I was never lucky enough to see April Wine live, BUT, my husband Zach did. His mom and dad, my in-laws, taught Zach about good Canadian Rock and eventu...

Breaking News: I've Finally Joined Netflix and My Couch Couldn't Be Happier!
I recently, at the ripe old age of 29, got Netflix. I feel like a real adult now AND it has sprung a leak within me. What I mean is, you know when you first moved out and immediately bought all the "bad food" you weren't allowed as a kid? Then ate it all and got so sick (for me it was bacon)? WELL, imagine th...

How Wheels of Hope is Stepping Up to Transform the Cancer Journey
As someone who has lost family members to Cancer, watching them not only go through that, but still have to do (what we would call) menial tasks like driving is CRAZY to me.

Snoring: Sawing Logs or Serenading the Night?

Nickelback are fulfilling a prophecy, and I'm not mad about it.
Ok. Controversial opinion, but I don't hate Nickelback. LET ME PREFACE BY SAYING I used to. But I realized, disliking a band because everyone else dislikes this band is kind of silly. Wouldn't you agree? Also, they are about to preform a sort of "halftime" show in my hometown of Edmonton, Alberta for the NHL ...
