Whiteboards & Washrooms – Managing Chronic Conditions in Kids #IBD

Whiteboards and Washrooms IBD

Back to school is very challenging time for both kids and parents. There are lots of adjustments and preparations need to be made so that everyone feels comfortable and has smooth tradition to new routine. As children grow they meet many people every day, involve in various activities and face daily physical and emotional tasks. There are lots of things happen in school and family life. For children living with chronic conditions every day is a real challenge.

Last week we attended Whiteboards and Washrooms – Managing Chronic Conditions in Kids event to learn more about inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a group of conditions that involve chronic inflammation of all or part of the digestive tract. Specifically, the two main types of IBD conditions are known as Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Children with IBD may suffer from a wide range of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. They include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, vomiting, nausea and other. While it is believed that genetics and environmental factors are the reasons of IBD, having more information about these conditions is very helpful.

Managing Chronic Conditions in IBD

After listening to Dr. Thomas Walters, gastroenterologist at SickKids Hospital, and Kate Murray, founder of Robbie’s Rainbow, I feel more knowledgeable and comfortable about IBD. Children with IBD want to know when they will be "normal" like every other kid, but the rates of IBD grow every year becoming new normal in our society. Having chronic conditions means you have to take care of them every day. Parents, families, siblings, doctors, teachers and community are also need to be supportive and help children living with IDB. Parents play a vital role in helping kids managing IBD conditions and communicating with the school and teachers how they can support the child. While no one likes "poo talk" and most children feel embarrassing about it, it is important to understand that children need help and it all can be manageable if communicated properly. Kids can't catch IBD from someone, like a cold, but the disease may be genetic or based on environmental issues.

Children with IBD need have more absence days because they go often to doctors and tests, they need a special diet to manage their digestive tract, they need to go to the washroom more often, and many other things, which can be incorporated into school day to day life so that children feel comfortable and get positive experience at school and out of home.

There is no treatment to chronic conditions but they can be reduced to the minimum so that every child with IBD feels better and focus on other tasks in life. The major target is to avoid extreme measures like hospitalization and surgery and improve the quality of life.

Dr Thomas Walters

It takes a village to raise a child. Parents, teachers and communities should communicate effectively how to make every child feel comfortable at school and other places. Parents play a vital role as they are first who come to support the child. There is never "over care" for the child in this case. The more we support the more child feel comfortable and eager to live "normal life". Parents are encouraged to be involved in everyday activities, come to school for lunch time and after school. When talking about the disease, children need to express how they feel and explain it to teachers, friends and coaches like "I have a sore tummy. The Doctors are helping me". My cousin had a urinary incontinence, it was very upset for her. She has a quite stressful time at school until her dad developed a strategy how to behave in different situations, what to say to other people and how to manage the condition. Nowadays there are many supportive groups online to discuss the conditions, how to help kids at school, families to discuss everything from symptoms, activities to medications and menu. There are also great apps to help children manage IBD like myIBDApp or GI Monitor to track food intake, symptoms, pain areas and stress patterns.

Kate Murray

At the event we were also happy to meet Kate Murray, founder of Robbie’s Rainbow and her son Robbie. She shared her experience raising a child with the chronic condition IBD, the challenges she faced and how she and Robbie have overcome them. I was impressed how Kate manages a huge load of responsibilities and very patient and supportive. She is a good example and offers great resources for families dealing with IBD. Robbie’s Rainbow helps children access treatments, diagnostic testing and builds educational resources to meet the entire needs of family and child living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Canada has some of the highest rates of IBD in the world, with more than 10,200 new cases diagnosed each year. It is estimated that 1 in every 150 Canadians has IBD. IBD can cause some inconvenience and even hospitalization, but there are ways you can manage the disease and have a healthy and active lifestyle. Visit Robbie’s Rainbow for resources and more information on IBD, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis & how you can help children living with IBD.

Dr. Thomas Walters is a gastroenterologist at SickKids Hospital, and the co-director of the SickKids’s Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Diseases program. Dr. Walters will shed light on when to see a physician, what to ask, how to approach new treatments, and how to talk to your child about chronic conditions. 
Robbie’s Rainbow is a registered charity with a sole focus on childhood Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Our charity provides access to medical treatments, procedures and care not covered by private or public health plans and we build educational resources for IBD children and their families.

Look What Happens in Harajuku City! Kuu Kuu Harajuku: Super Kawaii DVD Giveaway CAN/US

Kuu Kuu Harajuku

The animated series Kuu Kuu Harajuku follows the fun-filled adventures of the band HJ5, formed by G. Five friends, members of super cool kawaii band: Love, Angel, Music, Baby and G, live in Harajuku City, a beautiful place where everything can happen. The inspiration for this popular animated series came from Grammy® Award-winning musician Stefani who wanted to create an animated series for girls that encourages and celebrates creativity, self-expression and individuality. The show’s setting is inspired by the extraordinary street fashion and creative youth culture of the Harajuku along with fantasy fashion.

The talented girls of HJ5 band love singing and dancing. Their fashionable outfit is a great way to express their style and imagination. HJ5 travels all over the globe to put on shows for their fans. Though their manager Rudie is a pretty good guy and dedicated to the band, he often does not pay attention to details when organizing concerts, which leads to total mess like in Water Baby episode. There sea horses love following Baby and break the underwater construction unintentionally, but HJ5 cannot finish the concert because of that. Rudie is not the only one who cause the band to stop or interrupt the performances, the whole bunch of villains, aliens and some random circumstances become obstacles on the talented girls path. But together the band is unstoppable, every downturn bring them new way to learn and show their creativity. I like that girls in these series show who they really are. They solve problems their own way, which may be girlish way not always the best but they true to themselves and show respect to everyone. HJ5 band works hard to present their songs to the audience and you can hear many of them in the series. Kuu Kuu Harajuku: Super Kawaii contains 12 episodes from Season One. Follow the girls as they go into the space in a spaceship, transform into chess figures on a stage, dive into the ocean and always true to their "kawaii" fashion.

Casa Loma Symphony in The Gardens by The Toronto Concert Orchestra

Casa Loma Outdoor Garden

Casa Loma Castle is one of the top famous Toronto attractions with unique architecture, design and history. It is always a pleasure to visit the Castle and enjoy every second being there. It is really beautiful inside and outside with sculptures, paintings, gardens and fountains. This year we had a chance to visit the Castle for Disney Beauty & The Beast event, there is no better place than Casa Loma for this magical story.

Casa Loma Fountain

During summer time Casa Loma also hosts Symphony in the Gardens once a week in the evening from June to September. The Toronto Concert Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Kerry Stratton, brings the most popular musical compositions. Every performance is unique and the themes are meticulously chosen based on audience requests. For example, this season Star Wars fans could hear popular musical pieces from the movies and jazz and swing lovers could enjoy Frank Sinatra musical evening.

Sara Papini

This year we traveled a lot during summer time and were lucky to have an opportunity to join Symphony in the Gardens Grand Finale on September 12th thanks to warm Toronto weather (surprisingly this fall). We arrived early to the concert. The views of the city were stunning with CN Tower and the buildings. I wish Teddy could come to see and hear this performance but he has piano lesson that day. Not very often we have an opportunity to enjoy live classical music performed by professionals in outdoor majestic setting.

Casa Loma Garden

The performance was dedicated to classical musical pieces of famous composers like Mozart, Verdi, Rossini, Bizet and others. The evening was amazing in the beautiful gardens with fountains and flowers. It was warm and something magical was in the air when we listened rebellious Carmen and mysterious Dvorak's Rusalka performed by Danielle MacMillan and Sara Papini. Tenor Vaguif Kerimov impressed the audience with his remarkable voice. We stayed at the event till dusk. The Castle was lit up with colors. Casa Loma and Toronto are even more beautiful in the dark. The sounds of orchestra, soloist's voices and warm weather made this evening really enjoyable.

Toronto Concert Orchestra

The performance was till 10 pm. Visitors could enjoy al fresco food and drink options. There are tables conveniently set in the garden behind Glass Pavilion. It was magical evening, we are looking forward to new concerts in Casa Loma. Hopefully the weather will give us more opportunities to enjoy music in the garden.

Our Adventures in Italy Day VII: Pisa & The Leaning Tower

Leaning Tower

We left Rome early morning on the board of a high-speed rail train and arrived in Pisa around 10am. We booked a hotel just few hundred meters from train station, left our luggage there and took a taxi to Square of Miracles. I booked our tickets  to climb The Leaning Tower in advance and were afraid to be late. Train station appeared to be less then ten minutes drive from The Leaning Tower. The Square of Miracles is dominated by four great religious edifices: the Pisa Cathedral, the Pisa Baptistery, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Camposanto  Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery). It’s partly paved and partly grassed. It was crowded there with tourists and people trying to sell something to you. We walked around The Leaning Tower first, absorbing view that we heard so much about. To be honest, we chose to spend vacation in Italy because we wanted to visit The Leaning Tower.

Pisa Tower View Pisa Aerial View Pisa Italy summer

Then we entered the Pisa Cathedral (or Duomo) through the massive bronze main doors. Its construction began in 1064, and set the model for the distinctive Pisan style of architecture. The mosaics of the interior, as well as the pointed arches, show a strong Byzantine influence. The facade made of grey marble and white stone set with discs of colored marble.

Teddy in Pisa Ted Museum Pisa

The Baptistery, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, stands opposite the west end of the Duomo. It is the largest baptistery in Italy. Its circumference measures 107.25 meters. Taking into account the statue of St. John the Baptist on top of the dome, it is even higher than The Leaning Tower. The Baptistery has remarkable acoustics and plain interior design with lack of decorations.

Pisa museum Huge Statue Pisa

It was time to climb The Leaning Tower. Unfortunately children before age of 8 are not allowed climbing and we had to take turns while Teddy had a lunch with other one of us in outdoor patio with tower view. You cannot take bags with you and have to leave all belongings (except camera and phone) in the locker. The tower looks from inside like a huge pipe with a covered top. The guide told us some interesting facts about building the tower and we started climbing 296 steps leading to the top. Construction of the tower began in 1173 and took place in three stages over the course of 177 years, with the bell-chamber only added in 1372.

Ted in Pisa Teddy Leaning Tower

The tower stands approximately 56 meters high, and was built to accommodate a total of seven main bells, cast to the musical scale. The tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees. This means that the top of the tower is displaced horizontally 3.9 meters (12 ft 10 in) from where it would be, if the structure were perfectly vertical. You can feel that you climb stairs in leaning position and have to touch the wall from time to time in order to keep the balance. It wasn’t so difficult to get to the top where seven bells of different sizes are located.  The Pisa is a small city without hi-rise buildings and it can be seen completely and clearly from the top of The Leaning Tower.

Pisa Market Pisa Bell

After visiting The Leaning Tower we found shade a cool breeze in The Camposanto Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery) that is located at the northern edge of the Square. It was a relief for us, considering 35C on that day. The Camposanto Monumentale once contained a large collection of Roman sculptures and sarcophagus, but now there are only 84 remaining. The walls were once covered in remarkable frescoes. On 27 July 1944, incendiary bombs dropped by allied aircraft set the roof of the building on fire and covered them in molten lead, mostly destroying them.

 Pisa History Italy Pisa Art

Since 1945, restoration works have been going on and now the Campo Santo has been brought back to its original state. Original drawings of the Campo Santo frescoes are kept in Sinopias Museum where we headed after Camposanto Monumentale. The museum is very small and it was good because we were so tired and ready to go to the hotel. Before going back we stopped at the local flee market and bought a few T-shots and souvenirs.

Pisa Street

We decided to go back on foot and see the city. We walked just several hundred meters and reached Knights' Square  where located a beautiful Palazzo della Carovana palace. Teddy liked the music local musician played on a guitar there and even dance with him. We walk through main shopping street in the center of Pisa and checked a couple boutiques. Within 30 minutes we got to the hotel squeezed like lemons. It was a very hot day; we woke up at 5am and had a very busy day.  A good rest was crucial for us. Next morning we had a train to Florence.

Celebrating Time with Flik and Flak in Toronto #FlikFlakTurns30

Flik Flak Collection

Teaching kids time is not an easy task. While everything seems obvious to us, it is quite difficult to explain to our children. They could not understand seconds, minutes and hours and what time means. It was until Teddy went to school and learned everything with Flik and Flak thanks to his amazing teacher. It was easy and fast as Teddy explained and Flik & Flak were fun to learn with.


Flik Flak is the world’s favorite children’s watch. And Flik & Flak are characters who helping kids learn and tell the time. They find seconds, minutes and hours incredibly exciting. With Flik and Flak you will discover just how easy it is to know everything about the time. Flik and Flak are siblings. Flik is the big brother with very long legs and Flak is the clever little sister. Both of them love watches but, most of all, they love helping others to tell the time correctly. Flik has the job of showing the minutes. He takes a step forward every 60 seconds. After he has been round the whole watch face once, an hour has passed. Then it's Flak's turn: she jumps forward to show the next full hour.

Flik Flak Community Board

Since 1987, Flik Flak creates Swiss made watches for kids that help them to learn to tell the time so that they find it interesting and fun. This year Flik Flak celebrates 30 amazing years being best time friends with kids and we were happy to join the celebration in Toronto.

flik flak turns 30 flik flak 30

The Flik Flak party was hosted at The Big Chill. Everyone knows that kids love ice-cream. We were treated with a wide selection of flavors so hard to choose from with desire to try them all. What a party without balloons and party favors and Birthday activities!

Teddy Flik Flak

At the party we had a chance to view the Flik Flak collection of watches and even try on some of them. With Back To School around the corner kids definitely needed watches to learn how to manage their time at home, at school and other places where they play.

Flik Flak App free

The Big Chill has a fancy Community Board where everyone wrote their best birthday withes to Flik and Flak, saying thank you for helping learning time and being best children friends. We were also introduced to Telling The Time with Flik and Flak. This app was developed in co-operation with teachers and educators to playfully teach children how to read time. Step by step, they learn how to read the numbers, hours and minutes as well as how to tell the time. It is really great application, Teddy already had it before the party and I agree that it helps a lot. It is free to download and has various funny games and activities. Kids will love to check them out. Flik Flak watches are all Swiss made, they are shock-resistant, what is good for playground activities and water resistant up to 3 bars so at splash pad children know that it is time to stop and take a break. Flik Flak watches are machine washable and can survive a normal 40°C cycle.

Flik Flak icecream

Available on-line and in Swatch store across Canada, Flik Flak watch makes not only a wonderful gift to every kid but also an essential item to help them learn time and help in daily activities. We are happy to say Happy Birthday to this dedicated to kids brand and wishing many successful years in Canada.

9/11 Film Starring Charlie Sheen & Whoopi Goldberg #Remember911 Gift Pack Giveaway CAN/US

The film 9/11 is based on a true story and chronicles the lives of five average, everyday people who find themselves trapped in an elevator during the events of 9/11 in the World Trade Center.

It is an inspiring movie starring Charlie Sheen and Whoopi Goldberg titled 9/11, based on the original play, The Elevator and centers on the events of September 11, 2001.

photo 911 Movie Charlie Sheen_zpscxdlwmx1.jpg

In the World Trade Center, a billionaire sits in his attorney’s office awaiting a divorce hearing against his wife. In a west side apartment, a bike messenger kisses his 5-year old daughter and sings her “Happy Birthday” before leaving for work. A maintenance man gets dispatched to help a tenant with his lock. In an upper east side apartment, a young model musters the courage to break up with her sugar daddy. As random as random can be, these individuals step into a crowded World Trade Center elevator.

Wrapped up in their own world, they all ride silently hearing only the sound of the elevator giving notice of each floor. When the elevator stops on the 34th floor, it empties leaving only these five behind. Moments later ... their world changes as the collision of a jet into the North Tower incapacitates the elevator.

With no understanding of what has happened and is happening around them, these fives are forced to band together and fight against all odds to escape from the impending horrific collapse. During these critical minutes, a story of courage, faith, and the will to live unfolds.

No matter who you are or where you were, that moment and the aftermath is indelibly etched in everyone’s mind.
