Hi Reader,Happy Lunar New Year! 🐍🥳🎉I've been down with a nasty flu for over a week. I can't seem to stop coughing and I think I may have cracked a rib. I don't think I've ever coughed this much but I'm hoping to turn the corner soon. If anyone has any tried and true home remedies to stop a cough, please drop me a line.So far, with a flood, our car being a write off with the motor being blown, as well as coming down with what feels like the bubonic plague, 2025, and the start of the Year of...

Hi Reader,How has your January been so far? I was hoping to write sooner but between getting sick over the holidays, a huge flood last week that caused some pretty serious water damage in our home which is going to cost thousands in repair, and the motor getting blown in our car which has rendered it pretty much not worth repairing, it hasn't been the amazing start that I had hoped for in 2025. 😅I've been excited to unveil some new products and courses with you but all these (not so) little...

Hi Reader, How was Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Whether you stocked up on fantastic deals (or steered clear of the hullaballoo), I hope you got everything you wanted from it and nothing you didn't!I fared pretty well this year. I had a scaled down list of business items as well as personal items which I was hoping to get and was able to pick up a few of the things I wanted. Some subscriptions I was hoping to get didn't go on sale which was a bummer but if something's really good, then they're...

Hi Reader,By now I'm sure you're experiencing EBFF. (Extreme Black Friday Fatigue.) The good news is, we're almost done so you can get back to normalcy. The bad thing is - we're not done yet as a lot of things are ending today (or very soon) so there's no more time to lollygag if you've been contemplating certain things.I just wanted to share a Black Friday from my younger days. My dear hubby (DH) who at the time, I had been dating for a few months, went away to Chicago for Thanksgiving. I...

Hi Reader,Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! I hope you're having a wonderful day relaxing, eating lots of delicious food and not feeling guilty about it! I'm finally back from my extended birthday celebrations this weekend. I took the day off on Friday to spend with my husband who also surprised me by booking Monday off. I've done a lot of window shopping over the past few days starting at the One of a Kind show in Toronto on Friday which is a huge convention of local artisans who...

Hi Reader, Even though Black Friday doesn't technically start until the day after Thanksgiving, it really feels like the event is in full swing, doesn't it?I'm already starting to feel burnt out. How about you? 😆Do you love it? Do you hate it? I remember in Days of Olde... (you know, back in the days when you walked to school for hours in waist deep snow...) there was an old school approach to Black Friday. (We're talking the aughts here.) This was when Black Friday truly fell upon a Friday....

Hi Reader,Happy Monday! I'm just getting into the swing of things but I had to pop in to tell you about an amazing tool that's ending at 11:59 EST tonight.If you've been with me for awhile, you know I'm a big fan of lifetime deals and avoid recurring fees wherever possible.So when my good friend Ike Paz sent me a DM on Facebook a month ago asking me to review his brand new coloring book software, I was excited to check it out. Nurie CreatorIke and his partner Luke Bowes have just put out an...

Hi Reader,I’m sorry to have taken so long to have written you but a chain of unfortunate events snowballed into an avalanche and I needed to hit pause for bit. In this case, four months. 🤦🏻♀️I don’t want to bore you with a long, involved, laundry list of reasons why I've been M.I.A., but I’ll be recounting some of those setbacks soon as there were definitely lessons to be had and I think sharing them might be helpful to others.I'll also be including some snippets of my European adventure...
