My talented and hilarious friend Emily, from Emily D Photography, is guest posting for me today. Over the many years that I’ve known her, Emily has taken my head shots and various family photos. She recently has helped me create the most precious and priceless gift for John for Father’s Day; a decade photo book. […]
Watch cooking demos by chefs from local restaurants & more on Miele Live.
It goes without saying that Covid-19 has changed the way we do almost everything… including interacting with others, shopping, and eating out.

Our Life in Quarantine – the first 2 months
I decided to keep a journal of sorts of our time in quarantine. Not because it was extraordinary for us compared to others, but because the situation is extraordinary, and I want to remember certain details in the future. I feel like my kids will ask me about this time, and I want to remember […]
We adopted kittens during quarantine and it was the best decision ever
I feel like this might be very common at the moment. I’m sure we all know a friend who had adopted a pet since the pandemic began. Of course our decision to adopt kittens didn’t come lightly… It went something like this: Kids for the past 2 years: I wish we can get a kitten […]

What I learned from having my son’s hockey team sleep over
It was Saturday of the long weekend and spontaneously, Kyle decided to invite his hockey team for a sleep over. We sent out the message pretty late so we weren’t expecting a huge turn out. However, it appeared that most of the kids were willing and available. Next thing I know, we’re having 10 kids […]
Our favourite winter family activities that are free!
Admittedly, I’m not a winter weather person – says a Canadian. But I’ve learned to embrace it. After all, it’s around for a good 4-6 months.
