    A few months ago I was invited to an evening event in Orangeville. The invitation was the fourth or fifth I had received that month, and I was tired after a long day at the office, the rush to get dinner on the table and a stressful week around the house. I longed to simply…

    In my family, it was simply known as “The Kids’ Table.” When I was a child and visited my mom’s side of the family, there was a four-by-four-foot card table off to the side of the main table, with seating for me, my brother and my three cousins. On my dad’s side, there wasn’t a Kids’ Table…

    I knocked on my neighbour Allie’s door, ready for our somewhat regular walk. After the kids are tucked into bed, we can often sneak out for a quick hour around the pretty streets and trails of town.

    The dog days of summer are almost here. Families are heading to friends’ houses for afternoon ball games, fence-building work parties, a jump in the pool, and barbecue get-togethers that stretch way past any appropriate bedtime.
