    Time to Stop Smoking in Movies Now

    September 12, 2018 /

    I have partnered with YMC and Region of Peel and have received compensation for this post. All opinions are my own.  Smoking in movies has been irksome to me for years. It’s so very unnecessary and irresponsible. I am a drama Mom. Both of my girls act and have for years with a local youth theatre troupe. It’s an amazing emotional outlet and youth development program. So I know all about character and plot devices and that smoking has traditionally been used as a character tool, but here’s the thing. It doesn’t have to be. I’ve seen many of the plays my kids act in altered ever so slightly to…

    Seeing Ulysses at The Abbey Theatre Dublin

    October 20, 2017 /

    Go on, admit it you never finished James Joyce’s self indulgent and best known novel Ulysses. Neither did I. I made it to maybe page 300 before deciding life was way too short to finish reading. So, I was curious when I heard Ulysses was on stage at the Abbey Theatre recently in Dublin. I had the chance to see it when we visited Dublin on a press trip this month. On a rainy last evening in Dublin we had dinner at The Church Cafe and Bar, a repurposed church, where the founder of the Guinness Brewery was once married. The building itself is pretty spectacular and it makes a…

    Dora The Explorer Live Show in London April 13th

    April 6, 2015 /

    Dora The Explorer Live Show in London DududududududDDDDDDORA!! Even now with a teenager and a tween, I still hear that catchy Dora tune! Hard to resist. What did I love about Dora, as a parent? Well, Dora was a cute, smart and curious little girl. I am a parent of girls and I nurture curiosity. So I loved that. Dora was a polite character without all that snark or sarcasm that is sometimes on television. She is wholesome. I know that’s a strange, and maybe inadequate, word for what I am describing, but Dora was, and still is, a child I would invite over to my home. I had no…

    Shrek The Musical #WordlessWednesday

    December 3, 2014 /

    This past week we went to see Shrek The Musical at The Grand Theatre in London, Ontario. The Grand is a local asset to the arts scene and it is often very family friendly. Both of our girls enjoy the theatre and always have because we have always taken them to see age appropriate plays. My older daughter has of course also done the local youth theatre group in our town too. The girls have a deep appreciation and admiration and respect for theatre and the arts. In fact, they enjoy theatre as much, or maybe even more, than I do. We are super lucky in this area of Ontario to…
