Where would we be without Twitter? Not too long ago, I noticed that a company called Koba Entertainment had started following me on Twitter. Curious, I linked to their site to see what they were all about (exactly what they were aiming for, I’m sure!) and lucky for me I discovered that they produce original […] Read more…
In honour of the Power of Print campaign, I’ve decided to give you a regular roundup of my favourite bits and pieces from my vast repertoire of print magazines. Parents Magazine September 2010 “Parents don’t need to entertain their kids all the time, and this includes giving them lots of things to play with. Children […] Read more…
Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Caroline Connell, Editor-In-Chief of Today’s Parent magazine. (She would have my dream job, if teaching weren’t a vocation from which my heart sees no escape.) With a Master’s degree in Journalism and a nine year old son (John Lee), Connell is well-qualified to run the most read Canadian parenting magazine, with a circulation of […] Read more…
I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that you are reading this on a computer screen. (I know, I know, my psychic abilities are astounding.) The question is: how much of your reading do you do from a computer screen? Obviously I am a blogger, and also enjoy reading other people’s […] Read more…

Okay, the free time thing was a joke (you’re here because you’re a mom, right?), but today I’m sharing three sites that I like to visit just for fun. Obviously, if you only have a little bit of time you should stay right here, but if you happen to be on bedrest, or your boss […] Read more…
By popular demand (okay, my sister-in-law asked for it), here is a comprehensive list of the titles read by my fabulous book club over the past two years. I have ranked them in order of my preference, and linked to their Chapters/Indigo description. We began with the goal of reading more Canadian female writers, but obviously […] Read more…
I apologize to those readers joining us from foreign lands, but at this point, most of you are from our lovely province of Ontario, and therefore this trip is actually an option for you. (Don’t get me wrong: although it was a lot of fun, it’s probably not worth the trek for my readers in Kentucky […] Read more…
