I receive a small commission when someone purchases via one of these links. Grammar and spelling are quite simply two of my favourite things. Words are my currency and my happy place.

Parts of speech and words are the building blocks of communication, no matter what age you are and what occupation you have. Understanding…

    Nine Things You Need in Your Winter Emergency Kit Now

    January 25, 2019 /

    Do you have a winter emergency kit? Have you considered what would happen if you got stranded in a snowstorm or other wintery weather disaster? Here’s hoping you never are in that situation, but what if you were? Weather related weirdness is the rule rather than the exception in so many areas of the world right now. So, it makes sense to be prepared for anything that comes your way. It’s common sense when traveling during the harsh winter months, whether it be just across town or several miles or hundred miles away to always keep an Emergency Kit in your vehicle. There are dozens of ways to encounter problems and…

    Buying Snow Tires – What You Need to Know

    January 15, 2018 /

    Buying snow tires is something I have debated and put off for a couple of winter seasons now. Last year I got new all-season tires in the spring and assumed they’d get me through the winter. It wasn’t a super snowy year, but there were a few challenging winter road trips, especially on our annual trip to Vermont. This year with all the snow in the forecast, and the number of ski road trips we take, I knew I needed them so I started shopping months ago. I had so many questions initially. Are they worth the money? What kind should I buy? Which snow tires are best with my…

    This post is sponsored by Bayer. To make sure these products are right for you, always read and follow the label. Well, cold and flu season is here. Every year, it’s the same story. Despite our best efforts, most of us will be forced to admit defeat and retreat to our sofas with a healthy supply of tissues and hot liquids. Trust me I am more than familiar with this. My youngest daughter started in with coughing almost immediately when she returned to school. She battled bronchitis for weeks, and a cold as well. Naturally we all ended up with this nasty bug. This season the cough is the thing…
