During my university days I lived with a great group of girls. We were always there for one another, and in times of heartbreak we'd all dress down in sweat pants and head to the amazing bakery down the street. We'd each choose a dessert and bring it back to our house, where we'd eat it out of the … [Read more...]
La Roche-Posay’s “Our Journey” Program
Any family who has to deal with a child with eczema knows that often, the physical symptoms are the easiest to combat. We'd been struggling to deal with my six year old daughter's inflamed rashes, itchy breakouts and burning red skin patches for months to no avail. However, when she came home crying … [Read more...]
Say Cheese! Photo Tips for the Panasonic LUMIX GF3X
I reviewed the Panasonic LUMIX camera a few months ago, and as much as I love it, the photos I take are often only as good as the photographer (sigh). Our friends at Panasonic recently invited me to an informative session with a professional photographer on how to take better pictures, and I loved … [Read more...]
Gee My Hair Feels Terrific
I am loyal in many ways; to my husband (we first met 26 years ago!), to my friends and family, to my favourite brands (I won't hit a Timmy's if there's a Starbuck's to be found), but in one way I am very fickle; to my hairstyle.I've had long...I've had short...and I've had many, many years of … [Read more...]
The Games We Played
We're coming off a very fun March Break; a little getaway, a little staycation, wonderful weather and lots of friends.

A Ski Vacation for the Non-Skier
When I told my friends that our family was doing a quick, last minute ski vacation to kick off our March Break, theirs mouths dropped. My husband had grown up a skier, and he gets out with our boys (aged 12 and 10) at least once a year. Combine that with their annual school trips, and they're pretty … [Read more...]
Reitmans Interprets the Spring Trends
Smell that? Not the dog poo under mounds of melting snow...not the muddy reek from dirty boots...not the moldy stink of once-soaking mittens...it's Spring! Spring is in the air and I'm catching glimpses of warmer weather fashion on the streets. Canadian company Reitmans is a great stop for a … [Read more...]
Staycation…All We Ever Wanted!
It's mid-March and across this cold, winter-y land of ours it's the time of the annual March Break. Unlike our American neighbours, we can't call it Spring Break, because Spring could honestly still be months away (sob). For many of us this one (or two) week break from school means an annual family … [Read more...]
Black and Blue All Over
Combine my kids' fair Irish skin with their active lifestyles and blatant disregard for life and limb...it adds up to legs that look like over-ripe bananas. They bump into chairs, tables, each other, stairs, playground equipment on a daily basis and their legs tell these stories in shades of black … [Read more...]
