:  I love chocolate cake with coffee. It's one of my favourite treats.

G-Girl: Well, I love chocolate cake too!

Me: How much?  Do you just like it a little bit?

G-Girl: No I love it LOTS I love it.... Thirty!

Me: Oh, hmm... Is there anything you love more then chocolate cake?

G-Girl: Daddy, I love Daddy thirty away!

Me: Oh really, who else do you love?

G-Girl: Baby-G, past a day.

<pause>

G-Girl: What about mommy? Ask me how much I love you mom!

Me: Ok, how much do you love me?

G-Girl: I love you one-tee-four-tee. I love you forty away... when you're in the county!

<pause>

G-Girl: Now ask me how I love me!!

Me: Ok, how much do you love G-Girl?

G-Girl: Thirty-hundred!!!!

At which point she broke into delirious giggles.

For the record, I have no clue what most of this means.  Loving something thirty away, um I guess that's good, right? I think it all comes of reading Guess How Much I love You, with nut brown hares that say things like, "I love you all the way to the moon and back." At least I can rest easy, knowing she's got that whole self-love thing down pat.

Heads up! You don't want to miss this one. Jilly Bo Billy Boutique, one of my all time favourite online kids clothing stores, is having a big sale for Family Day weekend.

50-75% off her already discounted prices, plus free shipping!

Jilly Bo Billy Boutique is a Canadian online retailer that sells boutique brand name kids clothes at discounted prices. A sale like this knocks her already discounted prices down further, into the realm of holy cow that's reasonable and how can I not buy it?? The only draw back of the site is that the clothing is available in limited sizes. You need to hunt through and check the sizes available on each piece. However, the adorable outfits and reasonable prices make it totally worth taking the extra time to look around.


These Misha Lulu Hello Kitty dresses make me squee. They're only available in size 8 and my oldest is currently only a size 4, but I am very tempted to buy a piece or two to set aside for later. (Ok, that last one is available in 12-18months as well, but that doesn't work for me either.)  There are bunch of other adorable Hello Kitty themed items available, not to mention all the other irresistible outfits currently on sale from brands like Decaf Plush, Deux Par Deux, Loves Me Not, Misha Lulu, Oilily, One Kid, and PomPom in various sizes from infants to tweens.

Remember the sales ends on Monday, Feb.20th, so be sure to head on over and check it out right now - www.jillybobilly.com. I'm pretty excited about the birthday dress I just picked out for Baby-G. Let me know if you luck out and find something awesome in just the right size for your little one.

There are SO MANY reasons I am excited about this film. First, it was made in Japan by a production company called Studio Ghibli. I love Japanese animation, and over the years Studio Ghibli has produced some simply stunning films, many of which are on my all time favourites list (Such as Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service and Spirited Away).

Secondly the film is based off of one of my favourite kid's books, The Borrowers by Mary Norton. (You remember The Littles Saturday morning cartoon from back in the 80s? Yeah that was based on the same book.) It's a wonderful series, which I loved reading when I was a kid and one that I would highly recommend sharing with your little one.


Walt Disney studios has ported the film over to North America by adding in English voice-acting. My plans for this weekend include talking my husband into going to the show, as I refuse to miss the chance to see this in theatres! I want to bring my four year old daughter, for what will be her first in the theatre film experience. From the clips that I've seen I can tell this is going to be a beautiful film, well worth seeing on the big screen.

I'm curious to know if any of my readers are Studio Ghibli fans, and if so... which of their films is your fav? Anyone else making plans to see The Secret World of Arrietty?

Got Valentine's Day out of the way? Great, because February is not just about hearts and flowers, it's also about the health of your heart. To help commemorate Heart Month, The Heart and Stroke Foundation wants Canadians to help them to reach their goal -- one million actions to Make Death Wait.

A recent Heart and Stroke Foundation survey, that revealed Canadians aren’t making time for healthy choices, which is contributing to the fact that heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women, and the cause of 1 in 3 deaths in this country.

This is a cause that is near and dear to my heart. Over a year ago now my dad had a stroke. A few months later my mother in law also had a stroke. These were life changing events for everyone involved. We were lucky in that both of them are still here today.


As I'm writing this we're halfway through the month of February, and the Heart and Stroke Foundation is about halfway to it's goal of a million actions against death. Do your part, help spread the word and for your own sake - take a healthy action to help make death wait. I urge you to sign up now to access your personalized action page, where you can:

• Take a free Heart&Stroke Risk Assessment
• Try a heart-healthy recipe
• Discover new physical activities to try
• Read stories of real people who have experienced heart disease or stroke
• Download the HSF Facebook app and find out who's at risk in your network

For each person that takes the heart and stroke risk assessment during the month of February, Desjardins Financial is donating $1 to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. I took the assessment and was happy to find that I was "in the green". However, it did show areas that I could improve in. Back in November I discovered that I have high cholesterol, so I've been following a low cholesterol diet, more or less. According to the risk assessment test, I still need to work on eating more fruits and vegetables. I also need to lose weight and I need to become more physically active.


Apparently it's not just how much you weigh, but WHERE the extra weight is. Studies have shown that extra weight around the waistline is more dangerous to the heart than extra weight that is on the hips and thighs. This was news to me. I really appreciated the extra info on a healthy waist size, and how to take a proper waist measurement (here's a hint, it has nothing to do with pants size). It's something I didn't have a clue how to do, so the instructional video was quite helpful. Check out the HSF page on healthy waists to learn more.

I have been trying my darnedest with this low cholesterol diet thing. I've put the salt-shaker in the back of the cupboard and gone low-sodium on everything. I've cut out eggs, butter, full-fat cheese and dairy, and I'm sticking to fish, chicken and the occasional lean cuts of red meat. I'm not doing bad at feeding myself, but I've been at a bit of a loss as to what to cook for family meals. I'm just having a hard time bringing it all together. I know what not make...but not what to make, if that makes sense.  So I was really happy to see the Heart and Stroke Foundation has a large selection of heart-healthy recipes, which have all been reviewed and approved by dietitians, and are high in fibre and low in saturated fat, cholesterol and salt. I am browsing through the list and picking a handful to try out, as I make next weeks grocery list. They have everything here from Shepherd's Pie and Honey Garlic Pork Roast to Egg White Souffle and Mini Breakfast Burritos. Yum.


Again, I urge you to go check out the Make Death Wait website, take the Heart & Stroke assessment test, and make an action against death. If the idea of prolonging your life isn't incentive enough, I've got a lovely bribe which the HSF has provided. A $150 prize pack to give away to one lucky Maple Leaf Mommy reader.

To enter simply Register at the HSF's Make Death Wait website, then come back here and leave a comment telling me what you personally are doing to help Make Death Wait. I want to hear what heart healthy action you've decided to take on. Let's help inspire on another. I know I need to get more physically active, so my first heart healthy action: 30 minutes of dancing with my kids. Healthy hearts and smiles all around.

The HSF also has some awesome online tools to help with weight loss or blood pressure management. Multi-Testing Mommy has been posting a weekly series, blogging about her weight loss journey while using the healthy weight action plan. Check out her Let's Get Healthy Together series, it's inspiring stuff.

I was busy cooking dinner when suddenly I noticed it was very quiet, which as every mother knows is not a good sign.


And just for the record, it took me over an hour to get all the stickers off the hardwood. Sigh.

I felt obliged to share this, as I've given away TASSIMO machines on here in the past, and have many times publicly declared my love for their brewers.

TASSIMO issued two huge product recalls yesterday, one for their brewer machines and one for some of the T DISCs as well. 

The brewer recall is for TAS100x, TAS451x, TAS46x, TAS200x and TAS651 machines with date codes FD 8806 through FD9109. Apparently the "plastic disc that holds the coffee or tea can burst and spray hot liquid and coffee grounds or tea leaves". 140 people across North America have gotten burned, some quite badly.  You can read the official Health Canada recall notice here.

Check here, on the recall section of the TASSIMO site, to see if your machine's been recalled. If your machine is on the recall list they ask that you do not use it until you've received the free replacement T DISC holder they will send to you in the mail.


There is also a separate T DISC recall. Some espresso T DISCs were manufactured incorrectly and could explode during brewing. These include espresso T DISCs from Nabob, Gevalia and Maxwell House. They may have been sold as espresso, or they may have been packaged as cappuccino or latte, or within variety packs. The defective T DICS were sold at retailers across Canada and the United States from August 2011 through February 2012.

Applying for the T DISCs recall is a bit more complex. You need to check the codes either on the inside of the box, or on the foil lids of the individual T DISCs (You can check your codes here on the official TASSIMO T DISC recall page).


If your T DISCs are on the recall list and you have just one package worth to claim (aka 8 T DISCs or less), you simply register online and they send you a coupon good for one free package of T DISCs (retail value up to $11.99).  If you have multiple packs, or more then 8 T DISCs to claim, then you need to register online and they will send you a prepaid mailer. You fill the mailer up with the recalled T DISCs and mail it back to them, and then they will send you a refund cheque. It's a bit more complicated then that, and I would really recommend carefully reading the T DISC Refund FAQ if this part of the recall applies to you.

For further info check out the recall section of the TASSIMO wesbite, or the official Health Canada recall notices for the Brewer and the recall notice for the T DISCS.

I am really finicky about scents. Most scented products, from household cleaners, to shampoo and body wash, make me feel nauseous. I have been searching for a gentle, all natural body wash to use on my daughters. I have tried a couple of different supposedly "unscented" products out in the past few months, but they smelled awful. I want to use something gentle and chemical free on my girls that doesn't make me gag. I had sort of given up on the search when I was offered a chance to test out a few products from Diane Lai.



The other Diane Lai product that I tested out was the Rejuvenate Daily Moisturizer.  I'm not big on lotions, and I'm not into rubbing a daily moisturizer into my skin. It's just not my thing. However, my four year old absolutely loves having lotion rubbed into her skin. It's a taste she developed from visits over at her grandmother's house. I am sort of loathe to rub lotion into my kids skin, as typically it's full of so much junk and chemicals. I'm very aware of the fact that the skin is an organ and it absorbs whatever it comes in contact with. Diane Lai's Rejuvenate Daily Moisturizer is a product I am ok with rubbing all over my little one.  It's all natural and organic; made with things like grape seed oil, Shea butter, olive oil, soybean sterols, lavender oil, kernel oil, wheat germ oil, and jojoba seed oil.  It also meets two other really important considerations, it doesn't stink and it's not greasy.


I hate soaps, I hate lotions, I usually tolerate them at best.  So you have to understand that for me to say I actually like a skin product is a big deal, and overall I was very impressed with the entire Diane Lai product line. I also love that Diane Lai is a Canadian product and is made right here in Canada.


Interested? You can purchase Diane Lai products at select retailers across Ontario, or directly from their website.
