Yashy — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 16:38:00 +0000

It should come as no surprise to you that I am a huge fan of South Asian ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! Having grown up as global nomad, I put a lot of emphasis on teaching our kids about different cultures but it’s also important for me to see them celebrate my culture. I was born in

I know we still have a month left before all of us last minute Back-to-School Shoppers really start our planning (the night before school starts) but for a change, I thought I’d get a head start. Surprising hey? Last year we arrived back from our 5 month long trip the weekend before school started and

A few months ago, I shared the story of our Little Man’s struggles adapting to Junior Kindergarten. After we made the decision to enrol him in school when he was two months shy of his 4th birthday, it initially appeared that he just wasn’t ready. His older sister had started school two years earlier at

When our family recently returned from a 148 day trip through Europe and Morocco, we had six days to prepare the kids for school. Our daughter, AKA Little Monkey, would be entering Grade 1, and she was pretty excited to see her friends after being away for 5 months. Meanwhile, our son would be starting

My Child is Struggling in Kindergarten

Yashy — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 15:03:56 +0000

It has been a month since Baby Boy started Kindergarten and as you may recall, we did see signs of him not being ready to start his scholastic journey. In the end, we decided that he was going to school despite not being 4 years old just yet. No, he doesn’t like school at all

Do I REALLY Want to Redshirt My Kindergartener?

Yashy — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 09:57:48 +0000

15 days. I think anyways. 15 days is what we have to get Baby Boy ready for his first year of school. I’m shitting bricks as the brown dads would say. With Little Monkey I wasn’t as anxious as I am with Baby Boy. It might have been because she went to a preschool for

Practicing What is Taught #CatholicTeachers

Yashy — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 11:27:30 +0000

I often worry that my children are growing up in an entitled world, not realizing how fortunate they are. Like any nurturing parent, I want my kids to grow up to be caring and compassionate human beings, but figuring out how to teach those values to young kids can be a daunting task. We want the kids to

The Right Influence #CatholicTeachers

Yashy — Thu, 08 Jun 2017 14:05:41 +0000

One of the early decisions we made during our pregnancy with the Little Monkey regarded her schooling. You may recall that we had both kids baptised in Toronto and while I should be ashamed to admit it, one of the reasons was so that they could get into a Catholic school in Ontario. Of course the hubs and I

An entire month of school is done!! How crazy is that? You may recall that while I had the uniforms under control, the backpack was something I was still on the hunt for. Last year we discovered an awesome school bag that had an insulated compartment for the lunch and I spent most of summer

My life is a big case of organized chaos and as I try to do it all, the biggest struggle I currently have is keeping track of the many celebrations happening at Little Monkey’s school. The last two weeks have been insanely busy on that front and I’ve been scrambling last minute for every little
