Nature lover
Editor's Note - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 2:28 PM

Growing a gardener
Your Life - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 2:25 PM
Have your kids ever wondered where all the fruits and vegetables in your local grocery store come from? What about how farmers get carrots so crunchy, tomatoes so juicy and sweet peas so sweet? Well, kids with a curiosity for gardening are in luck! Every Friday in July and August, kids are invited to come to Billings Estate National Historic Site to learn how to grow and dig up yummy vegetables through the museum’s ‘Cultivating the Past’ series.

Fight aging and diabetes with coffee
Your Life - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 1:37 PM
“Would you like another cup of coffee?” the waiter asks. Most likely you’ll say “yes” and then wonder if you’re drinking too much “o’Joe” for your health.

Improve your health, quit smoking!
Your Life - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 1:34 PM
Even longtime smokers know that lighting up is bad for your health. What fewer people understand, however, is just how quickly you can begin to reverse the damage caused by cigarettes when you quit.

Pulling a fast one
Your Life - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 1:31 PM
Chris Ball is a trickster, all right. The 19 year old from Cochrane, Alta., has a bag full of tricks and stunts — all of them amazing, all of them dangerous.

Shades of summer
Your Life - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 1:25 PM
A relaxed approach to style is one of the joys of summer for days on the patio, vacations and weekend getaways.

Boating basics
Your Life - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 12:55 PM
Before getting underway, there are several checks you should make, depending on the voyage you plan.

Lower-calorie bbq food and drink pairings
Your Life - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 2:26 PM
Barbecues are as much a part of a Canadian summer as long weekends and sharing your favourite beverage with family and friends.

Decking out your backyard
Ottawa Homes - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 2:24 PM
After being cooped up most of the winter, it’s no wonder Canadians are keen to invest so much energy – and expense – turning their yards into outdoor living rooms.

Plan your work, work your plan
Ottawa Homes - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 2:20 PM
Going to the grocery store without a list – especially if you’re hungry – is inadvisable, according to both financial and nutritional experts.

Screening out the burglars
Ottawa Homes - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 2:18 PM

Toilet fixture tips
Ottawa Homes - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 2:13 PM
Did you know that of all your household fixtures, your toilet uses the most water, accounting for about 30% of indoor water use? Before 1980, many toilets used 20 litres of water per flush, then 13-litre “water saver” toilets arrived in the early ’90s, and by 1996, the Ontario Building Code required six-litre toilets in all new homes.

Weeder of the pack
Ottawa Homes - 7/29/2010 Updated @ 2:09 PM
Summer entertaining should be outdoorsy, casual and barefoot, right? Well, I invited six relatives to come stay for a week.
