Do you have a secret?

September 13, 2007 by Tricia

My husband was watching an episode of The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos while I worked on my computer and I started listening when George started interviewing the Post Secret blog creator.

Have you visited Post Secrets? It’s a site where people send in post card confessions or secrets. The blogger does a weekly post of about 20 post card confessions.

Some of the posted secrets are funny, some are sad and some are very revealing:

Some express a wish to return to the innocence of our youth:

I suppose visiting this site is voyeurism to some degree, but when I heard about it I had to check it out.

Have you visited Post Secret before? Or have you sent in your own post card?

Cool Parents Buy Bedding by VisionBedding

September 13, 2007 by Tricia

This is the time of year when many of us start to think about gifts for the holidays. Not only that, since we are indoors more often many of us begin to think of ways to redecorate our homes too.

If you are a parent you might be thinking of ways to change the style of one of your kids rooms. Perhaps you want to redecorate the baby room in a style more appropriate for your young child, or maybe you have a pre-teen and you’d like to give their room a more mature look? Certainly replacing the bedding will give a room a new fresh look.

Whenever I decide to give one of our bedrooms a new look I start with the bedding. I pick out a bedspread, or duvet with a lovely design and then I pick out accessories and even the wall color, if I’m repainting, using colors that I’ve picked from the new bedding. That way everything is beautifully co-ordinated.

One great place to visit when looking for bedding for teens is VisionBedding. They have a wide variety of unique designs from which to chose.

queencoralflower.jpg The bedding designs at VisionBedding are unique because it’s photo bedding. That’s right – photo bedding. There are several pre-made designs to chose from like the coral bedding included on the right, or you can personalize bedspreads, duvet covers, throw pillows, pillow shams and blankets with your own favorite photograph.

Wouldn’t you just be the coolest parent if you re-did your teenagers bedroom with some of the fantastic pre-made Teen Bedding designs from VisionBedding that reflected your teens favorite things such as sports, hobbies, animals or something else they really enjoy?

If the pre-made bedding designs aren’t enough to chose from you can always upload a high quality digital photo or photos and have VisionBedding create custom bedding for you. You might choose from a collage of photos or one single photo to create a beautiful design on a bedspread, duvet or sham or pillow cover.

VisionBedding states that they strive to offer designs to fit anyones’ hobby, personality or style. With the ability to create your very own designs that statement has got to be true.

VisionBedding ships throughout the USA and yes even Canada. Since many of their products are custom design they are made one at a time as the orders come in so you can be assured of the quality.

So what are you waiting for? Go visit VisionBedding. Don’t you want to be one of the coolest parents around?

Cavemen – new fall tv show

September 13, 2007 by Tricia

I was reading this weeks People magazine earlier today and they had a section talking about new television shows for the Fall season. Did you know that there’s going to be a show based on the Geiko Cavemen commercials???

Yeah, it’s called Cavemen and it premieres on ABC on Tuesday, October 2nd at 8 p.m.. It’s about three cavemen who’ve struggled to acclimate themselves into urban society and their lives in San Diego CA.

From the shows website:

Meet three cavemen who have successfully made the move to San Diego and are just trying to fit in. Joel (Bill English) is a sophisticated and intelligent man who has a beautiful girlfriend, a decent job and shares an apartment with his younger brother, Andy (Sam Huntington, Superman Returns), and his best friend, Nick (Nick Kroll, VH1’s Best Week Ever). Nick is wary of the Homo sapien world and feels like he’s running away from his heritage. Andy, on the other hand, looks at this new world with his eyes wide open and is willing to take risks in order to learn and to live life to the fullest.

Nick questions Joel on many of his choices, including his girlfriend, Kate (Kaitlin Doubleday, The TV Set), a beautiful Homo sapien woman and high society southern belle. The fact that Kate’s eccentric mother, Leslie (Julie White, Tony Award winner for The Little Dog Laughed), owns Joel’s condominium complex makes things even more complicated for the three roommates. Meanwhile, Kate’s best friend, Thorne (Stephanie Lemelin), is intent on discovering the cavemen’s wilder side.

Joel, Nick and Andy have to overcome prejudice from most of the Homo sapien world and the misconceptions that modern society has of its earliest ancestors. In order for these cavemen to survive in the 21st century, they must work together to render those misconceptions extinct.

I really don’t know if this show will go over well or not. I think it will have to be pretty funny to make it. I don’t know what the full Tuesday line up of shows will be, but I expect this show will have some heavy competition.

What do you think? Will you check out this show or not?

The barn in the Meadow

September 13, 2007 by Tricia

Don’t you love old barns?

I took this photo last year when we were driving from Ottawa back to Toronto. We’d been on a visit to Ottawa to attend a birthday party for one of my aunts and as we drove home we just had to stop and take a few photos of the lovely scenery along the way.

I’m from Ottawa and now that my parents are gone we don’t get out that way very often anymore. One of my brothers still lives there, but he seems to come here more than we go there.

Enjoy free time on the weekend? Visit Everyday Weekender

September 13, 2007 by Tricia

I’ve just spent some time reading a blog that I just came across called Everyday Weekender. The site is written by a fellow Ontarian who’s written this blog as a celebration of the weekend. Who wouldn’t like a site that’s all about enjoying some well deserved R&R on the weekend?

Not only is this site written by a fellow Canadian, but I think we might have some things in common. He writes about spending time in the garden, traveling to one of my favorite Caribbean islands – the Dominican Republic, Southern Ontario attractions and events, barbecuing, cottage life and one of my favorite cottage type activities – canoeing!

Yes, it was a post about his new canoe that caught my eye. I’m sure by now you guys know how much I love canoeing so how can I not like someone who’s just learning how to canoe?

There’s plenty of interesting posts filled with DIY activities that will help you enjoy your weekends such as this post about making your own Keggerator. Yes, that’s turning a fridge into a big beer keg! I must show Chris this post … or maybe I shouldn’t as I’m sure I’ll end up with a Keggerator in my basement if I do!

I Luv this site.

If all of that isn’t enough to get you to go and have a peek at Everyday Weekender there is the matter of the PR 5 linkback promotion he’s having. That’s right. If you write an article about his blog he’ll link back to you and you’ll get a link from a PR 5 blog. Gaining another PR5 link for my site is nice, but that’s really not why I choose to tell you about Everyday Weekender today. I don’t gush about sites just for links. I really do love this site and I’ve added it to my blogroll already.
