Hyper Parents & Coddled Kids is the name of a CBC documentary that aired in Canada recently. The name enough was enough to get my interest. But also I got a heads-up from Ann Douglas’ blog at parentcentral.ca that it was coming. In her review, {read more}

The only thing that Julie from the movie Julie and Julia and I share is a name. I have never lived in New York City (although I certainly would if opportunity afforded it), I am not a newlywed (we’re clocking 13 years over in this corner), and perhaps {read more}
