Admitted: I am a PC shopper – out of convenience and brand loyalty. When I was sent information about the new PC G.R.E.E.N. products (just in time for Earth Day!) I was completely on board to share.

Emergency Plans
I’ve been meaning to write this post since that night. But life gets busy – as life does – but something else has happened which prodded me to get this written. Today. So rewind to a bit to the night – where my prince was on a biz. trip. About midnight the power went off…
Parent Club Review: Great Wolf Lodge (2)
There is a reason why Great Wolf Lodge, Niagara Falls was the 2009 Traveller’s Choice Winner: Best For Families; it accommodates adults and children.
