So How Are We Doing Easter During a Pandemic?
But are we even doing Easter this year? We’ve gone back and forth on this actually, a few times this year. I mean honestly no judgement at all if you are taking it easy and simply getting through. But this week, I did a fair bit of reading and a whole lot of thinking. What would Easter look like in the middle of a pandemic? Would we be doing Easter? Our original plan was to drive to my brother’s home in Toronto. But that was back in February before we’d even heard the term Covid-19. Before spring vacations were cancelled and people started dying of a virus that was travelling…

A New Twist on Traditional S’Mores Treats
S’Mores Treats are the ultimate summer indulgence. Perfect for a campfire and equally memorable just for a night at home after a day spent enjoying summer vacation. They are synonymous with camping too, aren’t they? So simple to make and so good after a day spent outdoors hiking, fishing, swimming or relaxing at the beach. One year I visited Daytona Beach for a media trip and the resort I stayed in with a bunch of other travel writers offered a s’mores kit for every visitor. LOVED that. Traditional S’Mores are so easy to make and great to share with friends and family. These are not your traditional S’Mores treats, but many…

The Gold Bunny Easter App, celebrates the legendary Lindt gold bunny and gives back to Children’s Aid Societies in Canada with every download. Lindt Canada is celebrating the launch of a beautifully written and illustrated storybook app entitled “The Bell that Rang in Easter” My family feels strongly about Children’s Aid.

15 Scrumptious Christmas Cookies
Cookies, cookies cookies! Do you have a little cookie monster in your house? Maybe you are one yourself! True story – I was a total cookie monster in university. I fuelled up with cookies, rice krispie squares and coffee. Now I try to eat healthier and sometimes I win that battle but I still have a weakness for cookies. This year I will purposefully take a pass on anything high in sodium, but my new low sodium diet and health eating process doesn’t mean I skip all the treats. I think there’s something about cookies that brings out the kid in all of us. And it’s Christmas, who doesn’t love Christmas cookies? This…
