30 Seconds with…Eva Link, Allie McDonald and Natalie Lisinska

September 20, 2011 by Racheal

Eva Link was one of this year's TIFF Rising Stars, so I guess I expected a lot from her when I asked if she had advice for young performers.  "Just keep at it.  Honestly? Like, if you love it enough?  Then it'll happen.  I think a lot of it, like, has to do with luck.  I … [Read more...]

30 Seconds with Anne-Marie Mediwake

September 16, 2011 by Racheal

Being on a red carpet is always a bit frenetic, especially at TIFF.  Cameras are snapping, flashes are flying and handlers are ushering the VIPs in and out of the "step and repeat" faster than a Wyoming cattle call. So what do you ask when you have less than 30 seconds?  The default is to … [Read more...]

Big Comfy Bed

September 9, 2010 by shawnd

A few months ago, I announced (bravely, some might say) that my wife and I are co-sleepers.  Pea has never been a good sleeper and since Day 1 preferred the comfort of her parents over the loneliness of her crib.  We have always been receptive to this arrangement.  We work long … [Read more...]

Teaching Kids about Money Makes Good Cents

October 28, 2008 by Rob

Money. It's something we all eventually earn and use, but often without much guidance or training. Although its face value is covered in school, wouldn't it have been nice if someone had given you a few lessons on how to handle money when you were young? While it may be impossible to travel in time, … [Read more...]
