Chuck loves goats. If you know him, you know this about him. They are like his favourite animals. He follows 100% Goats, because they guarantee 200% goats. And in late summer of 2019, we decided to spend our vacation following a few different kind of GOATs. And it was 1000% worth it. U.S. Open Our … [Read more]
So we’re all watching all-the-things lately as we deal with being cooped up at home during a pandemic. One channel that is a current favourite in our house is Stingray Retro, especially the Please Rewind program. The channel touts itself as “your source to relive the golden age of music videos.” But was it the … [Read more]
Aloha, friends. Usually when I travel, I like to think about how I will put into words what I see and do to give a glimpse at how a place looks or feels. And it’s never hard to come up with a way to describe Maui. I’ve visited four times, and it still seems fresh whenever I … [Read more]
It was the worst of times, Dear God was it the worst of times. 2017 arrived like a bat out of Derry’s kitchen and proceeded to suck the life out of us for an entire 12 months. This year was exhausting, wasn’t it? There were so many tragedies and scandals unfolding on a daily basis that I … [Read more]
I never really thought much about Scotland’s connections to Harry Potter, one of my favourite things, before coming to this part of the world. The minute I touched down, that immediately changed. For the next few days I felt like I was a living, breathing character in one of the movies. Obviously, the most boring … [Read more]
I’ve just poured a cup of tea, Earl Grey of course, and, as I wait for my tiered tray of goodies to arrive, I’m lost in thought at what Edinburgh is like. What should I write about? How does this place make me feel? Since arriving a few days ago, I’ve been searching for my story, but … [Read more]
So, you know, just sitting with the boy watching Jeopardy when a bunch of questions about history come up, as they do. I start riffing off a few answers, but not in the form of a question, because, really? We’re still doing that? The boy leans over and says, “How do you know these answers?” I say something … [Read more]
Because, if it is, you’re in for a treat today. Earlier this week, I was drinking my umpteenth London Fog with my colleague Lindsay at High Tea and I said something like “I seriously have an Earl Grey addiction. I should write about it.” And here we are. I’ve been a fan of the Earl since … [Read more]
Look, I’m going to finally admit it, I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to fashion. Home decor, yes, I get it, I have a sense of what I’m accomplishing, plus being artistic and creative are kinda my thing. But clothes, accessories, trying to put an outfit together that doesn’t scream, “I’M UNAWARE OF … [Read more]
As the ridiculously cheesy house signs say…home is where the heart is. And 16 years ago this month, I took possession of a teeny-tiny bungalow in one of Winnipeg’s most notorious neighbourhoods and it’s had a grasp on my heart ever since. When I first bought this little gem, it had a beige living room (lamé!), … [Read more]
Let’s face it, 2016 is a bit of a dud. A few of our biggest icons passed away (RIP Bowie, Prince, Snape), the climate keeps showing us who’s boss and looks pretty much fine with getting rid of us humans all-together. Then we finished it off watching one of the nastiest political campaigns ever, which, even after the … [Read more]
This might be the point where content marketing goes into full “jump the shark” mode. I mean, I’ve seen about 40 content marketing think pieces comparing it to everything under the sun — and that’s in just one week! So, how do you add your two cents without it A) disappearing in the crush, or B) being super … [Read more]
Oh, hello there. View post on imgur.com Game of Thrones is back and I’m pumped. So, apparently this happened at the Leaf’s game The show’s so good, it’s like worth two chickens…maybe more! Here’s to another slapping Bitch King Joffrey good time of a season. Deal with it, Joffrey. http://gifatron.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/hodor-with-it-game-of-thrones.gif Because, when you play a … [Read more]
Usually, we Winnipegger’s say this every year with the same foreboding manner as Ned Stark does. But this year winter never arrived. We’ve had very little snow or extreme cold. An odd winter for sure.
Last year, I made a simple New Year’s resolution to start painting again. After procrastinating for more than eight months, I finally got down to it. It felt good. Like, really good. It became a bright spot to come home to after some frustrating days at work. It was in junior high when my art … [Read more]
