That SWAT Hallowe’en Costume Looks Bad-ass, But What’s Missing Is a Skirt.

As part of the Get Spooky series, I had every intention of scouring the interwebs for the best costumes I could find for both kids and adults. I quickly realized though, all kids costumes are absolutely adorable. A kid could walk up in a garbage can, and I’ll probably squeal all over it and say, “Oooh, what an […]

A True Ghost Story: The Second Last Stop

Title image for my ghost story "The Second Last Stop", featuring a blurred man in a cowboy hat, walking away down a bleak road, with nothing else in sight.

As I mentioned in the first installment of the Get Spooky series, I have a couple personal ghost stories to share. These events are truly dear to me.

Toronto-Centric App Review: Order a Meal With Ritual

In theory, you […]

My time to have a baby, you say? Just don’t.

At 35 years of age, I’m well acquainted with that ticking clock. It’s loud and obnoxious, and it makes me do complicated math to figure out if I’d still have the energy to catch a toddler that would undoubtedly run circles around me. This past weekend, while carrying around my baby nephew, whom I adore dearly, […]
