As parents, we wear a lot of hats—caregiver, chef, chauffeur, tutor… and the list goes on. But what if you could add “extra income earner” to that list, without piling on more stress or needing extra skills? Whether you’re saving for your child’s next birthday party, tackling rising grocery bills, or just want a little extra breathing room in the family budget, finding ways to make some extra cash from home can be a game-changer.
Can you believe it’s been five years since the pandemic began? It feels like just yesterday we were all frantically searching for toilet paper, wondering if the world was running out of Dasani water, and trying to figure out how to do a decent fist bump without feeling awkward. Five years have passed since the COVID-19 pandemic turned our lives upside down, and it’s hard to believe how far we’ve come. From the early days of panic shopping to the endless Zoom meetings and “quarantine haircuts,” it’s been a wild ride.
The other day I was poking around the backend of my YouTube account and came to a stunning realization. There were a lot of personal videos of my kids I had uploaded well over 10 years ago. There is nothing wrong with the videos, but what didn’t hit me until just then was – why am I letting the whole internet still see them?
YouTube (and social media) is in a much different place than when it first came online in the early 2000s. Every parent with a fancy, new Smartphone was uploading hours and hours of all the cute things their kids were doing. But now in 2025, those kids are in their teens or older. Guess what? They don’t want people seeing those videos anymore.
Parenting in the digital age comes with its own set of challenges, and one of the most surprising moments for many parents (including me) is when their teenagers say, “Please stop posting photos of me online anymore.” It’s a shift that can feel bittersweet—after years of documenting every milestone, you’re suddenly faced with the reality that your kids are growing up and asserting their independence. But this change is also an opportunity to foster trust, respect boundaries, and rethink how you capture and share family moments. Not – but what about my engagement?
TORONTO, Feb. 4, 2025 According to a new report released today by Heart & Stroke, more people are living with congenital heart disease (CHD) thanks to improved diagnosis and care. However, as this population grows and their health evolves, not enough is being done to ensure the care they require over their lifetime keeps pace. Adding to the need for continued support is the fact that people with CHD are at higher risk for other heart and brain conditions.
TORONTO, Jan. 30, 2025 /CNW/ – The latest 2025 Canadian Student Wellbeing Survey, carried out by YouGov for Studiosity, indicates that students are increasingly turning to AI tools to manage academic stress and enhance their learning.
