THE RECIPES
5 Delicious High-Protein Recipes for the Whole Fam
Protein seems to be having a moment. Well, maybe that’s not fair. Protein has long been recognized as an essential building block of any balanced diet. But in the past few years, a number of studies have been released that stress the importance of protein for women in midlife, especially. The reason? Eating adequate levels of protein is crucial for women to maintain muscle mass, strength, metabolism and more as they age (aka, so you can keep up with your brood!).
Now, moms out there, we know that you probably just groaned because this is just another thing to add to the list of things you “should” do, but considering that your growing kiddos also need protein, we thought we’d help you kill two birds with one (protein-packed) stone with these five yummy recipes.

What Do You Really Think About Diaper Bags?
Okay, here’s the thing about diaper bags. It’s true that they can come in very handy with all of their pockets and carabiners and fold-out whozits and whatsits…but are they really just fancy bags at a higher price point?
We’re divided at ParentsCanada—some of us think they’re essential for parents of babies and toddlers, and some of us think they’re just an expensive knapsack or over-the-shoulder bag. So, we want to know where you land on the debate…are diaper bags indispensable or unnecessary?

THE QUESTION BOX
I Have So Many Old Home Movies on VHS—Is There An Easy Way to Digitize Them?
We’re guessing many of you don’t really remember the age of VHS tapes (DVD players arrived in the mid-to-late ’90s). But we also know it’s very possible that you may have been given a box of tapes by a parent or grandparent, with no way to watch or preserve whatever is on them. (Just think, little tiny you could be on those tapes! Or maybe you’d do anything to hear the voice of someone you’ve lost. Plus, your kids will no doubt love to see life before they arrived.)
Good news: Our tech guru, Marc Saltzman, has done a deep dive on the different ways you can digitize your family’s memories. Some methods are easier than others, and some will result in better quality recordings, but all five of Marc’s solutions will get your home movies to your phone, tablet or TV screen in no time.
