My 6 Favourite Podcasts for the Morning Commute

Paula — Fri, 16 Dec 2022 03:02:55 +0000

So, it’s been awhile since I shared a little about what I am up to these days. Six months ago I took a position as social lead at a marketing agency in Cambridge, just outside Toronto. I lead a team of talented social media professionals and I enjoy that. It’s a hybrid job which is the way of the post-pandemic world. Two days a week I drive to Cambridge, about an hour and ten minutes from my house in London, so I have time in the van and have discovered podcasts. These are 6 of my favourite podcasts to listen to in the van on the way to work. They are entertaining and educational and I think there’s a little something for everyone here. It’s no big secret that I like to support female entrepreneurs and I am lucky enough to know and to celebrate several of them, even some I call friends. When a few of my OG blogging friends launched podcasts I was excited to take them for a test-drive. They have become my go to first choices in my spare time too often. But in the car, when I can tune into the message and tune out the dullness of the drive to work, I can enjoy using the third space to learn. My Favourite Podcasts What She Said with Candace Sampson What She Said with Candace Sampson is the podcast I listen to religiously each week. When a new episode drops I am more than ready for it. Candace has a tremendously funny side, but she’s also got some pretty formidable skills at interviewing and has clearly got the right formula down. She makes my day several times a month when I tune into the segments about social justice topics I care about and want to learn more about. From experts who tackle parenting neurodiverse teens to travel experiences you’ll want to bookmark or add to your bucket list, plus the latest roundup of entertainment news and movie reviews, Candace cleverly packs the hour with information. Chatter That Matters with Tony Chapman This is a podcast I honestly didn’t even know about until last month and now Tony Chapman is a regular in my podcast lineup. How did I find this one? Erica Ehm often talks about Tony Chapman and I have heard her refer to him a few times on LinkedIn. I think it was the week she shared the episode featuring her sister Leslie that got me hooked because she’s genuinely fascinating and has lived many lives already and their conversation together just seemed flawless almost effortless. Chapman truly has the art of the gab. He covers fewer topics in one episode than some of the other choices on this list but that means he goes in depth with all the episodes I’ve heard so far. This one is really well done and he’s a respectful and talented interviewer also. Love that. Want to listen? I recommend this episode of Chatter That Matters featuring educator Ken Wong. Clearing a New Path with Shauna Rae Last year, I was working at a small marketing agency in Zorra Township, just outside London when someone mentioned Shauna Rae’s name in the context of a conference that was being planned. Her name wasn’t entirely unknown to me so I thought I’d check her podcast out. Often the topics she covers have a rural angle and as someone who lives in London, Ontario I find that interesting. Year one was focused on rural woman-identifying non binary and queer entrepreneurs. The diversity of the topics and guests makes this one of my picks for my favourite podcasts. My favourite episode from there recent days is this one featuring Anne Douglas. Avery Bright Life Lisa Thornbury and her amazing daughter Avery both do Avery Bright Life together and they tackle building independence as Avery grows. Episodes like When to Step in and When to Step Back provide great insight into how to parent a child who is not neurotypical. I love that Lisa’s lived experience is raw and honest and she never pulls any punches. She has a wicked sense of humour and shares that every episode. Her positive attitude and humorous take on life and the challenges in parenting keep me coming back. Here’s one of my favourite episodes. Big Blend Radio Lisa and Nancy are a mother daughter duo who share their adventures and interview travel writers, as well as industry leaders and those who somehow intersect with travel or hospitality. They have a wonderful conversational tone that I have always found charming and easy to engage with on the way to work or on a Sunday morning over coffee. They also have a ridiculous number of travel and lifestyle magazines. Full disclosure – I did one of their shows a couple of years ago. It was an episode about getting outdoors and celebrating spring break in Vermont. What makes this one of my favourite podcasts is the duo themselves to be honest. Lisa and Nancy do a spectacular job of leading a conversation and educating listeners to all the ways one can see the world. Ten Percent Happier This Ten Percent Happier is one that I started over a year ago, because I was looking to grow positivity and gratitude and build a stronger mindset. I mean, I think that is a goal for a lot of people. This is a social psychology kind of podcast that has a self help slant. Listen in when you need a little motivation or simply when you are in a rut. Thinking About Starting a Podcast? You might want to read up on getting started. Here’s an easy to read podcasting book. The Blue Yeti bundle is highly recommended by Amazon and many people I know. This post contains affiliate links as a service to readers. Do you have any favourite podcasts. Share your favourites so I can listen too.

Photo Showcase for the Digital Age

Paula — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 10:27:44 +0000

This Nixplay photo showcase post was sponsored by Nixplay and I received product in exchange for consideration here. A photo showcase is a great way to show off your favourite memories. From family gatherings and trips to those memorable get-togethers with friends, a photo showcase allows you to share your most cherished memories with anyone who visits your home and always keeps those moments in your heart. There was a time when showcasing my photos meant I had to devote an entire wall to several photos. That’s a great way to do it, but when you run out of walls or if you don’t have a lot of wall space, to begin with, it’s not the best answer. That’s especially true when you have as many memories as I do. My family and I have traveled quite a bit, and I have tons of photos that I’ve taken over the years. Some of them are extremely special to me. That’s why I love my Nixplay Smart Photo Frame. It allows me to keep all my favourite photos in one frame. Photo Showcase with Nixplay Smart Photo Frame I have an older version of Nixplay Smart Photo Frame set up in my office, and I love it. Last month, my younger daughter asked me if she could have one. These days, we are reliving travel and adventure through our photos and memories and Nixplay is helping us do that. The frame is 10 inches and has 8GB of storage, so we can load a ton of photos onto it. And I have! Sometimes when I work I let the travel photos flip past and it makes me happy. I relive a different memory every time I look at it. I’m so pleased with my frame that I’ve gotten one for my daughter, as well. She set hers up in her room so she can have all her favourite memories nearby, as well. My daughter loves our trips, and she loves to take photos when she’s with her friends. These days, those memories are more important than ever. I know that having this frame will help her navigate these times and look back on fond memories while she thinks about making new ones in the future. Get a Nixplay for Yourself or a Loved One The Nixplay Smart Photo Frame makes it easy to create your own photo showcase, and that makes it a great gift for yourself or a loved one. Get one for yourself to keep all your precious memories close, or get one as a gift for a family member.

Simply load it up with all the best of the best photos of the year and even previous years – it has plenty of storage – and give it as a gift to those important people in your life that can’t always be with you. If you’re looking for a new way to create the perfect photo showcase, the Nixplay Smart Photo Frame is the perfect way to do it.

Best Educational Fun Steam Toys To Give Right Now

Paula — Fri, 04 Sep 2020 17:34:54 +0000

STEAM toys are toys related to the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. As technology advances rapidly, knowledge of related topics will become more and more important. Most parents and professionals already know that. I received product in the form of Steam toys for consideration here. Post may contain affiliate links. My opinion is all my own and it is truthful.

Take the Stem Challenge Now and Keep Learning

Paula — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 13:46:46 +0000

Is it time for a STEM challenge? Post contains affiliate links as a service to readers. I receive a small commission via qualifying purchases. Keep Them Entertained and Learning Right now, with a return to school still a bit uncertain and summer in full glow, you might be hunting for ways to engage the kids in educational activities. I don’t know about your children, but mine have always loved hands on kinaesthetic learning. It’s simply how my kids learn best. They are hands on and visual as well. Auditory is lower down on the list for my kids anyways. So, if you want them to retain something, often that requires multiple modalities as they say. Hands on and STEM activities help to do that. Is Baking a Stem Activity? Here’s an example – something as simple as baking can be a STEM learning opportunity. Your child has to read the recipe instructions and they need to measure and then add ingredients, as per the recipe notes. At the end, they see whether the baking rose or not, or whether a specific combination of ingredients and spices produced a reaction or a certain flavour. Love letting my teens loose in the kitchen. They have come up with some spectacular recipes here. Try this one – > Glazed Apple Cinnamon Bread My Scientists When one was small, she invented her own science projects. I would often find her hiding in the upstairs washroom doing experiments with simple ingredients like baking soda and vinegar and things like that. It was messy, but she enjoyed it and I tried to remind her cleaning up after is part of the process. These days, they make Harry Potter potions occasionally and sometimes they make fake makeup, especially around Halloween. Fake blood is a hit here. READ THIS If you are into Solar System Projects, Don’t Miss this post – > 15 Solar System Projects to Do With Your Kids Do This Stem Challenge Together When stuck for ideas, this creative and fun Stem Challenge will help. STEM learning is a vital part of education. It is the focus of many fun kid’s toys and Stem games. With an increasing number of career opportunities surrounding STEM and the advancement of technology in general, it’s important for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to play a larger role in children’s education. Stem toys, experiments and activities, even now, during the summer can help keep your kids engaged and busy, as they learn new concepts and skills. Need a Challenge? Are you hunting for ways to keep the kids engaged and learning right now? Maybe it’s just the right time for a Stem Challenge. Make a lava lamp! That’s one I am hoping to make myself still. Cargo airplane, why not? Science in the Summer Last year, we went to Smugglers’ Notch at the start of the summer. They offer STEM day activities as part of their resort activities guide. So, one morning we headed up to the lodge where the STEM instructor was and we built roller coasters together. Making a Roller Coaster Jim, my husband, and Ainsley were on one team and Payton and I were on another. We had masking tape, marbles and insulated tubing (sort of like pool noodles) and had to balance out the weight so the marbles flew through the roller coaster track. Surprisingly, this is more challenging than it looks. Use These Stem Challenge Cards Download the full list of Stem Cards here now. Click the link below for the five page Stem Challenge cards.

Streaming More Specialty Channels With a Roku Express

Paula — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 00:34:51 +0000

For years, I have actually wanted to get my hands on a ROKU Express. I’ve wondered often if my Netflix subscription would stream better via the ROKU and I have even gone so far as to source some, but just didn’t pull the trigger at the electronics store. I received product in exchange for consideration here. A Better Viewing Experience This month, I finally got a ROKU Express and now I can see what the fuss was about. We are loving the access to extra channels that we simply haven’t had here before in my home. For weeks, my one daughter has been asking for Disney Plus channel. She caught wind of the buzz about the channel and has been campaigning. Connected Families Anyways, we hooked up the ROKU Express and Disney Plus has been running here ever since. So, now I am gifting Disney Plus channel to her for her birthday. Don’t tell her this but it’s also a bit of a gift for me. Why? Because, my kids are both teens and they have zero interest in watching TV with us anymore. That changes occasionally when there’s something new on Netflix and also I glimpsed a little bit of this again when we tested out a new channel on Disney Plus via the Roku Express. All Roku streaming devices in Canada provide access to thousands of free and paid streaming services, including: Netflix, Prime Video, The Roku Channel, DAZN, Global TV, CBS All Access, Acorn TV, hayu, Britbox, VMedia and many more. Additionally, Roku players and Roku TVs can be used with the free Roku mobile app for iOS and Android, to enjoy private listening, voice search and more. So, understand that some of the specialty channels require additional payment. Others might not. Read the fine print always. Roku Express retails for somewhere between $40-$60. The new Roku Express is 10% smaller than its predecessor, is sleek and designed to blend in and disappear when connected to a TV. It can be fully powered by most TVs to reduce clutter around the TV. With the Roku Express consumers enjoy easy and smooth HD streaming. In the box a small remote control is included with popular streaming channel shortcut buttons, a High Speed HDMI® cable and a power cord. Now I’d love to tell you it was ridiculously easy to setup. And that would be mostly the truth. It was simple for my teenagers. I tried and failed. So, if you have a nearby teen or tween then you will be good and this will make an excellent gift for Easter, Mother’s Day or a birthday. More Tips Download the free app and access easily that way too. No cost for the equipment either, so that’s a benefit. Final Roku Express Thoughts ROKU Express makes a great gift and I’ve heard that this one travels well, so I plan to take it with me on a few trips to see if that holds true. It’s awesome to have something this simple adding value to our TV. Loving the extra channels and it streams fast. That’s a novelty for us.

Make Coding Fun with Botzees Now

Paula — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 12:41:00 +0000

Make coding fun with a toy that combines building and lots of entertaining puzzles alongside simple to understand coding. Botzees is a toy that combines all these elements into one experience that helps to make coding fun for kids. I received product for consideration here. I love that because as any long-time reader knows, I’m a huge supporter of STEM and figuring out ways to introduce it to our kids at an early age. That’s why I’m so excited about Botzees and how they approach coding. Technology is moving so fast these days. A few years ago, apps were an amazing new development. It seemed like we were in the dawn of a new age. Now I have a phone that has as much RAM and processing power as the computer I replaced a few months ago. Make Coding Fun for Kids The driving force behind these advancements is STEM, and the driving force behind that is the workforce that understands it. As our children grow, technology continues to advance. Whether they pursue a career in the sciences or not, it’s important for them to understand STEM. Botzees helps them do that from a young age. Botzees is designed to make coding fun for kids starting at as young as four years old. It combines coding with construction and puzzles to create an engaging platform that gets kids excited about what they’re doing and eager to learn more. Using coding, kids can make Botzee move, drum, dance, make sounds, and light up with a free app. The uniquely shaped, easy to grab coding blocks are designed to make coding easy to do and to understand for youngsters so they actually learn coding concepts as they play. The 30 interactive Augmented Reality puzzles allow for even more fun and learning with visual cues as well, which is important at that age. I had a blast setting this toy up, downloading the app and making my robotic Botzees work. Botzees Highlights Botzees are uniquely designed to capture the imaginations of young children. These incredible robots come with: 130 coding blocks. 6 pre-designed Botzee layouts and the freedom to create their own. 30 interactive Augmented Reality puzzles that teach coding concepts like sequencing, looping, and conditional coding. Make Coding Fun Now for a Better Tomorrow Of course, gifts that promote a love of learning are great in the moment, but even more important is the future that they help build. When you make coding fun now with Botzees, you’re laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning in the future, and that translates to a more successful human being down the line. I’m in love with Botzees, and I think you will be, too. So grab one for the creative child in your life and make coding fun.

Best Tech Gifts She Will Love This Season

Paula — Mon, 09 Dec 2019 03:52:00 +0000

This season, I am stoked about several tech gifts for women. My favourite gifts are often books and tech gifts, because I am a gadget girl at heart. So, when these great gifts arrived here for testing and consideration I was thrilled to be able to use them and have some fun. I feel like these picks are definitely tech gifts she will love! I received product for consideration in best tech gifts she will love. My opinion is all my own. May contain affiliate links. Here are Three of my Favourite Tech Gifts for Her this Season. Listen, fun and useful tech gifts are always a great choice in my opinion. They are useful in the same way that many others gifts are useful, but they also have that wow factor that things like small appliances might not. So, regardless of her age or stage, these will be a hit under the Christmas tree. Fujifilm Instax Mini My oldest daughter has had a Fujifilm Instax Mini for seven years or more. She loves it and has taken it on every trip and cruise we have been on, used it at every single birthday party or pool party. She also packed it and took it to camp with her several years ago. Those cute camp photos hang on a board in her room as a memory of her two weeks trekking through northern Ontario, kayaking and living outside, sleeping under the clouds. So, I figured it was time to check out the Instax Mini myself this winter. I packed it and hauled it with me on my 12-day trip through the southern USA. This is the perfect gift for a teenager or a tween. It’s fun and this version of the Instax Mini has a little selfie lens clip on attachment that adds to the fun and novelty of the gift. Listen, these are not high res photos, but they are fun and fast and it can be amusing to watch them develop in front of your eyes. I suspect we will all use this one. The Instax Mini 9 itself is quite affordable and this is the kind of gift I would have been all over as a kid. If you are looking to level that gift up just a bit get her an Instax Mini package deal with the filters and fun films. Happy Plugs Air1 in-ear truly wireless headphones in pink gold!! SQUEE! These pair easily with a reliable Bluetooth 5.0 connection and any smartphone or device. The sound quality is exceptional and they make the best gift for someone who is always on the go. Mine stay in my purse, so that I can use them whenever I travel and wherever I go. These make my best tech gifts list because they are fashionable and they work extremely well. Happy Plugs Air1 in-ear truly wireless headphones provide up to 14 hours of playtime in Happy Plugs’ signature contemporary design. These airbuds have 14 different touch commands. The perfect gift in my opinion. Pictionary Air You know and love Pictionary the traditional family game, right? So, now there’s a tech take on the old favourite. Download the app and draw your scenes in the air and then take your best guesses with Pictionary Air. Again, Pictionary Air is quite affordable as are all of these gifts this season. This is perfect for Mom or Dad actually. It’s also a great gift for a young teen, you know the ones who are at an age where they don’t yet detest hanging out with Mom or Dad. Download the Pictionary Air app and get the pen, then draw your picture in the air and see it on the device and mirror to your TV. Interact with the sketch like charades while your team tries to guess as many clues as they can before time is up. I actually think this is the perfect Christmas game because everyone can get in on it after the turkey dinner, or even before as you wait for the turkey and all the fixings to be done. The Best Tech Gifts for Her This Season You can’t go wrong with any of these tech gifts. They are all affordable and entertaining. These are some of my picks for the best tech gifts for her at Christmas 2019.
