Living Creatively, Living the Dream
There’s only THREE WEEKS left ’til Christmas…which simply means, HOW AM I GOING TO FIT THAT IN WITH EVERYTHING ELSE? THIS WEEK AT CURTAINS ARE OPEN: As far as blogging goes…things were a little bit quieter than normal. A few Continue reading Sunday Wrap-Up #5…
It’s not until I’m sitting here on Sundays, summing my whole week up in a post, that I realize how fast time flies from one week into the next…some weeks a little busier than other and some, never quite reaching Continue reading Sunday Wrap-up #4…
Ever have one of those weeks where you’re not really sure where time went or what exactly you did? THIS WEEK AT CURTAINS ARE OPEN: Things started with the return of the 2015 KIA Sedona I’d been booting around in Continue reading Sunday Wrap-up #3…
The last few days, as I’ve told my friends about the #ECMChat, they’ve been incredibly supportive…as always…but the same thing has been mentioned SEVERAL times… “Teach me how to tweet and I’ll totally come to the party!” I guess, for Continue reading How to tweet…
Another week has come and gone which means we’re that much closer to the holidays and all of the joy it brings…for me, it’s one week closer to when The Tall Blonde will be home from France for her Winter Continue reading Sunday Wrap-up #2…
I thought I’d start a weekly wrap-up to fill you in on how my week goes. And…as I’m making changes to my site, I may as well start with today. I had a chat with Julie Nowell at Three Chickens Continue reading Sunday Wrap-up #1…
When I was young, I was REALLY good at hula-hooping. I’d start at my neck, turning the hoop with one hand while flicking my head back and forth like a chicken. Eventually, I’d strategically put one arm in the hole Continue reading Best of Halifax…
What happens when you take 63 students and challenge them to scare away hunger? You get a whole lot of happy kids making a difference as they filled not one but THREE trucks in support of the Free The Children Continue reading We Scare Hunger…
If you recall, last year I had the amazing opportunity to head to WeDay with my youngest, Bones. We were overwhelmed by the energy in the room as thousands of students chanted and cheered for change. WeDay is all about Continue reading We365…

Maybe it was my ego…my search for success…a desire to introduce my blog to a bigger audience. Whatever it was, I needed to stand out at the annual Blissdom Conference! I didn’t wear 8 different t-shirts with ridiculous sayings because Continue reading Been there, blogged that…got the t-shirt…
I did this blogging thing wrong. It happens with most things I attempt…I go out there full-tilt with little research and a crap-ton of passion (that’s like crap x 2,240 pounds worth of passion!) I was told I should write…not just Continue reading Blissdom Canada…here I come!
There’s something about having to purchase yet another French/English dictionary…having to buy yet another math set and the umpteen three-ring binders that seem to fall apart year after year…that sends me a little over the edge. I remember a red Continue reading School supplies…Me to We…
It started with this tweet from hope cottage. And…like all things I find thought-provoking and interesting on Twitter…I hit the Re-Tweet button. I was having a fairly busy day in the office and while the Tweet caught my interest, making Continue reading My Big Day Downtown – how I doubled my money and gave it all back.
Sometimes, I feel like an absolute fraud! Time and again, I hear women telling me that I “inspire” them. Believe me, I’ve contemplated this skeptically more times than you can possibly imagine…I mean, I know I made it through this Continue reading Faking it…
At some point, I came to the realization that we just need to be kind to one another. To appreciate what we have and let others in our lives know that we appreciate them too. I’ve been blessed with the Continue reading Telus Grand Gestures #ActsOfCaring
One of the things I love about being a blogger is that every now and then, I’m asked to try out a product and give my opinions. Often, I turn down the experience, but this time…it involved SCALLOPS…and BACON! Chef Continue reading Fog Buster Scallop Bacon Burger – Chef Craig Flinn
I received this “blogger questionnaire” and thought I’d play along! To be honest, I don’t normally answer these types of chain mail bloggy things…but…it had a few questions that people don’t normally ask so I thought I’d go for it. Continue reading Couple of questions on being creative…
The strangest thing just happened. I’m sitting here…contemplating my life…the fact that my house hasn’t sold yet, the company is growing slower than I’d anticipated, I’m not in a relationship, the book hasn’t hit the best seller list, my blog Continue reading The universe…
Well…thanks to Air Canada Vacations and their little advertisement on my blog that runs the daily specials…The Tall Blonde and I found ourselves on board an Air Canada Rouge flight…on our way to Cuba! Here’s how it went. Day one… Continue reading Seven days in Cuba…
