I’ve had the pleasure of helping out with the organization of a fundraiser. I have learned that organizing a fundraiser is a ton of work, but knowing that all of the proceeds go to a great cause, the Casey House Foundation, makes it entirely worthwhile. Mind you, I’m not doing any of the difficult [...]

I have never been one to procrastinate.  I thrive on checking things off my To Do List.  But when it comes to taking my vacation… that is a different story.  Having put off taking my vacation all year, it came down to a use it or lose it situation - with the clock ticking and [...]

So the ex is winding down this weekend which signifies the end of summer – boo hoo. I personally have not been to the ex in many many years but it is a nice tradition for us Torontonians to remind us that we need to squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of the last lazy [...]

Like any office filled with creative minds you’re on the front lines of the incredible work that they produce. However, it’s also a large window into the soul of a functional insane asylum.
Right now our triple threat of designing women are hard at work on London Dream Lottery (98% sold out, get your tickets now!) [...]

On Saturday May 2, 2009 I had the honour of joining hundreds of women – and the odd man – at the Habitat for Humanity Toronto’s Women Build near Morningside and Lawrence (Scarborough, Ontario).  It was my first experience with Habitat and it will definitely not be my last!
Women Build is about building homes, with [...]
