If you’re looking for an easy, weeknight meal – quick to throw together and sure to be devoured – yet not so run-of-the-mill. Then take note. This rich, creamy and delicious meal took 20 minutes to make and about five minutes for the kids to lick their respective plates clean. Enjoy. Ingredients: 500g angel hair…
Well I ushered in my first big disappointment of the summer. After having seen the trailer for this one, I eagerly anticipated Yesterday. It seemed to have a lot going for it – which only made it more of a bummer. Don’t get me wrong – it’s not awful but continue reading below for more…
One hundred days of summer can feel like an eternity. Especially when your kids are small. Especially if you are tied to your home for much of it due to early bedtimes, and sporadic naptimes. Enter the Mom of the Moment Summer Activity Workbook. What would you say if I told you that inside this…
Now that summer’s upon us, so are light, fresh and easy suppers. I found this steak recipe years ago, God knows where, and had hand-written it into one of my tattered recipe books. The kale recipe was in the Toronto Star a couple of days ago. This healthy and easy dish literally took about 15…

Since I was a kid I worried, felt guilt, was overprotective, had my quirks, over-thunk things, and held on to superstitions. Nothing too bad, I just thought I was a worrier. Once I became…
When I saw the trailer for this on the heels of Bohemian Rhapsody’s critical acclaim, I thought it would pale in comparison. But not only does it shine with its own distinct light, it’s a pretty darned good movie to boot. And even though I’m not generally a huge fan of musicals – I really…
When it comes to matters of kindness, kindness matters. It means something to us, it stays with us – much more than anything that hurts us. I put out a call – I wanted to know the kindest thing ever done for you by a stranger – and I was inundated with snippets from lives…
My girls were bugging me to see this and I have to admit – I was on the fence (about wasting $11 on a ticket). But in the end, I tagged along – and was pleasantly surprised. Oftentimes, these movies geared toward teenagers are dumb and lazy. But not this one. It also makes use…
