So I was doing my weekly catch-up entry reading on my friend's blog this week and one totally got me thinking about my life and the music in my life. In his blog, my friend wrote: Robin Sharma says do your best and let life take care of the rest. He is a motivational speaker, author ("Monk who sold his Ferrari", "The saint, ... More..

I never ever, ever should have turned the radio on this morning.I should have just left the TV on and grooved to the musical numbers from the Backyardigans on Treehouse.Instead, I randomly selected a radio station and the first song I heard was Guns 'N Roses 'Welcome To The Jungle'.Now normally I crank up this song when I hea...

This past weekend I did a marathon "under-48-hours-mommy-is-getting-a-break-and-is-ge tting-an-entire king-size-bed-to-herself" trip to Toronto to surprise one of my best friends at her 'keep it a secret she doesn't know anything about this' wedding shower.

In this celebrity obsessed world where the idea of 'perfection' is constantly attempted to be obtained, along comes an ordinary looking woman in her late 40s who gives our collective asses a much needed kick and forces us to remember that old adage 'don't judge a book by its cover.'

Growing up I clearly remember being the envy of the kids on my street because of the huge 'playhouse' we had in our backyard. It was actually supposed to be my dad's storage shed but somehow my sister and I convinced my dad to hold off on his storage shed dreams and instead he pimped it out 'playhouse' style.

The fact that this is even being written is a miracle itself. It means that somehow I managed to put down the Nintendo DS console and made my way over to the computer, turned it on and started to type. See I've been in this video game trance for the last week or so. I've neglected the household chores [laundry room...what?... More..
