I'm kinda surprised how easily I get jet lag when I travel. I need a day (or RedBull) to adjust when I get to my destination and if I'm going to somewhere beautiful like Europe, I really don't want to waste a day catching up on my zzz's. There's been some talk about having proper LED lighting to … [Read more...]
The Foodie Adventure: Doing the Dishcrawl
I'm a foodie adventurer and I'll try anything at least once, if not twice. I love to taste, savour and explore my food from the littlest shop like Mr. Jerk up at the Peanut Plaza in Don Mills to my favourite and filling meals at Jumbo Empanadas in Kensington Market to the most satisfying weekend … [Read more...]
The “No Need To Panic” Mom’s Day Gift List.

What makes you beautiful with One Direction
After last weekend's brunch in a room full of munchkins "performing" this karaoke tune over and over again, and that only moms can really appreciate, you can't help but hum along for a few days after! You're probably wondering why I would spend a sunny Sunday afternoon listening to kids rock … [Read more...]

Volunteering is always cool!

We read books together and played board games and sometimes just … [Read more...]
