April 11, 2019 marked the launch of the Durham Women’s Network with a successful networking event held at The Brock House in Whitby. The network is a space for women to connect, collaborate and support one another, and is the collaborative effort between myself and my one of own mentors, Kerri King. Networking events will be held quarterly and
I haven’t put on a pair of running shoes in a long time. Not even to tour the parks at Disney World, not even for a walk around the block. This past week I laced up for the first time in forever, and set a new goal for myself: to run a half marathon. Not

The dark woods, tiki accents, Mary Blair-inspired artwork and Lilo and Stitch pull-down trundle bed makes me wish the Poly was my home resort!

We will be hearing those magic words on our next Disney vacation, because on our last trip to Walt Disney World, we became members of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC). This decision took us a long time to make–it’s a huge commitment–but at the end of the day, we know that whether we visit every

You will need: terracotta pots from the dollar store; acrylic paint in bright yellow and lavender; sponge paint brushes; scissors; tape; and,
This past spring, we took DD1 to Disney World. I have to admit, it was easier than I thought it would be! The following items are must-have for travelling with baby–whether you are going to Disney World, or heading out on a day trip! Baby bottles I love these Minnie-inspired 10 oz. bottles by Nuk.

Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort is known as a hidden gem on Disney property. I heard many great things about French Quarter, and it’s sister resort Port Orleans Riverside, leading me to book an early spring stay at the resort. The theming is colourful and evokes the feeling of Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The resort’s lush
When we head down to Florida this spring, I plan on setting aside some time to check out some of the aspects of WDW that I overlooked on our last trip. At the top of my list–making sure I give Epcot the time it greatly deserves. This year, we will be lucky to be able
