As soon as I heard that I would be interviewing Tamzin Merchant (who plays Henry VIII's fifth wife, Catherine Howard) and Torrance Coombs (who plays Thomas Culpepper), from the acclaimed Irish/Canadian show, I immediately took to the twitters and to facebook to ask what UrbanMoms and Juice fans … [Read more...]
Twenty Minutes with Heartland’s Amber Marshall and Graham Wardle
When I first opened up the screener for the season 4 premiere of Heartland (also it's 50th episode!), I hesitated. I worried that this CBC drama, set on an Alberta horse ranch backdrop might bore me some, since I know nothing about horses. BUT HOO BOY WAS I PROVEN WRONG. See, here's the thing. A … [Read more...]
Glee Season 2 Premiere – “Audition”
Well, everyone's back and it seems that the Glee club is still at the bottom of the social pyramid (not unlike Miss Santana is with her vine-ripened chest fruit). Finn and Rachel are still together. Everyone thought Brittany went away on vacation this summer, but really she was getting lost in … [Read more...]
Twenty Minutes with Connor Undercover’s Max Morrow
I'm not going to lie.

What I Miss…
Do you ever miss the previous incarnation of yourself? The one pre-motherhood. I'm a stay-at-home-mom. I feel very fortunate to do so, but I had a life before my boys. I had a career that I more than willingly not just put aside, I ended. As in closed the book on that … [Read more...]
So Here’s a Question…
Wait, first I have to give you the back story. When my Mother-in-law was last out to visit she asked me if I would record The Bachelorette, as she was missing that night's episode. The next day she wanted to watch it, & both boys were napping, so I watched with her … [Read more...]
New TV Season! New TV Season!
Kath here, parachuting in for new mom Margot, who barely has time to remember her own middle name never mind watch TV or go to movies, so busy is she with her little guys. And given that I am el-cheapo, I also have not been to any movies lately (although I did watch Sex and the City three times on … [Read more...]
What would you watch to dull the pain of labour?
Well, as you have probably assumed by my absence here over the last week, our newest little one arrived on Saturday a week & a half early. Luckily, my Mom had arrived a few days early because of my wonderful late pregnancy issues. She was due to arrive that afternoon around … [Read more...]
