I think it is safe to say that I am a clean freak. Everything in my house has its place. My nephews know that when they come to my house cupcakes do not have icing because that is a mess waiting to happen. Actually, who am I kidding, they don’t even get cupcakes because the messy fingers, faces and furniture [...]
So…let’s talk. May 6 kicks off the start of National Mental Health Week in Canada – following up on February’s Let’s Talk campaign, we’re dragging that issue right out of its dark corner where we can all deal with it.

We had just spent the morning falling in love with these 25 orphaned children at the Karibu Centre in Thika, Kenya and were excited by the fact that we were asked to help out so that the house [...]
Far from the standard generic painting on the wall hotel room, the decor at White Oaks Resort & Spa has fostered a collection of unique works of art throughout its environs. From statues sculpted by local artisans to glass ceiling installations, curious ecclectic pieces can be found around every corner. See if you recognize any of these…
Live different. That’s what I have been inspired to do after travelling over 1200 kilometers to experience two weeks in the poorest parts of Kenya. Although my trip is over, I have now found my inspiration and my journey has just begun. I, like many others, have always been thankful for the life that I have here in Canada, loving [...]

Not everyone wants an understated affair. Some couples want to layer glitz on glamour, add in a dash of opulence… and for good measure a generous sprinkling of absolute luxury to top it off. If that is your style, then that is what you shall get when your lavish reception is held in the aptly named Imperial Ballroom. The palette [...]

Winter (and it’s frigid temperature) brings with it many traditions. Some, like shovelling hills of snow from the driveway are not quite cherished, while others like the age-old body warming combination of a tasty soup and sandwich, deliver more soothing memories. There is nothing quite like a hearty comfort meal on a cold day, to toast you up both inside [...]
