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…

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,…

Well this was unexpected. All the feelings right now, with tears in my eyes. I’ve been on a roller-coaster lately. But the reason will truly shock you. In every sense of these words – it was time. A heavenly gift for my 40th birthday was to have a little time…

I’ve been a little quiet on the blog and on social lately. I’m doing a major decluttering of my home. While that doesn’t seem like a good reason to not be working over here, I can tell you it is. I am still in charge of three little people and…

Today I spent most of my day volunteering at my boys’ elementary school in the library. I’ve been volunteering for years and I’m happy to do so. But I can tell you that today was a record high temperature for September and the school is not equipped with a/c. It…

I have been waiting to get a haircut until the weather changes because every summer, my hair gets somewhat damaged from the sun, the chlorine in the pool and anything else summer brings. But I must admit, this summer my hair has kept its shine and softness, thanks to a…
