It is with great excitement and pride that I am sharing with you the wonderfully written and mystical children's book, Starfall.  Written by my very talented and imaginative friend, Diana Kolpak, with images by Kathleen Finlay. Diana also performed for the images that were taken for the book by Kathleen.  The story of Meera, in search for the fallen stars, is inspirational and magical.  It is bound...

Good Fork has recently replaced the short lived and very orange Felicious in Bloor West Village.  It is a diner style restaurant with delish food and a warm spacious atmosphere. The staff were so sweet with ALL of our little ones. The restaurant reopened under new ownership AND a new chef. Definitely a step up and an asset for the neighbourhood. I recently tried Good Fork for lunch with 3 mommy...

We had attempted to try the Napoletana pizzeria Libretto but we got there a little later than...

Then you can feed your baby right from the spoon without the mess...

April 29th 2011 is a monumental day for me on three levels: 1) It was my father's birthday; 2) Will and Kate were married in the wedding of the decade; and 3) The Fed Ex delivery man arrived with my Bugaboo Donkey stroller. As I have written about before, my bigger "little" guy is a handful, so a double stroller was a must. He needs to be strapped down when out and about, especially when I am out shopping...
