The chill is in the air, the fire is on most nights and Halloween is around the corner. The fall shows may be back on the small screen and my PVR might be full, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to rewatch some of my favourite movies, get caught up on episodes of […] Read more…
Jayden had been counting down to his birthday for months. Over the summer, we had looked online and visited some local outdoor skateparks and hit Joyride (it’s $17 after 7pm) to practice for the big day! Jayden recently had his 9th birthday party at Joyride 150 Bike Park in Markham with 12 of his best buddies. “Best […] Read more…
The kids are back to school and it blows my mind to think of how fast the summer has come and gone! Reflecting on the last two months, I have to say that it’s been full of fun and family time, for sure. We’ve had some adventures, lots of family fun, new camp activities, lake relaxation and […] Read more…
We are a family that LOVES music. In fact, Paul and the boys just recorded their own song for me and made a CD so I can listen in the car to their lyrics and incredible rapping skills! When Jayden was younger, we would set up our living room like a concert hall. We would love watching him dress […] Read more…
We have a strong connection to heaven, having lost our son Zack at the age of 3, due to complications from pneumonia and his underlying heart condition.

I truly can’t believe that I’m going to see Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo LIVE in Toronto this June! This is literally the best news and just what I needed! Now I’ve seen her show “Long Island Medium” a handful of times, but that isn’t the true reason why I want to see her. I […] Read more…
When Paul and I started dating in 1995, it was the inaugural season for the Toronto Raptors. We both worked downtown and would walk through the underground to the SkyDome (now called Rogers Centre). It was back in the day when Jordan, Rodman and Pippin came to town with the rest of the Chicago Bulls and […] Read more…
I’m a proud hockey mom and I’ve enjoyed my time in the rink MOST of the time, but some parts of hockey really drive me crazy! There’s the cost, the politics and of course the schedule, but one of the worst parts for me is the change room struggle to get 8 year-old Jayden dressed and undressed for […] Read more…
