I’ve made reference before to the fact that I have iChildren who are used to playing on my iPhone and iPad but haven’t actually ever delved into the world of video games and their ilk. I also have a husband who’s been hankering for some kind of gaming system for awhile now but as we [...]

My son, the giant toddler M, is two and is just slowly embracing the concept of Christmas, Santa and all the pomp and circumstance. I couldn’t be more excited.

As they headed off into the night for a father/daughter date to the opening night of Carousel Theatre’s newest (and one of their biggest) production – The Wizard of Oz – my eight-year-old pondered how they’d do the cyclone.

I have another confession to make. Historically, I have never been a big fan of sparkling wine. To much fizz for not enough flavour. I’ve since realized it was because I really don’t like champagne and I have painted all sparkling wines with the champagne brush…but there are so many beautiful sparkling wines out there! Recently I [...]
