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).

Print Those Photos!
My kids are lucky enough to have more clothes and toys in their lives than they know what to do with. So when it comes to their birthday I often opt for other things such as experience based gifts like mini-putt, or aquarium tickets. But in their early years (the first three birthdays of my…

We get so wrapped up with birthday milestones for kids we forget the older bunch who should be equally if not more celebrated for their hard fought milestones.

So you have an idea for an app, you experienced that “A-ha” moment of “why isn’t there an app that does that?” Great, that’s typically the hardest but cheapest part of the whole process. A great app is one that takes an everyday problem and trues to solve it. So then what? Here’s a quick…
Religion and the Environment – A Thought
I don’t consider myself a practicing environmentalist, but I certainly do my part and have deep concern for the current stage of the world, and being a traveller that is inevitable when you see the full beauty of this planet. I also do appreciate the impact that I as a person have on the larger…
Before you sign for that new home
So you’re deciding to buy a home, if it’s the first time you do might want to consider a few things as you look for that perfect home. If it’s not your first one, typically you learn from your mistakes and already know some of these, but might be worth reminding yourself if a couple…
