I have to thank Sandra E. Martin for tweeting out this quote last weekend (since I haven’t read the book or seen the movie myself). As soon as I read it, I loved it: “Everything will be alright in the end. And if it’s not alright – it’s not the end.” #BestExoticMarigoldHotel — Sandra E. […] Read more…
Real Mom of Los Angeles: Special Guest Post
I’m really excited today to bring you a guest post from Virginia Cunningham, a Los Angeles-based writer and mom. While I think I would fit in better in New York than California (except for the weather, of course!) I am totally into Hollywood happenings, and have many preconceived notions about what it would be like […] Read more…
Wednesday Words About Control

Time To Take Your Family Outside: Guest Post on Outdoor Fun
I will admit that I’m not great at getting outside with my girls. I’m an indoor girl myself, and too focused on productivity and multitasking to just stop and smell the flowers (though now being able to read/work poolside is definitely a huge draw). I love that my daughters have reached the age that I can send […] Read more…
My Entertainment Tonight Canada Audition
So, remember back when I changed my profile photo, and I mentioned that I was all dressed up for a reason? Yeah, so this was the reason. And I’ve finally worked up my nerve to tell you all about it. Back in March, Entertainment Tonight Canada put out a call for guest cohost audition videos, […] Read more…
“The Search Angel” by Tish Cohen (Review)
So, I’m a little embarrassed to say that this is the first book I’ve read from Canadian-born Tish Cohen. The funny thing is, when publishers contact me about adult fiction, I usually pass, since I’m quite picky about what I like, and don’t want to waste my time. When I was asked if I wanted […] Read more…

What’s Your Favourite Classic Book?
So, I just read The Great Gatsby for the first time (yes, because of the movie!) and I realized that I really haven’t read many English classics. I was a French major, so most of my English lit was studied in high school, where I remember poetry, a lot of modern selections, and Shakespeare (specifically […] Read more…
Shopping: Burberry Wallet and EcoKids Sandwich Containers
Okay, sure, one might argue that the two purchases I am discussing today are clearly unrelated. If I were not just finishing EQAO with my brain a little bit fried, I might even try to argue back and somehow make the two connect (save money reusing containers, have more money to put in wallet? Or better […] Read more…
Family Fun at Centreville Amusement Park
I’ve always wanted to take the girls to Centreville Amusement Park, and the beautiful long weekend gave us perfect opportunity. I dragged out the surprise for a couple of days, giving clues for good behaviour (I know, I’m a great mom). Clue # 1: It’s in Toronto but we’re not sleeping over. Clue # 2: We […] Read more…
