    My 6 Favourite Podcasts for the Morning Commute

    December 15, 2022 / No Comments

    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…

    Six Netflix Series to Watch with Your Teen Now

    October 19, 2020 / No Comments

    These days we are spending so much more time in our homes that it’s inevitable at some points we resort to curling up on a sofa to watch Netflix. I have teens, so over the last seven months we have often looked at each other and said Netflix? So, we thought we’d share some recommendations for Netflix Series to Watch with Your Teen Now. Sometimes we all feel like binge watching something…and off we go often to the family room in the basement to queue up the next in a series. It’s actually something I enjoy on cold days when the weather is rainy or dreary or just not nice…

    Give The Gift of Sound with Bose Smart Speakers

    October 12, 2018 /

    This post is sponsored by Best Buy which means I received compensation.    When my husband turned 50 I bought him an amazing Bose surround sound system for the family room. Bose speakers are my favourite and we have a few Bose sound products here, because the sound quality is unparalleled in my opinion. So when I heard of a new family of Bose smart speakers and soundbars with tricked out features able to update as new software features are added, I was keen to see more and share my impressions here too.   Bose brings it every time in my opinion. The new Bose smart speakers and soundbars have built-in…

    19 Mojitos to Beat The Heat

    June 23, 2017 /

    It’s summer which around here means pool party. I don’t drink often, and when I do it’s the occasional social drink, mostly around the pool. My favourites are Margaritas and Mojitos. I like sweet cocktails or a simple white wine in the summer. Recently at a conference in Alabama I had a Blackberry Mojito which was divine. That got me thinking how many different types of mojitos are there? Did you know that he mojito is a classical Cuban drink? Not surprising since it is made with rum and associated with summer and warm weather. Rumour has it that Ernest Hemingway drank mojitos. Those two details alone actually make me…

    10 AWESOME Power Rangers Ideas – Crafts, Costumes and Recipes

    May 15, 2017 /

    One weekend recently I visited my niece and nephews in Toronto. We always have a great time when we drive to Toronto to see them and we had a delicious ham dinner too. My niece and nephews are 8, 6 and 3 and they are busy kids. The boys adore baseball so my youngest spent a lot of time playing catch. After dinner the TV went on. Netflix of course. My niece started jumping up and down singing the Power Rangers theme song, so that was what the kids ended up watching. The Power Rangers are so old they are new again. That totally astonishes me. But it really shouldn’t by now I…

    Family Friendly Entertainment with Wind at My Back #TMMGG16

    November 27, 2016 /

    Family friendly entertainment is important to me. I know my kids see and hear things out in the world that I have no control over. But at home, I want to make sure that the shows we watch are pretty wholesome. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not All PG, All The Time. We’ll watch Marvel movies and on my own I watch The Walking Dead. But when we watch together, family friendly entertainment is the rule.   Family Friendly TV – Wind at My Back This Holiday Season why not give a gift set of one of the most family friendly shows that’s ever aired here in Canada? Wind at My…

    Are you looking for some fun family entertainment to kick off your March break? Look no further than Budweiser Gardens and Disney on Ice. Disney on Ice Dare to Dream is on at Budweiser Gardens all weekend. It opened last night. We have had a longstanding tradition here of attending Disney on Ice most years since the kids were small. Many years when they were little we would enter the contests at the local libraries and earn tickets for reading dozens of books and logging them there. But tickets are affordable and you can easily get four tickets for $100 roughly. Plus this show is great family entertainment value in…

    Tomorrowland Film is a Hit for The Whole Family #TMMGG2015

    November 4, 2015 /

    The Tomorrowland film is one of the best movies I’ve seen in quite some time. It’s also one of the last movies I watched at the theatre. That shows you how often I get out! Luckily if you are like me and rarely are able to get to the movie theatre now you can watch Tomorrowland at home. Tomorrowland is one of those movies that exudes everything that’s great about a family film. With a ton of action, adventure, and heart, the Tomorrowland film has something for everyone, from kids to adults.
