Early Spring Garden Chores
There are a few things you can get started on in your gardens in late winter or early spring.
Pruning Shrubs While Dormant
Dogwood are examples of shrubs that prefer to be pruned in late winter or very early spring. So are purple smoke tree and viburnum. Snowball and pannicle hydrangeas can be trimmed a bit later, still before new growth appears though.

Stillbirths, Miscarriages, and Healthy Pregnancies: G9P3A3
Daily writing promptHow has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?View all responses
I wrote this story years after my three stillbirths, three miscarriages, and three healthy pregnancies (AKA as G9P3A3) with humor, candor, wisdom, and hindsight, all things I did not have much of at the time. Hopefully, my story will provide inspiration and comfort to others that have or…

Dealing With Stress, What's Your Method?
What’s your tried and true method for dealing with stress? Experts have their opinions and advice of course but many of them are not that easy to follow.
With the costs of just about everything soaring, most of us have financial stress of some sort these days. If not our own financial woes, then that of our children, or grandchildren, which in turn causes stress for us. Stress can be a vicious…

Stop Worrying About Your Kids? Never!
When do you stop worrying about your kids? The short answer? You never do! I hate to be the bearer of bad news for those of you stressed out with young kids or teenagers but it doesn’t get better. And maybe you’re not (legally) responsible for them after they reach adulthood but that doesn’t lessen the load. The issues that you worry about are different. But you still worry.

Honey Lovers Rejoice in Health Benefits
Did you know that honey has several health benefits? It’s known to have antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammtory properties and aid in combatting seasonal allergies. That’s lots of goodness in a natural sweetener.
The Power of Antioxidants
You’ve most likely seen honey flavoured cough drops and syrup, or been advised to add it to your tea when fighting a cold. That’s because of the…

Asbestos, Still a Household Hazard?
Recently I was contacted by an employee at Lanier Law, litigators for the many victims exposed to asbestos over the years. While most of us know asbestos was an issue in older homes and buildings constructed before 1990, you might be shocked to know it’s still around. Lanier Law are also advocators for spreading knowledge and passing bans on its continued use and import practices. In this post…

Senator's Goalies, Starter vs Backup
I’m going to start this off by saying I hate the fact that Anton Forsberg only gets the nod in net every tenth game or so in recent months. In my humble opinion, (I’m no coach) you should only have the starter/backup designation when one goalie is outperforming the other. The Senator’s goalies are fairly equal in performance, age, and even (somewhat) salary. It seems to be common practice in the…

Behind the Bench with the Ottawa Senators
While some find it difficult to understand why it’s a coaching problem when a team is not performing well, others are quick to point the finger. That’s certainly been the dilemma in Ottawa with the coaching change behind the Senators bench. Was the issue the coach or the undeniably talented yet overpaid and underperforming players?

Sometimes players are not overly fond of…

Vinegar: Household Cleaner and Health Remedy
Is the power of vinegar an old wives’ tale or a well-known fact?
Why Vinegar?
Vinegar is basically (pun intended, although without a chemistry background it might make no sense) acetic acid and as such makes an effective and inexpensive cleaning agent.
Being very aware of and sensitive to TOXINS, I do use extra-strength (10%) plain white vinegar for many things. This extra-strength variety…

Tea Life Carries Unique and Healthy Teas
Teas can be very healthy as long as you don’t add sugar and other unhealthy sweeteners. Although I love my morning coffee, tea is my drink of choice when fighting a cold. I also use tea as the liquid in my morning smoothies. Christmas is coming and these teas from Tea Life would make great stocking stuffers. Here are a few that caught my eye; there are lots more to choose from.

Naturopathic Healthcare
I was reminded recently of the efficiency and thoroughness of naturopathic healthcare. This is not my first time relying on a naturopath to get me sorted out. Way back in 2011, it was also a naturopath that figured out my wheat intolerance. I’m not sure why it took me so long to contact her for help this time, perhaps my memory is not as sharp as it used to be.

SelfDecode to Personalize Your Healthcare
Are you frustrated with your healthcare or lack of it? I stumbled upon SelfDecode recently in my attempts to organize and investigate my own health issues. Previously I’ve used the services of a naturopath to determine a significant food sensitivity and most recently a nutritional deficiency. This DNA kit includes these tests and more.
