Hi Claire, You're right! I guess I'll have that (social and performance anxiety) to worry about once she gets through her separation anxiety phase. Unfortunately, she's been crying everyday at drop-off. But it's been getting better each day. I guess as parents the worrying never ends. It just changes as they age. Have a wonderful weekend!

How Memory Changes with Age
Image
My grandma often opens a kitchen cupboard and stares at it. “What did I need?” she would mumble. Sometimes she would tell us a story, not remembering she had already told us it. According to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, 40% of people over the age of 65 experience some... Continue reading

Thanks, LaiLa. I agree with you that the first option should always be to reuse or recycle and in this case to donate. I should have worded it the other way to emphasize that better. I have seen signs at that retail store but thought it was only during Earth week. (I haven't been to a mall in awhile.) I will definitely have a closer look next time. Thanks again for your suggestions and comment!

Thanks, Rahma! The cold and wet weather this weekend didn't help, though. The rugs and pillows will have to wait. Happy cleaning to you, too!

Spring Cleaning

The weather is finally consistently warm and pleasant. Now it’s time to get out the vacuums, dusters and cleaning supplies to remove the buildup of dust and dirt from the winter months. Last weekend, I thoroughly vacuumed the house. I moved beds, couches, dressers and other furniture to reach places... Continue reading

Hi Kaila, Thank you for the FYI. It's unfortunate that another magazine has ceased its publication. The last issue for this title was the Spring 2016 issue. At the North York Central Library, we have back issues dating back to 2006 and at the Toronto Reference Library, they have issues dating back to 1990! Back issues are also available on Zinio, dating back to 2013. Hopefully we'll get another Canadian gardening magazine in the future. Thanks for your comment.
