Luckily, these simple tips can help you safeguard your office against those nasty flu bugs waiting...

What do a spa, a gorgeous room, beautiful scenery, fantastic food, great conversation and a plan to grow my business have in common? They're all crucial components of the Mom Biz Retreat. I was lucky enough to attend the retreat this past September - I know, it's been a few months, but hey, the retreat went SO WELL that I have been working my tail off since...

When I was asked if I wanted to write about my school memories, I resoundingly said yes. I have very fond (and a lot of not-so-fond) memories of school and really thought it would be easy to talk about them. I was wrong. I started school in JK and stayed in the same school until I graduated grade 8 - I made some lifelong friends and also...

Did my title catch your attention? Good! It was supposed to :) I was recently invited to join the Chicken Farmers "No Naked Chicken" movement, to which I happily replied YES! My family practically lives on chicken so it was an easy task for me to oblige to! My task was to write about a recipe that we like using sauces, rubs, spices or anything that would...

It's one of those events that you always think "That will never happen to me". I've been driving since I was 17. I have never even had a speeding ticket (parking tickets don't count) and I always considered myself a safe driver.

Until I got a Facebook message from my friend Jim. I messaged Jim and was inquiring about a local television show that had (unbeknownst to me) been discontinued. I...

Tim and I host an annual Christmas open house and invite some of our friends over for drinks and nibbles. Every year, one of our couple friends, Lisa and Joe bring over a deeelish concoction that is "Irish Cream" and I devour it (pretty much as they come in the door). I was craving some the other day and gave Lisa a call and...

"Do Your Ears Hang Low? Do They Wobble to and Fro? Can You Tie Them in a Knot? Can You Tie Them in a Bow? Can You Throw Them Over Your Shoulder Like a Continental Soldier?" I always thought that song was a tad bit wacky, but apparently it was the start of a life-long love (and current addiction) to my earring collection. I have always been of the ...

Bash your head on the wall a few times and move on.. Ha! Just kidding (Well, no, not really..) ----- Over the years I have been fortunate enough to meet a variety of people and be involved in a whole slew of varying projects. My employment status has gone from full time to part time to self-employed to part time back to self-employed (a few times!) I have...

When Tim and I had the pleasure of operating FreshPow!, we had a section on the website called FreshPals! Whereby we interviewed athletes in the extreme sporting industry. One of the athletes who we had the pleasure to interview was Sarah Burke - Freestyle Skier, Canadian and an amazing inspiration to the extreme sporting world. As reported earlier today, Sarah Burke has tragically passed away due...
