Last Sunday afternoon something happened in my life that I will never forget. That event was my oldest daughter roding her bicycle down our driveway on her own! No training wheels, no Dad holding on to the back of her seat, completely on her own! It was awesome! She did it a few more times this week and we got it on video. The process of helping my daughter learn to ride her bike reminded me that there is a lot happening at once to make a bike go forward while keeping your balance, particularly keeping your balance while turning. It's...

Gift-giving is hard. It takes a lot of thought and preparation, and there’s the uncertainty of whether the recipient will even like it. That’s why it’s always smart to give a gift that someone actually needs, and I think just about everyone could use a pair of wireless earbuds.

Everything is relative. For example, Shaq might not look tall when he's on camera next to other basketball players and Simone Biles might not seem short when you see her competing against other gymnasts but put them near each other and you'll instantly get an idea of their size.

It's a series we've been working on for a while too; if you like scrolling through these images,...

In fact when I went back and checked, the last time I wrote about going out for brunch was when I had homemade baked beans at The Weir in February 2020, which felt rather poignant and sad. A couple of weeks ago though, when Mako the...

Do you want to know where you can find sponsors and donors for your school fete or fundraising event? Our school is about six months away from our first ever fete, which means we are in the thick of trying to find sponsors and donations to help us pay for all the exciting stalls and rides we plan to have at our event. It’s important to be creative when searching for sponsorship. No business should be disregarded because it’s too small (or too big) or because their product/service isn’t immediately relevant to a fun-loving fete community. It’s all about making...
