I guess I do talk with my hands. This is why I knock things over all the time!

Made it through my @chch_morninglive tv segment without spilling anything today…except the tea on how to make nutritious snacks for your grandkids:)

Episode #77 of Go-To Grandma goes live on Saturday

Episode #77 of Go-To Grandma goes live on Saturday! It's the end of January, with the prospect of spring and spring flowers still a few months away. But that doesn’t mean the very ardent and the very hesitant of gardeners can’t be involved in the flora and fauna world, right now.

Full disclosure: I don’t garden. I’m just responsible for placing little animal statues around the backyard for our grandsons to find.

Gardening expert, landscape designer and best selling author Carson Arthur of @carsonsgardenmarket is on the show today to tell us what we need to be doing outdoors in our yards, even in the middle of winter. And then we’ll move indoors with Carson as he tells us how to take care of the plants we have in our homes, and how to diagnose and solve common house plant problems. Carson also tells me the best "starter" plant for my 3 year old grandson, Owen.

A common problem we all share is that of wanting to have beautiful flowers and plants around us, but at the same time protecting our environment. Editor in Chief of @harrowsmithmag , @jnreynolds is back on the show to tell us about how to bring flowers into our homes the sustainable way. We’ll talk about the dark side of cut flowers, and how we can lessen our footprint as we lead up to one of flowers’ biggest calendar event, Valentine’s Day, and how to make those flowers last as long as possible. As grandparents, we’re all vested in making sure we are doing our best to leave our grandchildren a world full of beauty.

Do most people know the beauty of having a will in place? Do we think about it more since the pandemic started? This week on our Take 5 With @rbc interview I talk with Leanne Kaufman, president and CEO of Royal Trust as we bust some myths around the motivations we have to make sure our estate planning is in place.

7:30am on @zoomer_radio (AM740, 96.7FM Toronto and zoomerradio.ca)
Up on the podcast Tuesday!

Back in studio to record Episode 78 of Go-To Grandma.

This one will air on Feb 4th. I can’t believe it’s going to be February next week. I feel like we haven’t had much winter weather yet, although a snowstorm is supposed to blow through Toronto today. (Having grown up in Winnipeg and having lived in Edmonton and Calgary I use the term “snowstorm” quite loosely). I took the Go Train just in case today, and I would say about 20% of fellow riders were wearing masks so thanks for that.

On with the show. Stay safe!

Did you know that Type 2 diabetes affects more than 3.5 million Canadians, and that one in two will die of heart disease?

As a grandma, I want to not only protect the health of my grandsons, due to the personal history I have of (gestational) diabetes, but I also want to give them what grandmas are known for...cookies and treats. Every time I visit my three year old grandson Owen, he says "What snacks did you bring me, Grandma?"

I brought some last week that he, and his little brother, and his pregnant mom, couldn't get enough of. And after tomorrow's @chch_morninglive show I'll be taking them some more, after I show them to you!

Tune in to @chchtv on Thursday morning when I'm going to share some heart healthy and diabetes friendly ingredient filled recipes for treats that my grandsons love, and that are good for them. (And, they're vegan!)

8:55am, repeating at 9:55am

Years ago my friend @hmccartney18 created an amazing line of sun shirts called UV COUTURE. You can’t get them anymore but I have a collection and I love them! You can’t have them.

(You can see how well they work when you see how pasty I am underneath in the second shot.) I’m 60 this year so I need sun protection now more than ever. Thanks Heather!

Highly recommend hanging out with your mom’s 80 year old friends who say “You’re so young and pretty!”

(It’s why our 20-30yo daughters hang out with us because we say the same thing. And we all mean it.)
