Lose the 2019 Mindset: 10 Tasks To Do Now So You Can Slack Later

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

Yesterday I spent the day pursuing stress free, mindless activities. I planted an indoor garden, read a book that did not try to fix me in any way, and watched two RomComs filled with escapism and lots of PDAs. I crawled into bed exhausted and as I was blissfully beginning to fall asleep my eyes popped open and I immediately regretted my life choices. I had been behaving like 2019 in a 2020 world, and friends that is not an option this fall. The art of keeping up with yesterday is no …

Holidays with Huawei – The P30 Pro Captures Memories at Their Best

By //  by Candace Sampson 142 Comments

As I get older the list of "things" I want for Christmas becomes shorter and shorter. It's the realization of course that the things we really want in life, can't be bought in a store. Memories, unique experiences, and emotional connection are truly the best gifts we can give each other. I can't recall what anyone gave me from one year to the next, but I can go back through pictures (to date, 64K of them in the cloud) and recall every emotion I felt hugging a child or seeing them respond …

Hard Boiled Eggs From Monday to Friday

October 11th is World Egg Day, the day we celebrate the humble egg and the farmers who get them to our table. In 2018, Canadian Farmers produced an astounding 752 million dozen eggs! I haven't done an "official" count but I'm confident at least a million of those eggs have been consumed in my house. With certainty I can at the very least say I hard boil 624 eggs a year. Sunday in my house is all about meal-prep. With a little planning I have lunches from Monday to Friday down pat, and I …

Volunteer Driving – Meet Eight Canadian Heroes

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

People are awesome. In a world where most headlines, tweets and social media shares would have us believe otherwise, it’s important to remind ourselves of that. Sometimes, it means we have to shift our gaze from our screens and out into the real world to find the people who are making a difference.  Kal Tire recently did just that when they set about finding Canada’s Road Heroes.   Through a contest run on their social media pages, Kal Tire asked for stories of amazing Canadians who were …

My Top Five Money Regrets Raising Kids

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

**This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of EQ Bank. However, as always, all opinions are my own. I am at the stage of parenting, where I can actually see the finish line; a shimmering mirage in the distance. I’m a little out of breath, limping a little, but the promise of crossing that finish line dragging my two girls into adulthood, whether they like it or not, is a powerful motivator. When you’re in the marathon this long, you learn a few things along the way about making it the …
