Today I turned 48 🥳 It’s definitely not a typ Today I turned 48 🥳 It’s definitely not a typical birthday but in a lot of ways, it’s been even better! I slept in, had breakfast in bed while reading, got some writing done and will have a great meal with the family before we snuggle in for a movie night. It’s literally my perfect day!⁣ ⁣ I wanted to have a little extra fun so I’m sharing five quirky facts about me that you probably don’t know. I’d love to hear one about you too so please share in the comments 😄⁣ ⁣ 1. I always read the end of a book first. If I don’t like the ending, I don’t bother reading the book! 📚
⁣ ⁣ 2. In elementary school, I was part of the Steel Drum band. I still get teary whenever I hear Jamaican Farewell 🌴
⁣ ⁣ 3. I’m a kitchen gadget fanatic. I love all the cool toys and am obsessed with trying out different recipes in each, which I often share on the blog. This has somewhat (but not entirely) replaced my fascination with office supplies. 🍔
⁣ ⁣ 4. When I was a baby, my brother would blow in my eyes to get me to sleep. To this day, windy days make me sleepy. 💨
⁣ ⁣ 5. I can rewatch movies over and over because I almost never remember them. ⁣🎬 ⁣ Your turn!
⁣ xoxo

Today was the first online class for one of my @se Today was the first online class for one of my @senecamedia courses. My day started out with the same typical regiment, deciding what I should wear and how I should do my hair/makeup. It took about 10mins before I was back in a comfy top and put my hair in a top knot. hahaha. My biggest decision ended up being which glasses I should wear for the webcast. 🤓⁣ ⁣ How was your day?⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #onlinelearning #onlineteaching #virtualclassroom #elearning #distancelearning #learnfromhome #virtuallearning #onlineeducation #onlineclasses #remotelearning #senecaproud #workfromhome #stayhome #stayhomestaysafe #workfromhomelife #workingfromhome #girlswithglasses #workingfromhomeperks #bonlookglasses #tiffanyglasses @senecacollege
I had to go out for some provisions today and I go I had to go out for some provisions today and I gotta say, I was impressed with how great everyone at the supermarket was being with social distancing. 🛒 But as I was nervously getting ready to go, I was struck by how different #whatsinmybag looked today from even just a week ago. ⁣ ⁣ 👜 First off, I didn’t use my typical bag but pulled out something a little bigger that I could comfortably wear on my shoulder without putting it in the cart, like I would normally do. ⁣ ⁣ 🦠 I took out all non-essentials like lip balm that I didn’t want to touch and instead filled my bag with all the necessary items to help keep me germ free, as much as possible. ⁣ ⁣ 🧻 Yes, that is a big container of Lysol wipes you see! I used that to wipe down anything I wasn’t sure about. ⁣ ⁣ 🧴 Kleenex and hand sanitizer were a must. ⁣ ⁣ 🚽 @itsthefannypac sent me over some disposable toilet seat covers, which I appreciated having on hand, just in case 😉 Psst… they’re a Canadian company and are offering free shipping on all orders now!!⁣ ⁣ 🧤 The plastic non-medical grade gloves were very handy and we disposed of them before getting back in the car. ⁣ ⁣ 📱 I made sure to keep my phone in my purse so I didn’t need to touch it and instead wrote my shopping list on good-old-fashioned paper. ⁣ ⁣ 😷 Personally, I didn’t feel like I needed a mask - I had no temptation to touch my face with those gloves on - but if you have any underlying health concerns, it’s not a bad idea.⁣ ⁣ Honestly, I don’t think I’ve spent that much time packing my bag since I had a diaper bag! So, what’s in your bag?⁣
Hi Everyone! I’ve been MIA for a couple of weeks Hi Everyone! I’ve been MIA for a couple of weeks and taking a bit of an Instagram break, focusing on some other platforms and content creation. But I wanted to check in to see how you’re all doing. How’s your family? How are you keeping yourselves busy?⁣ ⁣ The social distancing has definitely taught me and my family a few, unexpected things so far….⁣ ⁣ 🐶 Our pup is happier than I’ve ever seen her. No surprise there!⁣ ⁣ 🎩 My son is a Monopoly shark and literally bankrupted me. I’m somewhat concerned about my retirement years now ;-)⁣ ⁣ 🧤 While I’ve always had a house cleaner (a necessary and budgeted expense for the health of our marriage), we all pitched in and did a huge clean this week. People asked if I felt a sense of accomplishment. NOPE. Can’t wait to get my regular folks back in and I’ll be giving them a raise. ⁣ ⁣ 🧻 We really don’t use that much toilet paper.⁣ ⁣ 🏡 Extreme Home Makeover will make me cry. Every. Time.⁣ ⁣ 👩‍🏫 While I'm sad that I won't see my students in person for the rest of the semester, I’m SO PROUD to be part of the ‪@SenecaMedia‬ team who have been tireless in their efforts to ensure faculty, staff and students are continuing to learn, adapt and work together. ‪#senecaproud‬⁣ ⁣ ‪💡 The more time I have, the less I get done. Is this a bad thing? I’m not quite sure yet. But, I’m happy about all the little around-the-house tasks I’ve been checking off my list, like changing alllll the lightbulbs!‬⁣ ⁣ ‪🌟 I’m not feeling particularly creative so if you have any ideas for a blog post you’d like me to write, please let me know! In the meantime, ‬@elledee13 asked for Fun & Entertaining Activities At Home With Your Family so that one is now on the blog!⁣ ⁣ #indoorplay #familyiseverything #funandgames #monopoly #newblogpost #torontoblogger #indoorfun #ontheblog #ontheblogtoday #boardgamesnight #boardgames #howyoudoin #happypup #timewithkids #cleaninghouse #selfcare #stayhome #stayhealthy ⁣
👧🏻New Blog Post🧒🏻 Do you have kids und 👧🏻New Blog Post🧒🏻 Do you have kids under 13 who have been begging to have a social media account? Maybe they already do? ⁣ ⁣ I have been a long-time advocate of keeping kids off social media for as long as possible. Not everyone has to agree - and that’s okay - ultimately, you need to do what you think is right. But everyone does need to know why age restrictions exist and why those are important. ⁣ ⁣ 💡 Did you know that kids who spend as little as 6hrs a week on social are 47% more likely to say they were unhappy?⁣ ⁣ On today’s blog post, I'm reviewing the age restriction of the most popular social apps and giving you 4 reasons why it's important to uphold them. Knowledge is power. 💪🏻⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #kidsonsocialmedia #socialmediatips #onlinesafety
🌟New Blog Post🌟Do you have thin, fine hair l 🌟New Blog Post🌟Do you have thin, fine hair like I do? In this week’s blog post, I get some expert advice from @hairstylist_cillzzz, review some products including the new HydraSplash collection @joicocanada sent me and get friendly advice from @rendoesathing, @veronha13 and @allthingsmieza!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So many people I know are frustrated with their fine locks. But with the right cut, colour and products, you can make it work. When it comes to thin hair, the solutions are sometimes counterintuitive to what we’ve been led to believe. Take control and learn what’s right for you! ⁣⁣👩👩🏼👩🏽 ⁣⁣ #loveyourhair #hairjoi #hyrdrasplash @langtonpr @centralhairsalon
