My kids are done with camp for the rest of the summer, and now we're just... hanging out. I took them to a movie yesterday... we had pizza out on the town the day before that. It's going to be much of the same for the next bunch of weeks before school starts, which isn't all bad. I have things I … [Read more...]
The Importance of Camp
I didn't grow up going to overnight camp. My parents weren't too familiar with the concept as they weren't raised with such opportunities. The local city day camp and Vacation Bible School is where my sister and I were sent to each summer. I often wondered if I had missed out on some life … [Read more...]
Getting the Most Our of Your New Kitchen Appliances
As you may know I am in the process of renovating. Our house is currently a gigantic mess of dust and beams and electrical wiring. The architect's drawings are what I hold onto to keep me sane. I also hold on to the tile samples, paint chips and the vision of my new kitchen appliances - White Ice … [Read more...]
Almost August
I can't believe July is already behind us. This summer has been packed full thus far, but there are still four weeks to savour and enjoy and that is exactly what I plan to do! Howdy, August. May you trickle by us like molasses: slow, warm and thick. (OK, bad analogy; that sounds really … [Read more...]

I got to experience the low ropes course with Amanda and the amazing Scandinave Spa with Amanda, Tracy and Sonya. I met people I have admired for a long time and reconnected … [Read more...]

All I know is that my second is very different from my first and on this day of celebrating his … [Read more...]
A Sip and a Sigh.
The smell of canola isn't strong, but it is distinct, and there it was wafting on the wind on the breezy Saturday we found ourselves at Georgian Hills Vineyards. It was one of many bits of idyll in that magical place, where for the few hours we were there I found myself relaxing, watching the clouds … [Read more...]
Go East Young Man
My wife and I take off for Cape Breton tomorrow. We are very excited but also a little anxious; it’s a long, long drive. Not sure if you've ever driven out east but Cape Breton is about a 21 hour drive. More like 23 with us, the two kids and my bladder tend to slow us down a bit. This will be our … [Read more...]
First Time at Camp
I managed to keep it together until we got back to the car after dropping my eldest son off at the bus for his first time at sleep away camp. After that I was one giant puddle. Everything about sending Hudson off to camp was right. He needs a little confidence and personal responsibility … [Read more...]

It's no secret that the Asian market is a few years ahead when it comes to the advancement of beauty technology. The explosion of BB creams started years ago in Asia before it gained mass popularity here in North America.
