There is WiFi and Then There is xFi (Sponsored)
My days are full of little crises that need to be addressed. From ‘unfair’ homework assignments to missing shin guards and dead pointe shoes to no more Romaine for lunchbox Caesar salad. The greatest, most dramatic, most annoying crisis of all in our life of little first world problems though is when there is a…
Appy Hour: Taking Steps Forward with Xfinity and More
(Sponsored by Xfinity) –This weekend, we dropped a cell phone in the snow. My daughter and I trekked back out and retraced our steps. The snow blowing everywhere made it hard to see and I didn’t have much hope of finding anything. After searching a while, we gave up and came back in. A while…
From Eaton’s to Macy’s
https://www.nfb.ca/film/sweater/embed/player/ The Sweater, Sheldon Cohen, National Film Board of Canada My Macy’s growing up was Eaton’s. The iconic stripes of an Eaton’s gift box always held something special inside. My bubbe used to work at the confection counter at Eaton’s in Winnipeg and would always bring a box of chocolate rosettes as a treat when she…
Game Changer: Netflix on Xfinity
We all have our favourite blankets to snuggle under and choice corners of the couch to curl up into. The den is always scattered with blankets and pillows. If I’m lucky, the remotes are back in the remote tin where the next person can find it. We also all have our favourite ways to watch. Dan…

Assembling in Somerville: A Destination for All
Somerville is my neighbour and parts of Somerville are very close by. Davis Square is just on the other side of Massachusetts Avenue and yet other parts seem a world away. It wasn’t until Assembly Row opened, that I realised how quickly you can get there from here. In fact, for my most recent visit,…
Rise & Shine: Wayfair Mornings
I may have mentioned that I write for Wayfair.com or perhaps you’ve read some sponsored posts recently. I used to be a strict in store only shopper when it came to furniture and I had my favourite stores. Over the years, the quality I counted on and the customer service I expected changed. Having visited Wayfair for some…
5 Local Hostess Gifts: Drink Local
When I refer to “hostess” I use the broad definition. What I mean by that is if you are attending a party you bring a hostess gift, and if you are hosting a party you deserve to treat yourself. We’ve all joined our summer and fall CSAs and some brave souls have also signed up…
Gift Guide: Shopping Local
If you’re sitting by your computer shopping online, there may be someone bringing you a cocktail, and good cheer, but I bet it’s much easier to find by bundling up and skipping out your door to head to some of the local craft fairs, holiday strolls and some of my favorite little boutiques. We use Amazon.com…
