What a gorgeous weekend! Yesterday, I met the owner of a great little company called "LINGO" she makes custom designed logos for your wall. Much like the ones you see in the store...but better because you can customize the size and wording or create your own sayings. Check her out at www.mylingo.ca

I again want to stress the importance of giving this Holiday season.

My husband and I delivered the 2 hampers this weekend and are very humbled by it. The 1st was delivered to a family of 4 living in a 1 bedroom basement apartment. The father was so modest the only thing they asked for were groceries for a Christmas dinner and Lego for their boys. So, when we arrived and asked for his help t ...

I am so proud of the office I work in, the Pacific Titans and my family for helping to make this Christmas special for 2 families in need this Christmas. I wanted to share this story from one of our families. It is a reminder to us all why we need to give back to those in need not only at Christmas but all year long. It was important for me for many reasons. My family was in need many times t ...

An old sign stating "Colo ...

For the 2nd year in a row we will be sponsoring families in need for Christmas. Last year we sponsored 1 small family and when I delivered the food and gifts there is no way to describe the feeling I walked away with. This year our office is sponsoring 2 small families. After the rough year economically that we have had across the country, more and more families are in need and finding themse ...

I just read a really great article on FASD. For those of you not familiar with the term, FASD is Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. A year and a half ago I would not have known what it meant either. It wasn't until my husband and I adopted almost a year ago now, that we truly started to understand the disorder. Perhaps understand isn't even quite the right word to say. As we are always learning ...

Good to see some positive news coming out. The Bank of Canada drops lending rate another 50bps. Banks have followed suit in dropping prime rate down to record low 2.5%. "Once the global financial system stabilizes and global growth recovers, the underlying strength of the Canadian economy and financial sector should ensure a more rapid recovery in Canada than in most other industrialized nati ...

I recently started up a Twitter account after reading an article this weekend in The Vancouver Sun by Gillian Shaw about using Twitter and some of the tips that she has picked up along the way. The article is below or you can see it in the print version of the paper from Saturday.
