So @johnnyreidofficial, my search for the perfect Valentine’s Day ❤️card ends here. Card | @farewellpaperie Available at | @silversteerandco A post shared […] Read more…
It’s the halfway mark of the school year, and I was back at The Social to share information about report cards and parent/teacher interviews. This time my mom was my date – and I think she really enjoyed a behind-the-scenes look at how the show operates. Thanks to Le Chateau for again hooking me […] Read more…

“Mommy, I don’t feel well…” We’ve all been there (despite good hygiene, lots of sleep and vaccinations such as the flu shot), and many of us have struggled with staying home from work or arranging alternate child care for our sick kids. It’s not easy! According to a recent Shoppers Drug Mart poll, 30% of adults […] Read more…
Syrian refugees: you can’t get a media (or social media) fix without hearing about them, but to most of us, the term is general and vague, not accurately representing the masses of individuals that it encompasses.
