This one is sure to be hot! Planes, by the creators of Cars, released this summer – in August to be exact. I can’t wait – especially fun because I know my nephew would go nuts for this adorable animated movie. Love the concept of talking planes, trains or automobiles. I can’t wait to see what they have in store next.

My newest piece of art via Posterjack Do you develop your pictures anymore? I know I don’t. I use them on my blog and sometimes I turn them into screenshots for any of the electronic devices in my home, but as for developing them and having a hard copy of my special moments, well that somehow has been a casualty of the digital age. My generation simply doesn’t do that anymore. My Mom still asks me for pictures, but really I haven’t done that in so long I would hardly know who to trust with my photos. Just a few…

The Yummy Mummy Club’s Erica Ehm and Dr. Tiffany Chow A couple of months ago I was invited to The Yummy Mummy Club event for The Memory Clinic. The Memory Clinic by Doctor Tiffany Chow, published by Penguin Books, was of particular interest to me because of the health care journey we have been on with my mother. Chow is one of the esteemed women of Baycrest, a world-renowned retirement home facility in Toronto that specializes in compassionate care for those struggling with dementia. I was thrilled to visit the facility and fairly wowed by the book, as well as…

Without a doubt adoptive parenting is the hardest thing you will ever do. But it can also be the most rewarding. For us, adoption was the only way we were going to become a family. It is the greatest gift we ever received and we are always grateful. However, adoptive parenting is not the same as traditional parenting. From the start this journey is harder. You will go through all sorts of grief and loss just to get here often. And then it will be intrusive. It will be hard and also very worth it. But you might question that…

It was one of those days. You know the kind where the kids come home sick and you suspect the *flu* bug they have contracted isn’t really viral at all. Especially since the one child quite clearly seems as hyper as ever with no sign of flu, or cold, or anything else really. So, what do you do? Well, luckily a craft kit from Green Kid crafts arrived today and my little sick just turned nine-year-old, was completely over the moon. I made her wait so I could take some pictures. There were three full crafts in the music of…

It’s the signature green you notice first. But the business atmosphere is a very close second. But wait, what’s that? The smell of fresh baked cookies daily? Gourmet coffee brewing? Free wifi? The open spaces, bright lit aisles and clean organized lines of the London, Ontario storage facility are characteristics of Storage Worx that set them clearly miles apart from the competition. This is not your average storage place, in fact there’s very little that is average about the award-winning Storage Worx. Storage Worx is a top notch business centre that caters to clients who store their goods, files, or…

My daughter Ainsley doesn’t have eczema, but she does have extremely sensitive skin. That’s part and parcel for a child living with sensory processing disorder. She is easily irritated by many things and synthetic fabrics make her even itchier. Her skin is extremely dry also, so we use cream often. When Ainsley was little we experimented with many cosmetic options and lotions. But lotions that are overly greasy or scented also irritated her. It took us months and a whole lot of trial and error to figure out what worked. Lipikar Baume AP is one product that is gentle enough…
