I shouldn't have liked this truck as much as I did. In the weeks that have passed since I drove around this black beauty I've caught myself eyeing its brothers and sisters on the roads and sending a knowing wink in the direction of their drivers. We now share a secret. We all know what you wouldn't … [Read more...]
January Checklist
(Photo credit: Wikipedia)As much as I hate to admit it, there's no denying it. The latest dumping of snow in Eastern Ontario is a reminder: The snow is out there. Those of us who've been getting off lightly so far, can't take that for granted either. You never know which morning you're … [Read more...]

Sure the holiday season is a wonderful time to be with friends and family but baby, it's cold outside!

Tilley Clothing: There and Back Again
Ok, join me for a minute. Close your eyes - well one eye, you'll need at least one to read this - and imagine a world where your clothes are multifunctional, don't require irons, can be thrown into your washer with abandon and never look worse for wear. Where is this utopia you … [Read more...]

I've been curious about the Honda Pilot for years.

Who needs a lift? I’ve got room.
I have an overwhelming urge to buy a table. Not just any table but a long one. Or one that comes in multiple boxes. If not a table then I want to carpool. I want to drive all the kids in the neighbourhood somewhere or maybe just have a car party where we never actually go anywhere but have a good … [Read more...]
An Unlikely Hero Saves our Back to School Day
My boys didn't start school last week with everyone else. Nope, after a year away from school exploring the world on an around the world trip, we snuck them away again last week for their uncle's wedding in Italy. It was a moment we absolutely wouldn't miss and so it meant that school would have to … [Read more...]
