7 Tips To Prepare Your Car For Winter

December 8, 2020 by Kathryn 1 Comment

Winter weather always means making some changes to the daily routine. Like most people, the first snowfall finds me digging out winter boots, putting away bicycles and other outdoor gear, changing my furnace filter, and doing some other general winterizing.

November 25, 2020 by Kathryn 3 Comments

Going to university is a big change for a student. While most of them will enjoy the independence of university life, the lack of enforced structure and routine can leave a few baffled.

And juggling lectures, practicals, assignments, projects, and extra-curricular activities can be emotionally draining. Things can become particularly difficult if one suffers from any mental health disorders such as depression or anxiety.

I have to admit, it worries me that once my boys go to university, I can’t be there for them the way I can right now. But that doesn’t mean I can’t support them in other ways! [Read more…]
