It’s Thursday, so here we are cooking in the kitchen with kids. Easy peasy this week and yet, oh so yummy. I saw a variation of this on Pinterest and wanted to try it. So this is what we started with. Oh so yummy and nutritious blueberries. Did you know they are a superfood? Yes, they are. Also they contain great nutrients that help your skin and protect your brain from Alzheimer’s Disease. I love that. Then I added this. My favourite yogurt. I can generally only find at Costco. And we rolled all the delicious berries in yogurt. And…

Odds are good that if you are a parent and your kids are home this summer, they want to craft. I know mine do. All the time. Sometimes it is actually overwhelming trying to find crafts that keep us all engaged. (This I admit is not my strength.) So happily, this week our #LinkedMoms chat has great guest host Cynthia Gagen joining us (@cyngagen on twitter is well known as a crafty gal and a savvy social media practitioner. Oh and she’s local. Cyn(thia) Gagen honed her creative skills in cooking, crafting, teaching, parenting, and loving life by being a (sometimes annoying)…

I don`t often post these previews, but this was sent to me today and I watched it and honestly started crying. It is rare that a movie hits me that fast. The Odd Life of Timothy Green has all my favourite themes: infertility, adoption, love, faith, hope, special needs, differences, childhood. And it looks to have a healthy dose of magic realism. So breath-taking! I can`t wait. This summer has already given us Brave, a beautiful story for young girls and a captivating red-haired non-traditional princess named Merida. I am blown away that we might get two amazing family movies…

This is my daughter enjoying Sunfest. When we moved to London 12 years ago I had no idea the city had so many amazing festivals. At the time, I had little love for this new city we had moved to, but the city grew on me, slowly through summer festivals like Sunfest and Ribfest and all the other incredible events that make the city unique. In Guelph, when I was growing up I remember fondly visiting the multi-cultural festival every summer. It was an event and a tradition that defined the city of Guelph. It is also one of those…

There are very few things in life that can make a woman feel as sexy as a great hair colour, style or cut. Beautiful hair that looks healthy just makes you feel some kind of way. I am that girl. Always have been. The girl who likes her hair to look good and demands that her hair products or brands keep pace with a busy lifestyle. In my 40s, I have a need to touch up those little annoying greys that show up every so often at the temple. Hydrating and Curl Defining I like quality hair products that…

Where children are concerned I am always conscious of the opportunities to teach empathy and differences. Kids are sponges after all and there are so many chances to teach them acceptance and tolerance and compassion. Books and experiences in real life can be most effective, but occasionally I like to supplement their learning with screen time. Computers and TV and DVDs that build on diversity, different cultures and languages have alsways been great tools in our home. So when I heard about the Nelly & Caesar Kids Collection and Castle Farm and Happy Valley, well I was excited to get…

Post brought to you by Insurance Hunter. All opinions are 100% mine. I am nothing if not a thrifty shopper and a bargain hunter. So when I discovered an on line insurance site for Ontario drivers that challenges me to hunt for my best rates for car insurance, I was happy to give it a whirl. Insurance Hunter.ca is fast and easy to use. If you have all your information available, including the make and model of your vehicle, the year you got your driver’s license and the number of no fault accidents you have been in, then the site…
