In two weeks I’ll be attending the N9NE Gala for The Canadian Breast Cancer Support Fund, you should join me. The Canadian Breast Cancer Support Fund is a charity that helps breast cancer patients deal with the financial implications of their diagnosis; the physical strain of the disease is terrible enough but even in Canada were we have universal healthcare the financial…

Friend of a Friend Matchmaking
Before I met Boyfriend I tried the online dating thing, only for a bit, and I never found anyone that was worth keeping around, ever. This isn’t to say that online dating doesn’t work because I actually know a lovely couple that met on e-harmony who just celebrated their 1 year anniversary AS A MARRIED COUPLE; so online dating can…
Need a Little Long Weekend Action?
Remember when boyfriend and I disappeared to Viamede? Remember the food? I practically wrote sonnets about the food. With the long weekend upon us I started tweeting with the lovely folks at Viamede only to discover that they have some serious specials going on for the long weekend. The spa is back up and running, which I know Boyfriend and…
The Dating Contract
This is a repost from my Women’s Post column, published every Thursday at Women’s Post online, but a friend was looking for this particular piece and since I wrote it over a year ago it’s really hard to find so enjoy a little crazy on this warm Thursday afternoon. Dating is hard, especially around Valentine’s Day when single sounds like…
Dear Mum…
Dear Mum, I won’t be home on Mother’s Day this year, I won’t even be in the country because I’ll be flying off to a new opportunity an opportunity that wouldn’t ever have been possible without your unwavering faith and support. I want to thank you, no I mean really thank you, from the time I was born you’ve told…

Ellen made them mega famous after YouTube made them super famous.…
VERSAY Wine Launch
On Monday the lovely Anne and I headed to Rock Lobster Food Co. for the VERSAY Wine on tap launch party. It was pretty incredible besides the excellent food and company… I had no idea wine on tap could actually taste good. There were 8 wines available to taste but I have to say, as a red gal, the Washington blend…
Sex & Politics
If you’re a friend of mine, you follow me on twitter or you read this blog you probably know that I’m a fairly liberal gal; I dislike Rob Ford and his politics, I have a political crush on Justin Trudeau and I’m incredibly pro-choice. Earlier this afternoon I tweeted, what I thought, was a mildly amusing comment about Rob Ford…
Weekend at Viamede
We finally got our, much needed, weekend away! On Friday we left Toronto in what Boyfriend had affectionately deemed, ‘The Batmobile,’ because the car was a black Mazda 3 and all black cars should be referred to as The Batmobile, naturally. When we finally arrived at 9 o’clock on Friday night we were starving and fortunately for us Viamede’s BoatHouse…
#CanadianClub National Meeting
Have you met the Chairman yet? You may know him by his fine glass of Canadian Club Whiskey or you may know him by his oh-so-manly mustache OR you may know him by his ability to turn trees into canoes for twelve – whichever legend you’ve heard that made you fall in love with him it’s definitely full of truthiness. On…
