Teens Working Out: How Much is Too Much?

January 19, 2017 by Scarlett Ballantyne Leave a Comment

Working out has never been my personal go-to for stress release or an endorphin rush. Learning how to incorporate a workout regime into my life has taken time and discipline, and is a practice that I wish I had started much earlier in life. As a teenager, I was only involved in sports for a short … [Read more...]

My Teenage Daughter Broke Up With Her Boyfriend. So Why Am I So Upset?

January 11, 2017 by Scarlett Ballantyne 7 Comments

I don’t think any parent would say that the moment your child starts dating is an easy one. Even when they start with an innocent crush, it still feels odd to think that your baby is now having feelings for someone other than their family. I have always encouraged my kids to be open about their … [Read more...]

Is Your Teenager Entitled To An Allowance?

October 13, 2016 by Scarlett Ballantyne 1 Comment

As a kid, I was enamoured with the idea of an allowance. In the 80s, there were plenty of happy families portrayed on television tossing the word allowance around casually. I think what I liked most about it was the idea that you could get paid once a week, or every two weeks, just by virtue of … [Read more...]

All The Beauty That Lies Beneath

October 25, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

This is my new favourite thing to do. First you get on a boat in the tropics (lake fish are the ugly sisters to tropical fish; no colour, no jazz, and they all look alike). Go out far into the ocean until you get to a reef. Put on your snorkel, mask and fins.  And courage. And get close to some … [Read more...]

TIFF REPORT: What’s in the Celebrity Gift Bag?

September 7, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

It's been a crazy few days here in Toronto with the Film Festival in full swing. Celebrities are being whisked from  press conferences, screenings, parties and interviews. We know they all get "gifts" wherever they go so we were invited to take a sneak peek inside a few of Toronto's best gifting … [Read more...]

The First Thing I Did When I Got There

September 3, 2013 by Nancy 5 Comments

This past weekend marked the 7th anniversary of the end of my marriage. I spent it in a brand new and wonderful way. Labour Day weekend has, for more than a dozen years, always looked a certain way; family cottage weekend, organizing of binders and books, end of summer BBQ, sharpening pencils, … [Read more...]

A Sip and a Sigh.

July 30, 2013 by Emily 5 Comments

The smell of canola isn't strong, but it is distinct, and there it was wafting on the wind on the breezy Saturday we found ourselves at Georgian Hills Vineyards. It was one of many bits of idyll in that magical place, where for the few hours we were there I found myself relaxing, watching the clouds … [Read more...]

Had a Blass!

July 10, 2013 by Emily 13 Comments

Beautiful location, over a dozen hilarious women (and one funny fella!), amazing food, and a few (too many?) glasses of cold, delicious wine? I had it all, my friends, and it was fabulous. [View the story "HadABlass" on Storify] … [Read more...]

Bad Hair Day

May 29, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

When you live in Toronto you already know how our weather can change from cold to hot and back again all within 24 hours. Yesterday I could see my breathe and I was freezing when I went to pick up my son from school. This morning it is humid and sticky hot before 9 am. And then there's my hair. … [Read more...]

Turning off. Turning on.

May 28, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

With kids around having "cuddle time" is not always so "spur of the moment" anymore. As a parent, one must ensure that the kiddies are in their deepest time of their sleep cycle. But we all know how important it is to make time for your partner, right? I recently had a chance to interview Dr. … [Read more...]
