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!
Back to School Anxiety
My daughter off to preschool with her security object in hand When I was younger, I would dread this time of the year the most. The nights were getting cooler and the CNE was coming to an end. It was time to go back to school. I still remember vividly my first day of junior kindergarten. We...

Understanding Food Labels
Do you know the difference between the best before date and expiration date label? I’ve always thought they were the same thing. But according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, you can still buy and consume foods that have passed the “best before” date. However, the food may have lost it...

Free Science Events in Toronto for May 2016
The Science and Technology Department of North York Central Library compiles a monthly calendar of free science and applied science events in Toronto. Applied science includes health, gardening, pets and food; all subjects found in the department's collection. Here is the May calendar (PDF). May...
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!
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 pl...
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!

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.

You're right, the term "our planet" has become synonymous with how we represent our environment and ecosystem.
Thank you for your comment.
