What makes you beautiful with One Direction
After last weekend's brunch in a room full of munchkins "performing" this karaoke tune over and over again, and that only moms can really appreciate, you can't help but hum along for a few days after! You're probably wondering why I would spend a sunny Sunday afternoon listening to kids rock … [Read more...]
Chatting up filmmaker Rob Stewart, REVOLUTION.
It's just past 11 o'clock in the morning and I've made my way to Cafe Diplomatico or "The Dip" we've often referred to.

How would you describe yourself?
This is an interesting thought. Let's see....I how would describe myself... I am short. My nose is flat and wide, kinda like Winston Churchill. My lips are big. I have no eye lashes. Well not much anyway. My eyes are dark, almond shape and small. If I'm not smiling I look mad. Actually I … [Read more...]
Step 1. Naturally.
I've been learning more and more about the number of chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis. We are already in tuned with what we put IN our bodies and making choices that best suit our needs.

It was pretty moving on both counts … [Read more...]

It's one of my most favourite things to do whether I'm here or away. There's comfort and solitude in these public spaces … [Read more...]
All Aboard! TSO playing music for Kids!
There's so much to see and do in the big city and as a child growing up in Toronto, I was lucky to have been exposed to many great arts & culture events. I'm happy to see that my kids also get opportunities not only from us as parents but they also get exposure from their schools. In fact, this … [Read more...]
Where do you start?
It's been 13 years since we've moved into our house. Things are starting to look "well loved" and a tad dated. I'm eyeing the kitchen is the next big project. Jen Maier and I were discussing home renovations recently. I know she's been scoping out Pinterest and getting ideas for a while but we both … [Read more...]
