Apparently if we are lucky we have 25,000 adult mornings. (When I read "adult" I think naughty and nice but I don't think that is what they are talking about) How we start them affects how we live each day. How we live each day affects our lives Apparently most of us start each day the exact … [Read more...]
Night Markets You Won’t Want to Miss!
Summers are so amazing in the city! Toronto is that kind of city where you can hop on public transit and spend a few hours exploring different cultures and feel like you've been transplanted to somewhere away from the concrete jungle. While the days can get pretty steamy, we're pretty open about … [Read more...]
Every Lunch Hour I Go On A Guilt Trip
I'm the kind of guy that eats a lot of the same thing day in and day out. A few years ago when I was trying to lose weight I ate a quarter chicken with salad (balsamic vinaigrette on the side) for 4 straights months. Turned out it worked. I lost around 18 pounds. I credit my OCD and bland palate to … [Read more...]
From My Closet – July 17th, 2013
Lawd, but it's hawt. (This is not a complaint, Universe - just an observation.) Like in most Canadian cities, summer really means stripping down and enjoying the heat on one's skin. In Montreal?

How to Self-Publish

I once worked at a childrens book publishers and had the fortunate experience of working side-by-side with the book editors who were flooded with … [Read more...]
The Blue Mountain Groove
My 10 year old son did not want to go to camp in Collingwood. There we were in the driveway of my parents house, supposed to run out to grab a lifejacket for Hudson's upcoming two week overnight camping trip when he admitted that he was a bit nervous about being in Collingwood and attending camp … [Read more...]
8 Reasons To Line-Dry Your Laundry
Summer is my favourite laundry season. Why do I have a favourite laundry season? That sounds a little crazy, doesn't it. I love summer laundry because I can hang it all to dry outside! Line-drying clothes sounds time-consuming and old-fashioned, but it is absolutely worth it. There are a lot of … [Read more...]
