Wine, women & song. And reading. And smart money.

Wine, women & song. And reading. And smart money.

That's the theme this week on #GoToGrandma.

Acclaimed wine expert @nataliemacleanwine joins me to talk about the best wines to serve at your holiday dinner, your cocktail party, or to gift. Some great and surprising choices.

Music educator @cynthiakinnunen tells us about the power of music education and how family group lessons have bonded her students. She also schools me on how to correctly pronounce ukulele.

The head of Kobo Audiobooks talks e-readers...because their latest offering, the @kobobooks Sage, allows you to listen to audiobooks on it! You can also use the Kobo Stylus to make notes on your e-reader.

Our #Take5WithRBC series continues with a look at @mydohapp and it's creator. A smart card to help your grandkids learn about money management - assign chores, pay into their account, track their spending - I love this! @rbc

Tune in Saturday morning December 4th at 7:30am on @zoomer_radio 740AM, 96.7FM (Toronto) or online zoomerradio.ca Episode drops in podcast on Tuesday!

Pretty sure I had a snowsuit like this in the 70s. Or maybe 80s. Anyway I love it! My very stylish grandson Owen (courtesy of his mom @toryhalpin )

This kid. My kid. Started hockey at the age of 5.

This kid. My kid. Started hockey at the age of 5. Was known to say “I love the smell of an arena” by age 6.

Played house league, rep girls, only girl on a boys team, and then for McMaster Club team against AA women’s teams. Just always wanted to play hockey. Hours at the neighbourhood rink, birthday parties at arenas. Then covid. Killed the last year of their university playing.

They are 22 now. Found the Women’s Hockey Club of Toronto and loving it. My first time watching them play tonight. Only 3 spectators allowed per team. Vaccine certificates shown, masks on…game on. So good.

(Yes those are their @mcmasterwhky socks)

"More than the clothes we wear, style is about the

"More than the clothes we wear, style is about the way we move through the world". @thejeannebeker says that at the start of her podcast "Beyond Style Matters." She and I get into those annoying "What not to wear after 50" and how we can define our own personal style. Such a positive influence - I loved chatting with her. She'll share her favourite accessories as trends as well.

@joseyvogels got my producer excited when she came in studio, as she had read all of Josey's "My Messy Bedroom" columns years ago. Josey and I co-hosted a tv show called "Birth Days" 15 years ago...and today she's a successful real estate agent in Niagara Falls @coldwellbanker . She shares valuable tips on downsizing the family home - the whys, hows, whens, for both selling and buying.

When I read @sstoller13 's @washingtonpost article "The Pandemic Has Exacerbated The Transformation Of Grandparenthood", I knew I had to talk to her about this. She tells us about the evolution of the role of grandparenting, and how Covid has affected it.

If you are a caregiver, or hire caregivers, you're going to want to hear about @rbc Ventures' new app @careeasy_ as part of our #Take5WithRBC series. I talk to VP of Retirement Strategy Rick Lowes about this "online family table" app to help coordinate the care of your loved one.

Fun and facts - it's what we're all about on #GoToGrandma.

Tune in to @zoomer_radio tomorrow, Saturday Nov 27th at 7:30am to hear these great interviews. AM740 or 96.7FM (Toronto), or listen online at zoomerradio.ca

It'll drop on the podcast on Tuesday.

Grandma’s like to have fun too, right? Check out these great gift ideas for the grandparent in your life.

As we get older, we appreciate the fine things in life. One thing I appreciate is high qualify chocolates made by world class chocolatiers. Galerie au Chocolat is based in Montreal, with chocolates prepared by local chocolatiers in small batches using classic techniques. Their Fairtrade line features chocolates with ethically sourced ingredients from around the world, certified fairtrade and organic. Their Artisan line consists of a variety of indulgent chocolates available in white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate.

Have the grandkids over for dinner but not sure to make for dinner? When I have my vegan grandson over I love serving up GA Pizza. Plant based for him, cheesy goodness for me. GA Pizza launched the first subscription based pizza service in 2020, so you’ll always have some on hand for those last minute drop ins or scheduled family dinners. Perfect for holiday events. Each GA Pizza is built on with naturally leavened dough, made of 00 flour and topped with premium ingredients, including locally sourced cheeses. GA Pizza delivers flash-frozen pizzas directly to the recipient, whenever they want it. No wrapping required. Gift service also available.

Baking cookies is a signature Grandma move. And Cuisipro believes that the table where you eat is also the table where you connect. Their practical design, reliable quality and clever innovation will never let you down when you’re in the kitchen with your grandkids, or preparing a meal for the whole family. You’ll always have the perfect tool for scooping out cookie dough, to storing your baked treasures in an environmental way afterwards.

Looking for ways to keep the grandkids active inside on those cold winter days? @TekyGoOfficial Is the very first gaming console designed for kids six and under that combines educational learning with active play. TekyGo! Is described as a cross between Peloton and Sesame Street for kids. The TekyGo! Portal is filled with games designed and created to be compatible with any children's approved trampoline.

I joke that with my radio show I’m Johnny Fever (announcer/host), Bailey Quarters (accounting) and Herb Tarlek (sales) all rolled into one. I am now also apparently Les Nessman as I currently have 4 bandaids on various parts of me (Les always did, without explanation). #WKRP

So my pal @AnnetteHamm injured her arm and can now only do lower body & cardio workouts. I broke a toe yesterday so now I’ve got only the upper body/abs workouts.
