I Love Toyota. LOVE.


So, I'm a car guy.

I buy stupid, obscure, obnoxious, loud, unique, hardly drivable cars ... and I love it.

Not many people understand this obsession with fast, loud, stiff riding cars that are so low they're almost impossible to get in and out of a driveway. Thankfully, We also have a Toyota.

How does my significant other Emily other deal with this hobby? Toyota.

We've ALWAYS had a Toyota Camry to drive every day, and we've loved every minute of it. This is our reliable daily driver that gets us to work, through the snow, to friends, family, camping, road trips, and continues to do so (unbelievably) reliably at 321,328km's!!! It's great on fuel, safe, and basically a part of our family at this point. Emily loves that car more than me ... I'm almost sure of it.

How does a 'car guy' not replace a car that has 321,000km's? Because it still drives like it's brand new, has never let us down, and has paid for itself 20 times over.

What will I buy once it eventually starts to well ... stop? Another Toyota. I've never been so loyal to a brand, and I am with Toyota for all of the right reasons. Price, fuel mileage, options, and just the way a Toyota drives. Nothing compares.

Come check one out today and save a TON! Up to $6000 with 0% financing and the vehicle with the 'Best cost of ownership' of ANY car!

12 Expert Mom Tips!

If there is a hole, they will put something in it.


Sometimes you will want to throw your child out the window and take the next bus to Anywhere He Is Not. This is normal.



Always carry a Ziploc bag with you.

If your friend has a great nanny or babysitter, ask first before you approach her to work for you.


The first year of having an infant is often the worst year of your marital life. You may hate your husband, his friends, his family, his employer, his habits, and every single other thing about him. Therefore, not a great time to make major marital decisions



Scotch tape entertains infants for long periods of time.

When you are starting to get annoyed with your child, sing what you want to say instead of yelling. You may both end up laughing.

Carry a pad of paper and a pen; if forced to sit and wait anywhere, you can entertain the kids or let them draw.

Gift wrap anything you bring on a trip to amuse a child, even things that are not new. Unwrapping will kill time as well as get a kid more excited to play with whatever is inside the fancy paper.


When your child, big or little, throws a tantrum or gets angry, remember that anger is sadness masked and try to get to the bottom of the sadness rather than just punishing its symptoms.

Never ask a question to which you do not want to know the answer.


The days are long and the years are short.

Actors That HATE Their Movies!


Kate Winslet is none too pleased about seeing her then-21-year-old self in 3D.

The down-to-earth actress says she's horrified by her nude scenes, haunted by Titanic jokes and wants to vomit every time she hears Celine Dion's ballad 'My Heart Will Go On.' We're getting the impression that Winslet isn't a fan of her big screen appearance.


Megan Fox, ever the sensational soundbite, was quick to criticize Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for its focus on special effects and not acting. 'I don't want to blow smoke up people's a**. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting,' she told Entertainment Weekly. On The Early Show, she wondered, 'I don't know how you saw it in IMAX without having a brain aneurysm or at least a migraine headache. I'm in the movie... and I still didn't know what was happening.'


Even Halle Berry couldn't make Catwoman (a.k.a. 'CINO' or 'Catwoman In Name Only' as the hardcore DC fans like to call it) look good; but at least she accepted her flop of a flick in good spirit. Winner of four Razzies for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and Worst Actress, Berry accepted her Razzie in person with an acceptance speech that held nothing back: 'First of all, I want to thank Warner Brothers. Thank you for putting me in this... god-awful movie. It was just what my career needed.' Her statement was received with massive applause and cat calls.


Shia LaBeouf may sometimes lack a verbal filter, but many of us would agree with his attack on the fourth Indiana Jones movie. In fact, the movie was so bad that it yielded a brand new synonym for 'jumping the shark.' 'Nuking the fridge' was coined after the scene where Indy survives a nuclear blast by hiding in a refrigerator. Flexing his mouthpiece, LaBeouf spoke out: 'I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished. . . We [Harrison Ford and LaBeouf] had major discussions. He wasn't happy with it either.'


It was only recently that George Clooney really opened up about the cinematic abomination known as Batman & Robin a.k.a the worst Batman movie ever. After previously making a few short, sharp digs at the Joel Schumacher-directed movie ('I think we might have killed the franchise'), Clooney didn't hold back any punches during press for The Ides Of March: '[Batman & Robin] was a difficult film to be good in. With hindsight it's easy to look back at this and go, 'Woah, that was really s*** and I was really bad in it,'' he told reporters in September 2011.

Social ... Gazumping?

Social gazumping is new social phenomena:

We are willing to drop friends and family for a better social life
A new trend has emerged. The act of ‘social gazumping’ – letting down your friends, family or work mates in favor of a better offer is becoming more and more popular among busy working Britons according to new research, commissioned by lastminute.com.

Meet the gazumpers:

This emerging trend is just one of the findings from the ‘Living Life at the Last Minute’ report by lastminute.com, which revealed that nearly half of people admit to cancelling on someone at the drop of a hat when a better offer presents itself. What’s more, two thirds of those who cancel plans are guilty of being ‘socialiars’ - lying about our new plans in order to get out of a prior social engagement.

You’ve been gazumped:

Colleagues are most likely to be ‘gazumped’ as 4 out of 10 of those that cancel plans for a better offer admit to cancelling on work mates. Almost a quarter admit to ditching parents or in-laws in favour of a better offer whilst almost one in ten admit to dumping friends and family for a date.
‘Planned spontaneity’ popular amongst Britons
When planning our social lives, a quarter of us like to keep all or most of our evenings free at the beginning of the week, with as many going as far as to set aside time for spontaneous, last minute activity at least once a week.
In addition, a sixth of people prefer to leave making weekend plans until the day before or on the day. Women tend to be more organised when it comes to their social lives than men; the majority of women keep a record of social engagements whilst less than two thirds of men do so.

A nation of ‘serial socialisers’:

Living life in the fast lane means that our attitudes to making plans are changing. One in seven of people are being dubbed ‘serial socialisers’ as they have chosen to cram 2 or 3 events into just one night for the fear of letting someone down.

TV psychologist, Dr Linda Papadopoulos comments, “Social gazumping and serial socialising are reflections of a number of human traits; a fear of missing out on the fun, guilt associated with saying no to invitations and a selfish desire to spend our precious time doing exactly what we want. Ultimately, the feeling that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence is also a very powerful catalyst. Our preference to leaving gaps in our social plans so that we can act spontaneously is linked to our sense of adventure – having less build up before social events often adds to the excitement factor on the night. We may live in recessionary times but social currency is strong.”

Mark Maddock, Managing Director for lastminute.com UK and Ireland says, “At lastminute.com we have seen people become more impulsive as they are likely to take up fun activities and make new plans nearer the time. It seems at once a product of the fast-paced nature of our lives but also the fact that we are much more socially mobile. There are also some fantastic deals to be had by holding off on plans, from theatre seats to city breaks and restaurant bookings, which means that those of us who wait to make decisions at the last minute don’t have to be penalised financially.”
