It’s no secret that we’re long-time fans of Sesame Street – when I searched the term on the blog, I got four pages of posts mentioning it. So when the fine peeps at Scotiabank Place asked if I’d be interested in promoting the new stage production, “Sesame Street Live: Elmo’s Green Thumb,” I was delighted … Continue reading “Ottawa family giveaway: Sesame Street Live at Scotiabank Place!”
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the debut of Sesame Street. I love Sesame Street madly and deeply, and have since I was a preschooler. I may have mentioned that once or two dozen times before. You know who else loves Sesame Street? My kids. Of all the children’s programming we have on DVD and … Continue reading “Celebrating four decades with 5 things about Sesame Street”
Like me, Sesame Street is 39 years old — and still going strong! I’ve blogged before about my love for the show, especially the old skool ones where Cookie Monster loved his cookies always and not just as a sometimes food.

This one is from way back in 2005, when I still had enough energy and clarity of mind to research a topic and mount a passionate debate about minutiae, rather than just whinge in 140 characters or less, and … Continue reading “Flashback Faves: Zed versus Zee, a love letter to Nancy”
After a couple of years of working with and talking about Fisher-Price toys, it’s clear that while they have a diverse lineup of products and toys the one that most resonates with people is the Little People line. We had them as kids, and I’m sure you did, too! It’s funny to watch peoples’ faces … Continue reading “Fisher-Price favourite: Little People!”
I was at work when Beloved called with urgent news. “Did you see there’s a Fisher-Price Little People Batcave now?” he asked, excitement clear in his voice. “What?” I asked, not sure I’d heard correctly. Sure enough, I looked it up on the Fisher-Price website and there it was — Batman and the Batcave , … Continue reading “Because really, aren’t we all Wonder Woman?”
As you know, I am very selective about advertising, product reviews and giveaways. Any service or brand that gets featured here comes with my personal endorsement, which I won’t give lightly. Not too long ago, I had a great offer for a year-long blogging affiliation that would have come with an all-expenses-paid trip to BlogHer … Continue reading “Exciting new bloggy news”
