Mother's Day Gift Guide

Mother's day is coming up very soon so here I am sharing a few ideas for gifts you could get for that special woman in your life.  Every woman loves jewelry right? Jewelry shops such as Pandora, Michael Hill, Prouds an Swarovski have a special collection for mothers day so you could get a bracelet or charm from Pandora or a necklace from Swarovaski.  Get your mom a "Best Mom Ever" mug. She will love drinking coffee or tea out of it and could keep it in her office. You could make an extra special mug by personalizing one on sites like Zazzle, Gossby and Vista Print. You can only make personalized mugs in Kmart.  For the mum who is always out and about, why not get her a reusable cup so she can take her coffee with her on her commute to work or when she has to run errands. These cups are available in stores and online on au.keepcup.com and hellogreen.com.au. Cardigans, sweaters, hoodies and scarves are perfect gifts, especially because winter is approaching here in Australi...

Wrong Time

 Hello everyone!  In September last year, I wrote a post introducing a great Canadian musician named Justin Wack who I found while browsing YouTube one night and I am very happy to say that today he has released a brand new single called Wrong Time ! I was in the middle of a movie when I received the notification that it was out and I immediately paused the movie to listen. I have been eagerly waiting to hear new music from him soI am extremely happy now. It has been playing on repeat for the last two hours! If you haven't already read that first post I wrote about Justin, click here -  http://thevrk.blogspot.com/2020/09/introducing-justin-wack.html All the songs he has out are really good so I knew his new one had to be and he has exceeded my expectations. Justin posted the cover art for Wrong Time on Instagram,Twitter and Facebook yesterday. The outlines of the man with a guitar and woman are great. It's simple but attractive. When I saw it, I instantly thought that he ...

Book Review: Crossroads

People around the world were devastated to hear of the bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team in Canada on April 6, 2018. It was a day that changed the lives of 29 families forever and one of the survivors, Kaleb Dahlgren, has written a book called Crossroads where he tells the story of his life from childhood right up to the summer of 2019. He talks about the crash and everything he has experienced and done since then but as you read through it, you will see that Kaleb is more than a Humboldt Broncos crash survivor and learn valuable lessons.  Here I'm going to share my thoughts on the book, starting with the cover. Just look at it. It's beautiful and gives me chills!  I love that the title of the book is called Crossroads and Kaleb is pictured standing at a crossroad. The photo is amazing right?! You may think that it's photoshopped but no, it is a real photo. In an interview on Humboldt radio station 107.5 Bolt FM, Kaleb said that the Nipawin RCMP helped t...
