My 1 year old son poops on the toilet. It's been happening for months, not that I'm bragging (well, maybe a teeny bit). I am immensely proud that my boy, who only has a handful of teeth and not much more than a glorified comb-over, can sit, grunt and do the deed on...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basYou don't need me to tell you the heyday of the mellow yellow smile is well in the past. Well, at least for those who got the memo. Though not everyone cares about teeth whitening (some don't even care about teeth brushing - but let's not get crazy here), an interesting study from Crest came out that suggests the majority of your fellow Canadians not only expect you to have...

For a girl who struggles over which variety of apples to buy at the supermarket, I'm not sure how I'm going to handle this. The time has come for me to choose where I'll redeem some of my hard earned points from my American Express ChoicePlus card.

The last two years have been a blur. Between having a baby, buying a 120-year-old house, and figuring out how to balance it all with a job I love, let's just say I'm personally keeping all the coffee houses in Toronto in the black.

I am so glad my dating days are behind me. Especially first dates! Sure, they can be fun and exciting with all of the newness and anticipation, but they are also extremely nerve-wracking. Aside from the whole chemistry/compatibility question, there is the scariness of The First Kiss.
