I grew up in a very small town in rural Ontario before moving to the West Coast where I now reside in the most beautiful city in Canada, Victoria, B.C. Since a very young age I... (read more)

Today, as I was perusing the newly opened Cat and Fiddle store in Victoria - I noticed a staffer unpacking something particularly interesting — Stainless Steel Bottles.  One look at the sleek, polished designs and  I was intrigued - I had never seen them before and was unaware they existed.  I immediately purchased 3 and was thrilled when she informed me they will [...]

So there I was…standing in the supermarket line-up, avoiding all eyes, frantically waving a toy with one hand to my screaming baby all the while putting groceries onto the checkout.

My Christmas tree has been packed away, the holiday décor is back in storage  and the treats that added all that extra poundage have been purged from our home.  It’s a new decade, and another year.  I welcome the fresh start to  creating an unforgettable 2010!

Toys have never cluttered our living space – and I vowed that they never would.  However, with my little gal hinging on 14 months it would appear that we are beginning to accumulate toys.  We (Chris and I) have come to an agreement to try to buy a minimal amount of good quality toys as opposed to loads of [...]
