This is the story of how my medical records got taken for ransom. Well, perhaps that’s a bit dramatic. But last week I got a call from a private service telling me I can buy back copies of my family’s medical records for the Low Low price of $500. So this is what happened next…I texted, tweeted, messaged, bartered, and complained. Then I wrote a post that got me syndicated over at Blogher.com. Read the full post here on Blogher.com. It’s called That Time I had to Pay $500 for my medical records. If you love me, share the post or…

One thing we’ve never had much of here is building toys. I mean we had blocks that Ainsley could stack and we have had dolls. And we sure have Barbie dolls everywhere. But lately my daughter has started asking increasingly for things that are fun building kits. I have resisted. We were sent this for review and giveaway and when she spied it well, her eyes lit up. So we set about building it Sunday night after dinner. Mega Bloks Barbie Build ‘ N Play Super Star Stage combines the best of both worlds for my girls. It’s a building…

Shutterstock images This was an oddball week. A dog’s breakfast really. My kitchen is done. Stay tuned for the reveal. It looks great. So Yay! I had a stager come and look at our house to see what needs to be done. Boo. Not suprisingly she loved the new kitchen. Yay. And hated everything else. Boo. Just kidding. She didn’t really say that. I mean she’d not have many clients if she did, right? So painting and decluttering has become my life. Yay! I mean Boo! I had a pile of giveaways launched and a pile more coming next week.…

There are only so many remarkable and unique gift ideas out there and tweens can be hard to buy for. But happily I have the perfect idea for all the tweens in your life this Christmas. Planet Sock Monkey takes an old concept and makes it new again with this quirky line of punked out weirdo Sock Monkeys. We picked up Magenta Beetsch at Blogher13 in the summer and over the last few months I have been wishing I picked up more at the time. I can think of every single one of my nieces and nephews (well, the tween…

Looking for that one of a kind unique gift to share with a special family member this time of year? Or perhaps your art is old and a wee bit tired, like mine. I am in the process of decluttering and cleaning this house up so we can prepare to put our home on the market. While doing that I am evaluating what we stays and what goes. I am also eagerly aniticipating fresh starts. A blank wall is a canvas of sorts, that can take on whatever colour, shape, personality, or style you want. When we get to where…
