  The Dreaded Spring Cleaning As much as I, Kim G, love the sight of grass, budding trees, the baby robins hatching near my front door and my tulips coming up. I dread "Spring Cleaning".

I got this e-mail yesterday from my Mom and as a stay at home Mom it made me smile. When someone asks me what I do for a living I often say "I just stay home with my kids".

A woman, renewing her driver's license at the  County  Clerk 's office, was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how … [Read more...]

It ws quite the gala with the CEO and President of Cineplex from Toronto, Mr. Ellis Jacob. He made me laugh when he said he that opening new theaters is like having a new baby, so now he has 132 babies to look after and I also loved that he has changed the Canadian Theater industry having gone from mostly US owners to now almost all … [Read more...]

I am always on the search for the perfect Mother's Day gift for both my Mom and my Mother-in-Law. This year I came across this very cool flower pot idea and thought "I can do that". I'm not very crafty at all! But I did it and it turned out beautifully! So beautiful in fact I decided I had to make another one for my Grandma and I can't wait to give them to them!  So here's what you have to do, easy peasy! Print off a number of black & white photos on regular white paper of what ever you want to feature on the flower pot, I did my kids. … [Read more...]
