The first time we brought the boys to see the CP Holiday Train roll into our local train station was when they were just little. Their eyes lit up when they saw the train full of lights and heard the whistle blowing. The very Canadian experience has been going on…

This will be the second Mother’s Day without my Mama. It is so hard to believe that I cannot just pick up the phone and give her a call. I miss her all the time. In all my good moments and my difficult moments, I think of her and all…

I remember when I was little, my mother would take me to the hair salon for a special moment with her. She would be so patient and understanding as I almost always would walk out of the hair salon, after she spent good money for my new haircut, only to…

Today is the first of two days where Montreal hosts We Day at the Theatre St Denis. The event is like no other I have been to, and if you talk to anyone that has been, they say the same thing. Part concert, part motivational speakers, the full day experience…

If your work allowed you to actually give children a better chance of living, would you do it? It’s a no-brainer, right? Well imagine my joy when I was offered such a situation for today, #UNICEFDay. In writing this post, UNICEF’s partner, Hallmark Canada, will donate 10 vaccines to children…
