My dog died the other night. It was shocking but not surprising considering her fulsome life. I basically eulogized her here, so I will not again (ok a little bit) but as the category above suggests, this indeed was a life event. Two things stood out about Alice’s passing. First, my eldest son, … [Read more...]
When He Sleeps
Sometimes at night, before I go to bed, I sit in Will's room and watch him sleep. I wonder what it is that he's dreaming about. I hope that it's Disney World, Daphne, ice cream cones and what dog we're going to eventually get. Simple things. Don't worry kid. I have the big things covered … [Read more...]
Survival of the TIFF-est
I was joking around a few weeks ago mentioning to my friends that I was in "training" for this year's coverage of the Toronto International Film Festival. Being my third year of reporting I knew what to expect. I was on a few marathon movie binges and trying to eat healthy because once TIFF came … [Read more...]
Take a Look at Sears!
The flurry of “back to school” shopping for the kids is settling down just in time for me to get excited about my own fall shopping. I don’t think any other time of year makes me so giddy about strolling malls, popping into stores and hanging out in dressing rooms. The change of season has me ready … [Read more...]
The Reality of Breastfeeding
I didn't know I was having one of "those" days until I broke down in front of two women in the nursing room at IKEA yesterday. Yep it happened and there were hugs exchanged with complete strangers so thank you to whoever you two are. You really made my day. As you know we've go a lot going on … [Read more...]
Exercise, I Hate You.
It's no secret. I've never enjoyed you in the classic sense, Exercise. And it's not me - it's you. Some people are of the idea that there's a gain with pain. When it comes to just about all things, my motto is: No pain? No pain. I much prefer pleasure. I'm a bit of a hedonist, you know. *sips … [Read more...]
My Dirty Little Secret
I’m not 100% certain but I’m pretty sure my kids look up to me. I mean they’re 5 and 3 and next to Spiderman, I think I’m their biggest influence. But with that of course, comes a lot of pressure. They look to me for advice, love, snacks, and wisdom. I love my boys with all my heart and soul, and … [Read more...]
In the Kitchen and Garden with Anne Parks
Who knew that a teenager's part-time job working at McDonald's would lead to a career for Anne Parks? If you don't know her name, you should. She's in charge of the company's Canadian menu development and she's not who you would expect in this role. In fact, I was surprised to learn that Parks is a … [Read more...]
A Quick Trip to Brazil? Say Hello to the Quickzillian!
These past few weeks have been quite a trip! I'm having a little fun these days covering the Toronto International Film Festival. Sure, the focus is on the up and coming films but another aspect of TIFF is all the glam and beauty. Leading up to TIFF I had some primping to do as mentioned. You know, … [Read more...]
