Warm Weather

Finally! It was so refreshing to once again have a breath of warm spring air in the city. I loved being outside today, taking in all the flowers, birds, and lots of butterflies! 

I'm a new transplant to the area so it was great to be able to walk around and see what my new 'hood has to offer. I had lots of visions of me and my BF enjoying picnic lunches this summer, strolls along Queen East and brunch at all the new (to me!) places in the area. 

I definitely…

The Tennessee Project

Hi Leslievillers!

I'm a project director for a theatre festival called The Tennessee Project. The project involves nine independent theatre companies who are performing seven shows of Tennessee Williams' one-acts in seven different neighbourhoods in Toronto in seven days. The plays rotate, so that there's a new play in every neighbourhood each night.

One of our neighbourhoods is Leslieville. We will be performing at the Curzon May…

CLEANING UP THE LANEWAYS IN LESLIEVILLE

Although the City of Toronto does nothing to clean the laneways and maintain them, I might be suggesting that this neighborhoud get together to start some of kind of activity to either upkeep, repair and maintain these areas which are quickly becoming eyesores.  Never mind the situation with dogs eating potential dangerous foods and dying, these laneways are extensions of the streets and our backyards.  I am amazed at the people feel that they can leave trash hanging around; fence doors…

Just wait here...

As I walk through the city of Toronto on a daily basis, I am still shocked to see how many people still tie their dogs up outside outside stores and leave them for a stretch of time. I'll admit to doing it up until last year when we had a series of dog-nappings in the city and my eyes were opened to the dangers. It was…

Kids Count Toronto

Hi all,



Many of you share my concern that the City is poised to cut a number of programs and services that affect children, including a number right here and in our community. The budget will be determined this month at a council meeting that starts on Jan 19th.



There is still time to impact these decisions.



If you are concerned, or want to learn more, please visit our website and sign our online petition. …

Making a Christmas turkey? These recipes are amazing!

Turkey in my family is traditional for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Unfortunately, it is also traditionally very dry.  Some of my family members just refuse to eat breast meat as a result.  Others load up on veggies and bread.  This Thanksgiving we were saved by a new brother in law who…

Now this is dangerous.  Shopcastr is a new Toronto website that features products from local businesses, arranged in an easy-to-see format like Pinterest.  Select your neighbourhood (I picked Leslieville, of course), and see some great items for sale from local vendors. Nathalie-Roze & Co, Timmie Doggie Outfitters, Little Peeps, Baby on the Hip, Atomic…

Small town/big city

When I started FITMOM 12 years ago I lacked community and felt like crap about myself. As a single mom I felt like an outsider. Once running FITMOM I came to learn that many women felt the same way I did even in happy marriages.  The truth is North American society lacks community. At risk of sounding like the poster child for people who like Leslieville I have to say again it is my little piece of heaven. I think I feel the need to talk about it because I hope it never changes but only gets…

Andrew's Carrot Cake

 

If you've never had the time to bake a cake from scratch, you might want to try making a carrot cake. Your measurements don't have to be perfect and it always comes out moist.  Best of all, it is as simple as adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and pouring the batter into a pan.  This…

Why you shouldn’t wait to treat your dog’s reactivity issues

Does your dog make an embarrassing display at the end of her leash? Does she bark, snark and lunge?

”Reactivity” and “Aggression” are generally misunderstood and misused.

Just because your dog is grumbly on leash, doesn’t mean she’s aggressive. There is an important difference between the two terms and it’s key to know this before labeling your dog.

Aggression is reactivity on a higher scale with the intent finally to injure if all the other communication…

Leslieville...home to this FITMOM

I had to start my Leslieville Blog by bragging about how much I love my new digs. I can do it here since more Leslievillers probably agree ( my friends from outside the hood are annoyed about hearing it ) .

 

A walk to the beach, the skateboard park,  the movies, the school. Could it be more convenient?

 

The truth is it is an active parents paradise.  While I have spent 20 of the last 22 years in Toronto I would get out and around the city. Since in Leslieville I…
