Hair and teeth are better now…I think?

Next up on my series of Hidden Gems, profiling notable Canadian women for @journeywoman_original , it's my pal @dawnchubai , as she reveals the gems in Vancouver, her adopted home town.

Find out what draws Dawn back, again and again, and her advice for traveling women to this city.

(I love Vancouver also - I lived there from 1989-1992 and my oldest was born there:)

No foolin – I'll be on @globaledmonton Monday morn

No foolin - I'll be on @globaledmonton Monday morning (April 1st) at 6:40am (MDT) with @erinchalmers

Did you grow up playing board games? I did, and my kids did...and now it's such a joy to introduce them to my grandkids. 10 month Sloane isn't quite ready for it yet, but my grandsons Cam (almost 3) and Owen (4) are into it!

Of course we started with Candyland, but I have a lot more up my sleeve (and in my cupboard) to share with them.

Why board games? The benefits are huge. Along with improved cognitive function (math, spelling, understanding, comprehension), they're developing social skills (taking turns, manners, interaction), and getting to use those developing tactile motor skills as they move their players around the board.

And guess what? These are the very skills we need to keep working on as we get older, so grandparents playing board games are getting the same benefits.

I'll share my favourites and where to start and how to age adjust the games as you go along.

Tune in to Global Edmonton - unless you're too busy putting cups of water on top of doors...(my dad did that).
