BOOKS None of my usual suspense/thrillers for you this month – I branched out! After You by JoJo Moyes (an excellent sequel to the bestseller Me Before You; this one didn’t pull at my heartstrings quite as much, but it was fun to revisit characters that I knew and loved from the first book) Sushi For […] Read more…
I was thrilled to be invited back for my fourth (can you believe it?) appearance on CTV’s THE SOCIAL, this time sharing insider back-to-school tips for parents.

When her latest film, Miracles From Heaven (from the same producers as […] Read more…
It’s summertime, and I know I will be sitting poolside with a book (or magazine) as much as possible! (Hey, I’m not lazy – I’m actually writing this post while on the treadmill!) Here are my latest book recommendations: Be Frank With Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson The publisher describes this one better than I […] Read more…
So, if you’ve ever missed an episode of Teacher, Teacher on CHEX Daily, now’s your chance to catch up!

HGTV’s fun new series Home to Win features 20 of the network’s stars (you may have heard of Sarah Richardson, Bryan Baeumler, Scott McGillivray and Mike Holmes, for example) who have come together to renovate one home from top to bottom…oh, and did I mention you can audition to win the house?! Since my pending job change has […] Read more…

We also chatted about the upcoming second season […] Read more…
