I recently had a speaking engagement at a club I co-organize called Home Essentials. Home Essentials meets every month or two for great conversation, recipes and homemaking ideas for women to better enjoy their family. I know “homemaking” might sound cheesy, but it’s really nice to have a group to…

It was a late winter night as we approached the country house. The boys were sound asleep in the car as we began to empty bags and bring them inside. We tried to keep quiet as we brought in the groceries, the luggage and all their special treasures, stepping in…

A few years ago, when the world famous Harlem Globetrotters came to town, I was invited to interview THE Buckets Blakes. What a thrill that was! I felt like a kid again, meeting this amazingly talented sportsman and seeing him light up a gymnasium of children as he showed them…

Recently, Quebec company Omaiki created their HOM Signé line. The complete line of products is a beautiful effort to help us as a society reuse items instead of disposing of waste on a daily basis. Omaiki sent me over the line and I decided to make a project out of…

Over the holidays, we had friends in and out of our family country home and it was awesome. But the most epic night had to be New Year’s Eve. At about 5pm, we all got out of our cozy cottage outfits and dressed the heck up! Earlier in the day,…

I always bought Weleda for my babies and gifted Weleda products to new mamas. But imagine my utter shock to find out their full lines of…

I had a little reflection just before Christmas. It stemmed from the segment I had on BTMontreal about meaningful gifts for the holidays (with 5k views and counting, it seems to be something people were very interested in!). Now that our gifts have been opened, and we have eaten our…

This morning, I had the pleasure of sitting down on the Breakfast Television couch with Derick Fage to chat about feel-good gift giving. I’m all for gift giving and making my kids feel extra special on Christmas morning, but I can admit, and so can they, that we have way…

Writing on other sites gives me a little more freedom to discuss things I perhaps wouldn’t on my own blog. When I started my writing profession years back, I always wrote for other brands and companies needing a creative touch to explain their technical details. And while there were times…
