Small businesses are essential for our economy and are a HUGE  part of the fabric that makes up our community. Familiar faces behind these establishments are our family, neighbours, and friends, and all help create this place we call home. Remember the time they donated that prize for your shag, sponsored your baseball team, made delicious eats for your event, or helped you create that memorable moment with your family that you won’t ever forget? Although we know they are all tough cookies, most are feeling a financial strain right now, and are worried about the future. So if you need to buy something—[…]

Ya, I know your summer vacation plans have been derailed by the pandemic, but that doesn’t  mean we’re going to spend the next two months watching Netflix all day. No!

Not a problem. Sunrise at 6am?  You got it. Frankly, why would we even be spending a single second inside when it’s beautiful all day long? Aside from the sun being on its best and brightest[…]

Life in Full Bloom.

I was having cocktails with one of my best friends the other night, going on and on about that new Beyoncé documentary on Netflix… you know, the one that chronicles everything that went into that unforgettable Coachella performance, (the show that was sooooo worth the midweek sleep deprivation).

I knew I wasn’t boring her with my conversation,  so why the hell was she not paying attention!? After calling her out on her[…]
