Pretty Little Liars - Netflix

Pretty Little Liars currently on Netflix is a Teen/Young adult drama and book series. The show first aired in June 2008. I had seen it advertised but at the time I was already watching enough shows.

The show takes place in the quiet town of Rosewood, a town full of secrets, lies and mysteries surrounding 4 teen girls, Hannah, Aria, Spencer and Emily. The story begins when Alison, the queen bee has mysteriously disappeared. The girl’s lives begin … Continue reading →

The Empowered Child vs The Entitled Child

The Empowered child vs the Entitled Child. What kind of child do you want to raise? Leadership skills determine the results. Raising children is not an easy part of life, each day is a new learning experience. As parents, we set the examples and must follow through for the outcome you want in your child’s behaviour. If you have an empowered child, they will be independent, have goals and enthusiasm to enjoy life. Entitles children will be dependent on you for every need and want becoming bossy and unhappy at times. … Continue reading →

No Party Birthday

Birthday’s are a day to celebrate. We have prepared a themed party each year since her 1st birthday. I love to make it special for my daughter, however, I never planned to have a party every year.

This year we decided not to have a birthday party this year. We are still celebrating with cake and presents, but there will be … Continue reading →

Barefoot Sandals

I am not a shoe person, I prefer bare feet. The only time I really wear shoes is when I have to go out. Now  that summer is here, it gives me the perfect opportunity to wear my barefoot sandals. I couldn’t wait to get out to a pool or beach to try them out. I recently started making bracelets with beads I was given as a gift. Years ago I had an anklet, it was similar to the Barefoot sandals but I only had one. So I created my own, … Continue reading →

Dairy Milk

Each day there is some sort of conflict going on in the Food industry, we all have our own opinions and views on dairy milk. I am not trying to change a view but point out the facts and direct people to the right information for Canadian consumers. In April 2016, while attending the BConnected conference, one of the keynote speakers was Amy Matheson, an Ontario Dairy farmer. She spoke about life on a dairy farm and Dairy Farmers of Canada, the Farm-to-table process of dairy milk. Dairy Milk – Farm-to-Table Farm-to-Table … Continue reading →

What to Watch? You have spent the last 7 or 8 months attached to your favourite shows … Continue reading →

Nashville on CMT

Millions of viewers around the world are upset with ABC and sad to see a favourite show like Nashville go to TV heaven. If you are a fan of the Nashville  Series, like I am, then I am sure you have heard that ABC, again has cancelled a well-watched TV series to make room for new shows that will probably be axed before the first season is through. I have been listening to country music since I was a child. It was the music my parents listened too, as well … Continue reading →

Q-107

When I was about 8 years old, I remember listening to the radio on my parent’s hi-fi. (an all one stereo that played record (LP) and 8 tracks.) One day I was bored with the AM stations and decided to see what FM was all about. I moved the dial around until I found music and when the music stopped, I heard the station’s name; Q-107 Toronto’s Rock, and I have been listening ever since. While Q-107 is my most tuned in radio station, I do occasionally like to switch it up a … Continue reading →

Fashion That Fits

In April, I attended an event with Giant Tiger. I was able to check out first hand the new lines of women’s fashion and knew once I visited the store I would be Styled for Summer.

Although I wasn’t always able to find clothes in my size, I did find some sort of deal. I need an entire wardrobe makeover, … Continue reading →
