For the Musically Buff Sports Fan: From Brooklyn to Toronto
If you’re a Toronto Raptors fan, you may be familiar with sportscasters Jack Armstrong and Eric Smith. What you may not know is that they’re also infamous Christmas carolers that made a CD back in 2010 titled “From Brooklyn to Toronto – Jack Armstrong and Eric Smith Sing the Holiday Classics”. This album […]
Choosing The Right Tablet for Your Kids This Holiday Season
There are so many tablets out there, it can be a bit daunting at first look to find a kid-friendly tablet that won’t become a paperweight after a while. Tablets are quickly becoming inexpensive investments that can help any child learn and play, once the main hurdle has been jumped. Finding the right fit in a tablet can be […]
Why I’m Such a Huge Fan of Comics
If it hasn’t become readily apparently recently, I love to read comics. Despite popular belief, it’s actually not something to grow out of (there are rating systems, much like what movies use, and there are many comics out there that aren’t suitable for kids at all.) There have been quite a few issues recently that […]
How To Train Your Dragon 2 now on Blu-Ray (review)
If my nephew was going to write this review, all it would consist of him saying is, “Can we watch the dragons again?!” In fact, that’s exactly what he said on multiple occasions this past weekend. We wound up watching How to Train Your Dragon 2 three times within 48 hours. We then watched the […]
In a Gifting Rut This Year? GIFTS MADE EASY with Shoppers Drug Mart
Wow, I can’t believe its already that time of year again! Time to prep the home for Christmas décor, which means figuring out where we’re going to display our tree this year, and plan out the ever-entertaining furniture shuffle. While rearranging our basement for the umpteenth time this season, I’m comforted in knowing that I […]
I #DareYou To Give Canada
There’s this idea that we’re all a big fan of monkey-see-monkey-do. It’s why group moments of kindness works, like spontaneous bouts of pay-it-forward generosity, as what happened at an American Starbucks a few years ago, or 24 hour gaming marathons that support the Children’s Miracle Network. Luckily, there’s this drive to help each other out, […]
shomi Beta Launched!
Confession time! I am a TV junkie… though that’s becoming quite the misnomer, as I’m more liable to watch “TV” on my computer, tablet or even my smartphone these days, instead of an actual TV screen (though I won’t ever give up my baby in our entertainment room!) And is the “junkie” bit such a […]
Target Canada is Bringing The Plus to Clothing Sizes Next Year
Over a year and a half ago Target began opening doors in Canada, something which was wildly anticipated across the country well before the “Zellers” signs had any chance of cooling off. Canadians have loved Target for years, despite the fact that it was a US-only company only until very recently. Excitement bubbled in all […]
The Wisdom of Spider-Man that Everyone Should Read
Happy Hallowe’en! Our house had all of 13 kids show up (and we bought a 90 piece box of Mars candy, so guess whose loaded up on sugar now, baby!) Two of the door-knockers were dressed as Iron Man, and my nephew KitKat was dressed as Spider Man, so yay, go Marvel! Not a single […]
