If you’re looking for a beautiful way to spend some quality time with your mom or motherly figure in your life this Spring, the Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL) region would make a fabulous choice. Thanks to our friends at Wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake, I enjoyed the most wonderful experience with my own mom last year, so here are some suggestions for a great way to spend your
Having just hit a milestone birthday, I’m so open and ready for this new season of life and love the growth and self-realization of this stage, knowing growing older is a gift. What I’m not so enthusiastic about? Noticeable changes to my skin (apparently 11 years of sleep deprivation isn’t so good for the dermis;), and since I’ve been asked a lot lately what advice
Happy Spring, all! For those that have followed the blog a while, you’ll know this is my most favourite season…but I have a Spring-fession: I totally though Spring started tomorrow! I guess that’s what happens with the Mom RAM is overloaded and I have too many projects on the go…like our Office re-do we’ve been SLOWLY putting together and closet warbrobe overhaul. We’ve got
March 8th is International Women’s Day, and this year’s campaign encourages us to #BalanceForBetter, and think about how to forge a more gender-balanced world. Two years ago, I wrote a modified version of the following essay, and I choose to re-share each year around IWD – a compilation of my hopes as a woman raising both genders and a recommitment to how our family

After a few weeks of indulging to the max (it was the holidays…we celebrated, and that entails ZERO guilt or punishment), it felt good to get back to healthy eating this weekend. And since you know how much I love sharing cooking hacks, I will declare my new-found love of sheet-pan cooking! After weeks of drooling over recipes in the LCBO Food & Drink
Soulpepper Theatre Company celebrates the joy of the holiday season with its fifth annual Family Festival, starting in December. The big boys, Nana & I had such a wonderful time attending A Christmas Carol at the Festival last year and look forward to returning in a few weeks time to see Peter Pan. Located in its multi-venue home the Young Centre for the Performing Arts in
Today we’re kicking off the first of our “HOK Favourite Things” Holiday Giveaways! It’s not a coincidence I’m starting with a fabulous prize package to Ste. Anne’s Spa – one of my absolute favourite experiences of 2018. With the holiday tension building & after all the Black Friday shopping madness, a gift of pampering, relaxation and recharge is just what we could all use, right?!
