Wine Wednesday

July 5, 2013 by Sonya 1 Comment

It was a hot summer night with that kind of humidity that makes you feel like you're in Jamaica. That kind of weather that gives everyone a glow. But it makes everyone happy. We don't get summer for too long so we take what we can get. I entered the hotel lobby  and  spotted a familiar face. I give … [Read more...]

Lazy Summer Days

July 4, 2013 by Jason 1 Comment

Artist Spotlight: Jon Shaw

July 4, 2013 by Sonya 1 Comment

I often paint and draw, it's my "outlet" and I get my creative fuel from speaking with other artists. It's like going for counselling as art is so personal. Each work of art I produce is almost like giving birth (I said almost). I nurture and spend time with my art taking a few years to complete. … [Read more...]

Stop The Judging!

July 4, 2013 by Sara 5 Comments

Monday afternoon, along with 8 million other people, we were driving back from Northern Ontario.  But what the other 8 million people didn't have was a special blankie or three stuck in the Thule bag on the roof rack.  Did you know that you can't really pull over and get a special blankie when … [Read more...]

My Village

July 3, 2013 by Kath 9 Comments

There's an old African proverb, popularized in the West by Hillary Clinton: "it takes a village to raise a child." It takes a village to raise a child.

Nailing Easy Summer Style

July 3, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

Summer is so easy. We are on the go with pool parties and BBQ get-togethers all season long and love it. As Canadians we gotta embrace the short summer months, right? And we're pretty chill about it. I love the long hot summer weekends of relaxing and just chatting away with nice icy cold bevvy in … [Read more...]
