One of the things I do is tutor, mostly high school kids. I've done it since I was in grade 11 so for the last OMG 18 years! It's actually my favourite thing that I do and no matter how busy I get I'll probably always tutor a little. So parents and students how do... Continue Reading →

It sounded like she had a bit of a rough time with her cheerers that race and once or twice honey hasn't been totally over the moon excited... Continue Reading →

Most of all I learned that I could do it! And If I can you probably can too! It was sort of 10 years in the making and pretty darn close to a life changing experience. I learned A LOT in the process about myself, running, training and how I want to be in the... Continue Reading →
So you have a black thumb, don't worry there is hope! If you can't grow squat then you don't need advice on pruning, composting or freeing root bound plants. Let's go back, way, way back and get you to the "I might be able to grow more tomatoes per plant next year," by the end... Continue Reading →
