Music is a great passion of mine, I love to listen to it and I enjoy many varied forms.  When I was younger I did not have a lot of exposure to it though, only what my parents listen to as we did not have all these fancy devices that my kids have today. I remember having a variety show of sorts in Grade One and we did a cover of this song which was my favourite at the time.   What was your favourite music growing up?

Picking a favourite book character is like picking a favourite child.  It's not really possible,  I love them all so much.  However, when I first read this the first character to pop into my mind was Cara, from the Sword of Truth series.  I love the Mordsith, they have been through hell and back and they find the inner strength to keep going, that's powerful. Cara comes  out as a favourite above the other Mordsith probably just because she is more prominent in the series but they all hold a special place in my heart as the character type resonates strongly.   What is your favourite book character?

If this had come up just a few weeks ago it would have been hard, I am a huge animated movie fan so there are so, so many that I love but that was for we finally got out to see Moana.  We had not seen it due to scheduling with the kids and I was super excited that it was still playing in the theaters. Moana is really my kind of girl, she sets off on an adventure to save her home and her family.  She is brave and loving and my gosh..that hair!  It is a great, great movie. I cannot stop singing the songs from this movie.  I mean, the movie is fantastic and we loved it and have already added it to our movie collection but the music.  So much more.  I am how my daughter was a few years ag...

I am not an overly romantic person so I am sure that there is tons of stuff that Mike does that other girls would swoon over and I'm like meh whatever.  I know...I have been wracking my brain for a moment for this post and most of the things I came up with I personally did not find all the romantic. My favourite romantic moments are the ones where he does the little things like rearrange his schedule to take Ace to the orthodontist so that I don't have to kill myself trying to figure it out.  Or make me steak after we just went to a restaurant because I hated my meal.  (that was a really good steak)  Or watch The Princess Bride for the 400th time because I...

This is another hard one for me.  I love books.  Reading takes up a huge chunk of my free time.  My children were helping attempt to organize my bookshelves last week and they pointed out that I have multiple copies of some books.  This is because they have different covers and sometimes when you are reading a long running series you are so excited to read the book you buy whatever one they have but then have to go back and buy the one that matches the ones you actually own.  Or am I the only one who does that??? I am a huge fan of simple book covers, and my favourite book covers was actually for a book series that I loathed.  Which is hard to say because I read so few books that I dislike...

This is a tough one for me, I have many, many great childhood memories.  I grew up in a small town in Nova Scotia surrounded by relatives and close family friends and I got to roam free in a way that kids do not get to today.  Picking a single favourite memory is difficult. One I think stands out for me above all others though, mostly because it is one of the few clear memories I have of the golden time before my sister was born when I was an only child.  (I think I was 3 or 4) We had a cabin out in the woods and we used to go there on weekends as people do but on the way in next to the road there was a giant anthill (well at least giant to the very small child that I was) and I was quite young and extre...

My favourite holiday is Halloween.  I love dressing up and seeing the kids so excited to go out and interact with the community.  I love making up little packages to give out. I wear two costumes at least every year.  One for work and one to take the kids out trick or treating. I also love to see the house that really go all out decorating for Halloween.
