It used to be that a guided vacation meant a coach full of seniors and involved driving for hours on end.

Guided vacations allow you to travel in a small enough group that you can still enjoy travelling, but […]

My daughter is 9 and my daughter tells, “Yo mama’s so fat” jokes… I am torn. As a comedian, this is fantastic, particularly with lines like, “Yo mama’s so fat, Dora can’t even explore her”; I mean, come on, gold, right? But as a mother, and a woman who rolls her eyes at the ridiculous […]

Recently, I sat down to dinner with two of my clients and had an informal yet frank discussion about what kept them up at night. The number one issue was not money in of itself, but rather their failure, and one partner’s refusal to sit down as a couple and have a discussion about money […]

She had no clue what it was, but tried it and the dog responded within a week. Kefir is a cultured milk product that is made from […]

Working in the Travel Industry, I am often asked where my favourite place in the world is. Even though I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting places on each continent, the answer that just rolls off my tongue is Australia, the Land of Oz. I went to Australia after I graduated from high school. Before our trip […]

A baby can teach you a lot of things. For instance, the other day, I learned the lesson of dealing with circumstances in life that are out of my control. Allow me to elaborate. A baby sleeps, eats, poops and cries when it wants to. Your life revolves around your baby. This means that you […]
