    What to Expect When You’re Turning 50

    January 11, 2018 - By 

    Turning 50 is a huge milestone birthday. These days it seems like a lot of my friends are turning 50, or getting close. I’m not far off from 50 myself, and this year I have started recognizing this means physical changes. Nothing surprised me so much as when my metabolism changed dramatically at 40. So, since I’m interested in what’s going to start happening to me and what I should do, I figure a lot of other soon-to-be-50 ladies will be interested, as well. What to Expect When You’re Expecting the Big 5-Oh As women age, we experience changes in…

    Top Florida Hotspots Chosen by Canadian Travel Bloggers

    January 9, 2018 - By 

    This week I am in Florida again. Just passing through on our way to a cruise. But I am always thrilled to visit Florida, even when it’s a short stay, or a conference. Florida is a dependable travel destination. And there’s always something new and exciting to discover. This year, I thought I’d ask several of my favourite Canadian travel bloggers what their picks are for Top Florida Hotspots in 2018. As a tourist destination, despite the ups and downs of the Canadian dollar, and the political climate, Florida is still a tourist mecca with much to offer. It’s still…

    What’s Your Word of the Year for 2018?

    January 2, 2018 - By 

    What’s your word of the year? Every year for the last 6 years in a row I have chosen a word or phrase to guide my personal and professional attitude for the year. This has often been a really positive proactive experience for me. The year I chose Grow, I grew. The year I chose productivity I was productive. And so on. My word of the year is my philosophy or vision. I was astonished actually when I went back through my files this week and discovered I have been doing this for longer than I thought. In fact, I…

    How to Make Captain America Oreos

    December 28, 2017 - By 

    These Captain America Oreos will charm any Marvel fan. My younger daughter is the world’s biggest Captain America fan. She adores Chris Evans, and Captain America is her favourite of all the Avengers. Lately she’s been tracking all of the information about the next movie, Avengers: Infinity War. The release date, the timing of the premiere April 25, 2018 and where it could be. In our house, it’s all about Cap. All the time. And Black Widow too of course. Scar Joe is admittedly kickbutt in all the movies. Fan fiction, news, twitter and Instagram. If they write about either…

    My Seven Favourite Dublin Experiences

    December 26, 2017 - By 

    I had so many amazing Dublin experiences recently when visiting the city in the Fall. Dublin is a creative, amazing city that recently earned National Geographic’s Best of the World distinction and it’s easy to see why. If you have not been yet I strongly suggest finding a way to visit. It’s more than worth the time and energy to get there. Stop and savour the Dublin food scene. So many Irish Showstoppers that are memorable and truly well done. Stroll the city by foot, and take a tour while you are there too. Consider this Game of Thrones and…

    December 20, 2017 - By 

    OMG the countdown is on. This month flies by way too fast. Soon the kids are done school and we have no grand plans yet. Feeling kind of disorganized this year actually. I can’t decide how we are spending the week or two after Christmas and New Year’s. Regardless of what we do after the big event I know we will take some time together as a family to relax. It is so needed this year. What are your big plans this season? I know the days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve can be crazy with kids all hyped…
