Merry Christmas

Good morning everyone!

May the holiday season sparkle and shine, and may all of your wishes and dreams come true!
During the rush of the holidays, don't forget to take time to enjoy the little things that really matter!

Abortion Rights?

"Pro-life is like saying 'I know what's best for you',
pro-choice says 'you know what's best for you'..."

I think that, after having a child of my own, my views on Canada’s abortion laws have changed… drastically.

Back in 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a woman had the right to terminate her pregnancy at any stage; for good reasons, bad reasons, or any reason at all. I knew this before, but I guess I really never thought about it in depth. After all, I was only 9 years old when the law was passed!

Elf On The Shelf

Facebook “memories” made me laugh today!

This morning, it reminded me of an old post stating how much I disliked the whole “Elf on the Shelf” phenomenon and how I’m pretty sure the parents just bought the creepy little elves for themselves! Flash forward to last weekend and, I admit it, I’ve taken “Elf on the Shelf” to a whole other level!

We don’t have the creepy little guy; no, no, no… we have a CUSTOM elf on the shelf! And not just one, but two!!!

Role Models

"Teach your daughters to worry less about fitting into glass slippers
and more about shattering glass ceilings." 

Melissa Marchionna 

Looking back, I can’t really identify any strong female role models that I had to look up to. There were numerous fictional characters, especially being a 9 year old girl oddly obsessed with Shakespeare’s heroines, but no one in my day to day world that I could relate to. It’s sad to say, but no one was really around long enough to set that kind of example for me; the majority of teachers and peers come in and out of your life with each year that passes.

Come to think of it, there weren’t any male role models either for that matter.
