Earth Day 2014 You are a standup citizen, I mean you hold doors open for others, give your seat on the bus/metro to the elderly, you vote, file your taxes, have good work ethic, care about your community and your planet.. But, it’s Earth Day and you’re thinking “Hmm…I have no power over the mega […]
Several months ago I stumbled across this trailer. I wanted to share it in honour of the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide. (FYI the hauntingly beautiful song is Slip Away by Josh Garrels) Unforgiven: Rwanda from Augustin Pictures on Vimeo. I am really looking forward to seeing this film. I have been unable to […]
I saw this flowchart originally posted on Upworthy in an article discussing how, typically, only “old” and generally-agreed-upon-classics are considered as mandatory readings in school.

Our ‘Wine not Read’ rating: 5 / 5 Well, after the somewhat disappointing start to our book club (yeah, we really didn’t enjoy our first book), we were nervous and cautious in selecting our second.

Wedding planning is fun. I mean honestly, when else are you not just allowed, but encouraged to spend countless hours obsessing over different colour schemes, crafts, flowers, designs, and other awesome-ness !?! From the very beginning we knew we wanted a DIY and Eco-conscious wedding… as much as possible that is. This turned out to be […]
Oh yes, the good ‘ol sleepless night, reading into the wee hours of the morning, procrastinating all other tasks to finish “just one more chapter”… Welcome to the world of a book addict. As long as I can remember, I have loved reading… I can clearly remember my mother catching me reading with a flashlight […]
