Just ask anyone and they’ll agree - One of the best and worst things about summer is the smell of BBQ. It’s the best if the scent is coming from your BBQ, and the worst if it’s heading over the fence from your neighbours house and you don’t have an invitation to dinner.

There’s just something about BBQ that makes everyone want to don a fancy apron, grab their extra large spatula, and place him or herself in front of an outdoor grill. But this summer, there is one best BBQ accessory you’ll want to bring along into the backyard you might not have thought of before – Your smartphone.

Planning a wedding? Here are some tips on how to create the most effective Wedding Registry.

Every kitchen needs some fun appliances. Here are five products that add a dash of excitement to everyday meals or help you when you’re entertaining. They'll also save help you get healthy, save money and reduce waste.

Maybe you’re the bride or groom, and you’ve finally found the time to sit down and really think about your gift registry.

And with so many choices out there, the perfect wedding gift to start their newlywed life off in the right direction is simple to choose.

When I was a kid, there was only one outdoor toy that I really wanted, and I wanted it more than a pile of Barbies, more than Hot Wheels, and yes, I’m dating myself, more than the Atari and Intellivision video games I eventually settled for. Actually, to me, it wasn’t really a toy at all - It was a rip, roaring high-powered kiddie car that I could charge up and take off with on the road to anywhere.  If you wanted one too, you probably know I’m talking about Power Wheels.

So once I had kids, I did what any parent would do. I went out when my first was a toddler and picked up a Power Wheels. Was it worth the wait? Oh yeah.

I’ll admit, it took a long time for me to jump on the craft projects bandwagon. When the huge craft craze was full steam ahead and people everywhere were scrapbooking, heating up their glue guns, and painting terra cotta pots, I was blissfully unaware of anything and everything to do with craft activities.

But when easy crafts apps began to pop up on my ‘suggested apps’ lists, I had to take a second look. Maybe it was images of rustic signs created from barn wood, maybe it was the Modge Podge (which I still consider to be one of the funniest names ever for something that’s just so handy), but once I looked I was hooked. On crafts that is.

Blood pressure is an important indication of your health. High blood pressure makes the heart work too hard and the walls of the arteries hard, which increases the risk for heart disease and stroke.

After all, the two different types of protein, animal and vegetable, break down into various other categories. Animal proteins for example, include milk protein derivatives such as casein, whey, goat’s milk, and egg white protein. Vegetable proteins come from sources like rice, pea, hemp, and soy.

When I was in school, all the cool kids had built in soda fountains in their rec rooms. We’d all go over after school and mix, match, and drink different flavors until we were sick, and it’s probably fair to say that this was the beginning of my love affair with diet cola.

Pilgrims, cornucopias, and, well, more turkey. When it comes to Easter, the most prevalent associations tend to be bunnies, pastels, and oh-so-glorious sweets!
