    Easy Fun Eco-Printing Craft for Youth and Up

    May 11, 2020 / No Comments

    Here’s a craft that you have probably never done before. Eco-printing is a fun way to make pretty cards and writing paper. The materials involved are simple and can mostly be found in and around your neighbourhood. My oldest daughter Payton did this one and came up with the idea then helped document the steps here. Fun Craft With Natural Materials This Eco-printing activity could be a great craft to do with older kids because it gets them off their screens and outside for a bit. Basically, you just need to go for a walk around the neighbourhood to gather leaves, petals and buds. The more colourful the better. Don’t…

    Make a Statement with Teleflora’s Valentine’s Day Bouquets

    February 6, 2019 / 9 Comments

    Is there any flower prettier than a red rose? Well, maybe lilies with red roses and carnations. Yeah that’s a Valentine’s Trifecta of gorgeous blooms right there. Valentine’s Day bouquets are a great way to let that special someone in your life know just how special they really are. Most years, my husband gets me a lovely bouquet. Occasionally I receive jewelry too. I am, as well all know by now, someone who LOVES flowers and jewelry. You simply can’t go wrong with either. To be completely transparent he often buys a lemon merengue pie too, because that is our favourite. I love them so much because it shows that my…

    Holiday Flowers with Teleflora Make the Season Brighter

    December 23, 2018 / No Comments

    Holiday flowers make the season so much brighter. I love to add flowers to my home at any time of year, but when the holidays roll around, flowers are essential. There’s something about that pop of colour that chases away the winter blues. If I had my way and unlimited budget I’d have poinsettias and lilies and pine all over the house. The pretty blooms and foliage are a treat during the winter months. This is also why I love Teleflora Table campaign. I know how much holiday flowers brighten my holiday season, and Teleflora can help you brighten the holidays too. Holiday Flowers from Teleflora The Teleflora Table campaign is all about…

    Love Out Loud with Teleflora for the Holidays

    December 8, 2017 /

    Love out loud. Christmas is a wonderful time to celebrate all your loves. Around Thanksgiving we start reflecting in earnest on the year that has gone by and the spirit of gratitude and thankfulness is high. It would be lovely if that was the case all year round but sometimes we need reminders of what we are grateful for. That’s sort of what Teleflora’s #LoveOutLoud campaign is about. Gratitude, thankfulness and love. Love Out Loud is more than the tag line for Teleflora’s #LoveOutLoud campaign. The idea has been around forever, as long as love has existed. Live out Loud and Love Out Loud sort of mean the same thing to me.…

    Gatineau and Outaouais Region Celebrate Canada 150

    September 1, 2017 /

    This year Gatineau in the Outaouais Region of Quebec has some remarkable reasons to visit. MosaiCanada 150 and the brand new Canadian History Hall exhibit in the Museum of Canadian History were the most powerfully charged of all the experiences I had this summer travel season. If you are Canadian, you need to see this. It’s hard not to be moved seeing Canada’s history on display. MosaiCanada 150 and the new exhibit together are powerful narratives about Canada’s story. Gatineau Becomes a Riot of Colour Summer is short in Canada and this year it vanished quickly, with the strange cool and rainy weather we had in much of southern Ontario.…
