Christmas came a bit early for me. To say that I am a bit of a coffee junkie is an understatement. My family all know to not talk to me unless caffeine has been first consumed. However I am the only coffee drinker in the family so finding a coffee maker that works for us […]
2014 GMC Terrain: More Crossover Choices
Right now I wish I was sitting the in 2014 GMC Terrain’s lovely heated seats. I think the car would be warmer than my house! We test drove the SLT-2 model of the compact crossover that doesn’t feel compact at all. For a 5-seater it is very roomy, even with a car seat and we […]
Speaking of ‘Tradition’ – An East Van Panto

It has been a war of attrition. I have loved my little iPhone from day one and it has been my social media BFF for a long time. However the last upgrade to IOS 7. something or other on my 4S has just annoyed me. The love has gone. Thankfully I am lucky enough to […]

Let Hallmark Get You In the Holiday Mood
We used to have a super Hallmark store at our local mini mall. It was my go to place for all the seasonal necessities – cards, wrap and the almost WEEKLY gift emergencies when the kids had failed to inform me about a birthday party. The kids loved their pet cat and the wall of […]
