Our little man has started singing carols already. Jingle bells on the way home from school, and Santa Clause is coming to town when we are letting the critters out in the morning. I don’t know where he has picked […]
I live far, far away from special screenings and releases. So far, that we don't usually get to see the movies until they are already OUT of the local theatres! So, when a few tickets were …
Winter, living rural can be a bit tricky. Early nights, no cable and all of us squeezed into a small home with one bathroom can cause some . . . friction. Not to mention the fact …
I love me a good twitter party, especially when it is all about supporting handmade and Canadian Businesses. My Urbanware is a "mom founded and managed" business that does just that! From handmade jewellery, to artwork. …
New toys are always welcome at our home, and while they may find themselves mixing with strange company, sometimes that is when the magic starts to happen. We have had dump trucks helping out in the …

We live rurally. Our driveway is almost half a kilometer long. We can not walk to the store, and the stores we do have don't sell the "family packs" that a family our size really …
I am cozy in my bed in Toronto at the (OMG it's fancy) King Edward Hotel, patiently waiting for my roomie to arrive and excited about the week ahead. The next two days are spent …
We are welcoming a guest post from the La Jolla Writer’s Conference today! I hope you enjoy it! LJWC Author Profile: Q & A with Renowned Literary Agent, Author, and Club of Budapest trustee, William Gladstone Sometimes accomplished people can …
