Seriously, what's not to love about these pint-sized little guys? They're funny, smart, mischievous and … [Read more...]
His Village
I've found in the past year or so, Cuyler has been invited to fewer and fewer birthday parties. Likely because the older kids get, they have fewer BIG parties and also because the older kids get, the less they have in common with him. Case in point - a classmate of Cuyler's was planning a golf … [Read more...]
In the Kitchen and Garden with Anne Parks
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...]
The Grab & Go Dilemma
I was on Facebook the other day and noticed a few status updates from my friends. There were few mentions of only consuming mass quantities of coffee for the day as they had lost track of time or couldn’t be bothered to fix themselves something to eat. We all laugh and give each other virtual high … [Read more...]
Breakfast On-the-Go
When it comes to the most important meal of the day, I'm a much better preacher than practicer.

You’re Lovin’ It…But How?
I am a creature of habit, in pretty much all aspects of my life. But, I am also someone who kind of has a mini-panic attack every time I go to a restaurant. You see, menus are daunting to me. There are so many options; too many options. I am always the person who has to tell the waiter to come back … [Read more...]
