In the Kitchen and Garden with Anne Parks

September 11, 2013 by Sonya 1 Comment

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...]

What happened to all those pennies?

July 2, 2013 by Sonya 2 Comments

The pennies are gone. Other than the handful you may still have wedged in between the couch cushions or lost in the abyss (aka the purse) somewhere, they are no longer wanted...although students from across Canada would tell you they are still needed. In fact, more than 3000 schools and thousands of … [Read more...]

Growing up.

May 23, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

I'm not sure when it happens. At some point in our lives, we all realize we're adults. (sometimes I think I'm starting to become my mother, but that's another story) Yep. Grown ups. Maybe it's when my teen son gives me a reality check about not cranking Ri-Ri too loud when his friends are around … [Read more...]

Jet Lag

May 1, 2013 by Sonya 1 Comment

I'm kinda surprised how easily I get jet lag when I travel. I need a day (or RedBull) to adjust when I get to my destination and if I'm going to somewhere beautiful like Europe, I really don't want to waste a day catching up on my zzz's. There's been some talk about having proper LED lighting to … [Read more...]

This festival starts this week and runs from April 25 to May 5. The programme is … [Read more...]
