As the year rushes by (as every year before did and every year since will), I was reflecting how addicted to my phone I have become. Rather than reduce my use of the phone to focus on real life, I decided to list the top ten apps that made my phone that much more addictive…

Classic Pecan Tart
I’m actually surprised I haven’t shared this recipe earlier – this one is a sure hit and I have used it many a times for Christmas to Thanksgiving dinners (which are interchangeable for me at this point). This pie is a classic and the crunch of the caramelized pecans with the sweetness of the filling…
Light Travelling 101
There is a growing “Light Travel” movement which I though was interesting. The concept started with campers and hikers whose limited bag capacity and large needs for equipment in remote areas focused on travelling light where you can by reducing the amount of clothes you take and choosing products made of lighter materials. This was…
Online Shopping Red List
I’m no stranger to e-commerce and online shopping. I do my fare share from electronics to baby products. But are there items that are absolutely no goes for online shopping? Do you have a red line or rather a red list of what items you simply would not buy online? Not because of availability or…
Apple Coffee Cake
A slight variation and twist on the classic apple pie, this Apple Coffee Cake has all the deliciousness of the apple with a more understated taste. Did you know what none of the “Coffee Cakes” have coffee in them, the name implies they can be eaten with a nice mug of coffee, can of like…
Travelling With The In-Laws
There aren’t many things that are as close to being in hell as travelling with your in-laws, obviously depending on your in-laws. I for one don’t mind it and I have wonderful in-laws, but yet there are still things to be mindful about travelling with in-laws. Travelling in general puts you in a situation where…
A Partner’s Postpartum
I can only speak for my wife and what I was able to observe after the birth of our beautiful daughter (the second of two). She was less confident, more prone to negative thoughts and borderline depression as well as the occasional short term. I realize that postpartum hormones are a big factor and in…
Peanut Butter Silk Cake
If you are like me and bless the person who figured out the chocolate/peanut butter combo into heaven, you’ll love this cake. It’s a great option for birthdays and other major occasions with a pre-made sponge and where the creamy filling makes it the special cake everyone will talk about. Just make sure you consider…
Money Talk 101 (Ontario)
OK so you decide, eventually, to be responsible and worry about money (or lack thereof). It’s a dry topic, but one day you’ll get an AHA moment and realize you’re head has been buried in the sand for way too long. I am by no means a financial adviser, but what I do know is…
More Musical Hidden Gems
It is interesting to see how pop music has evolved, particularly in the last decade (this BBC article provides really cool insight on how music has changed in the 2010’s). Unlike many people who look back on the past and say “music today” can’t compare – I disagree, the music from your past came with…
