Freelance Writer, Mom Blogger – Kingston, Ontario
Winter seems to last forever. By March, cabin fever has often set in, at least in my household. For those lucky enough to live in Kingston, Ontario, the City of Kingston greenhouse opens its doors to the public. Visiting the greenhouse is a burst of spring during the doldrums of winter. Colours and scents abound, […]
This beautiful painting was done by my artistic friend Keltie Morrow. While technically she’s not a “working mom” the way it’s categorized today, she has recently begun profiting (somewhat) from her passion – art!

When I chose to call one “acting/modelling” I was pretty sure it would be used to follow Emma, my eldest daughter, in her trials […]

On June 18th Kingston School Of Dance is having their Annual Performance at the Grand Theatre. Tickets are already on sale – I hear the afternoon performance is already half sold! […]
Mother’s Day weekend is often a busy time, and this year is no exception. Kingston is always bustling with things going on, especially in the warmer season. I am sincerely hoping the warmer season is upon us – we’ve had a lot of cool days recently! May is about when I start getting antsy to get […]
I’m not one to be fashionable or on the cutting edge of styles or anything like that. Most of the time I don’t even know what I want when it comes to clothes or hair styles. My life is comfort first, and then if it looks good, that’s a bonus. I would say that it […]
