As much as I decry the problems with Vancouver, this city is certainly in its glory when the sun is shining. One of the best places to see that is from Spanish Banks. We headed down there on Thursday after the girls had volunteered at the UBC Child Development Program, helping the students with their […]

Kaboom! You Have A Playground!
I have to admit that when I first saw the news about Kaboom helping us get a new playground for our community school and that volunteers were required to build it, I was skeptical. Despite all my years seeing the magic of community building through social media, I had serious doubts that my own neighbourhood […]
Family Means Worry and Protect – At All Costs
As some of you know, hubs has a long running movie site called Corona’s Coming Attractions. Due to that, he does get advance viewing passes for some of the movies that are hitting town. Being that many are action films, Adam has been tagging along with him. Last week, during game 5 of the NHL […]
A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
I can’t get that song out of my head. Let me stop for a minute and say that a vacation with MY kids isn’t really a vacation….not that they are miserable or awful, I love them dearly. But they are exhausting. Tara especially. But gosh darn it, Disney Cruise Lines work really really hard at […]

Being that EMN is mostly women in business or work at home mom’s…she focused on simple way to ‘business up’ your closet with some […]
Birth Fest – A Community Event For Parenthood
I discovered Birth Fest when I was pregnant with Tara. The Midwives that I was using were attending as vendors at the event as were many other local shops and services for moms and moms to be in and around the Commercial Drive area. I poured my heart out to a Doula there and came away with an adorable […]
We Day for Me!
Best moment of We Day was when I was asked which media outlet I was representing at the registration desk. “Crunchy Carpets” I declared proudly!! 🙂 And I was in….upstairs to the media lounge and PRIMO viewing area looking down at the 18000 amazingly excited and enthusiastic school kids…who stayed excited and enthusiastic from […]
