Today’s “Tackle” is Paper. There seems to be paper everywhere. There’s newspapers, mail, school work, home drawings, receipts and more. I constantly struggle with paper organization. How long do you keep your paperwork like visa bills, insurance papers, tax folders etc.? Seriously, please leave me a comment and let me know. I want to know I’m not the only freak…or if I am! I keep the last seven years of tax purposes and I keep a few years of paperwork bills (although most of our bills are electronic now, thank goodness!). My hubby thinks I’m nuts for my paperwork files! … Continue reading →

Disney Live! Three Classic Fairytales (REVIEW)

Disney Live! presents Three Classic Fairytales has just finished showing and my family was fortunate enough to attend the Toronto show at Rogers Center. The kids were super excited as usual and were very eager to see what the show would bring. I honestly don’t think that there is a bad seat for viewing shows like this at Rogers Center. We had a lovely view of the HUGE stage, but I honestly think we would have felt the same way sitting much further back or to the side. The characters’ costumes were huge and larger than life and the effects … Continue reading →
