Alex Mlynek kind of geeks out when it comes to parenting topics, which means it's probably a good thing she's a contributing editor at Today's Parent. Alex lives in Toronto with her husband, son, cat and dog. When not reading about the latest in play, she likes to make and eat good food, watch movies and listen to music her two-year-old son refers to as "funky."
