OF BATHWATER AND PORTABLE RADIOS As I’m writing this, it’s December 23, 2017, Christmas Eve-Eve, one of my favourite days of the year. Most years, I’m putting the finishing touches on Christmas, have wrapped and shopped and baked to my heart’s content and am ready to sit back and enjoy the lights. This year is no different from the past few. I’ve shopped, I’ve wrapped, I’ve baked and the house is all warm and cozy. Except, this year is the first year I’m making Christmas for our daughter and things are so very different from last year. I’ve burnt cookies that I forgot to set the timer for because I got distracted with how cute she looks in the glow of the Christmas lights. I’ve been to the store more times than I can count because she didn’t want to shop any longer one day, so we made another (several) trips. Wrapping was interesting too as I kept stopping to play with or take care of Emma and would misplace the tape by her playpen. This morning, I had the music playing

and the lights twinkling on the tree as I got into my last “pre-Christmas-get-readyfor-company” clean. Then I smelled a foul odour coming from Emma’s diaper and decided an early bath may be in order. So I left my bathtub half-clean to fill hers. As we’re in the middle of fighting over whether or not both little hands need cleaned I started to feel a strange, damp, feeling around my feet. Thinking Emma must have splashed some water out of the tub during our wash cloth tug-of-war I was prepared to ignore the dampness until my feet got really wet about the same time I heard what sounded like a small waterfall. I forgot to put the plug in Emma’s tub and the water had slowly (or not so slowly judging from the water pooling on the floor around my feet) been seeping out of the tub and onto my table. As I hurried to fix the plug I told myself “everything is fine, I wanted to mop anyway”. Then I moved a towel to sop up some of the mess and realized there was a small river flowing into Kevin’s work bag. And the panic begins to set in- not only is Emma’s bath water on the table, dripping onto the floor and seeping into my mat it’s also seeping into the bag where Kevin keeps his fire radio and all his important papers. I had a half-washed infant and a potentially fatally washed portable radio, not to mention what else of import could be in the bag. Who decided I should be left in charge? Where is an adult when you need one? Then, with a laugh (‘cause you might as well laugh as cry), I remembered that I put me in charge and I am the adult. So I put on my metaphorical big girl undies, took a deep breath finished bath time, saved the radio and reminded myself the floor needed washed anyways. Oh, Christmas with a child, totally unpredictable yet completely wonderful. I am so looking forward to the changes this year shall bring. 0001

DESIGNS FOR REAL LIFE ISLAND LIVING As the snowflakes fall and the chill in the air gets colder, do you find yourself daydreaming of warm memories for you and your family on a beautiful island? Well I have just the answer for you, skip the flight and enjoy Island Living year round. Have you heard the saying that “everything happens at the island” or perhaps this one: “no matter where the party is, the east coasters always flock to the kitchen island”? Both are very true. A kitchen island can be better than a one week vacay. It can solve your hair pulling storage problems or it can get you away from rolling dough on the tiny, dark countertop space by the sink. Space limited? An island can be made into custom sizes. Long and narrow, square shaped or angled. We can make any style. There are also three common heights; Bar Height 42”; Table Height 30” and, the most popular, Counter
Height 36”. Most prefer one level and 36”height. Your island will be the same counter height as the rest of the kitchen and your prep space is a large even surface without restriction. In some cases there are ways to gain space by adding an island. Maybe your stove or dishwasher is taking room in a space by itself and it could become part of your island. The tall microwave cabinet can go and we can build the microwave into the island. The kitchen table that barely gets used can leave and you can create an island with seating for a breakfast for two, four, six and more. A kitchen designer can design an island in your room that will be the right size and fill the needs you have. In new construction the trend is the bigger the island, the better. The upper and lower cabinets themselves are getting fewer and clients prefer to maximize the area that will get
the most use. You can have fun with a new island by making it an accent color. This also makes it easier if you want to add an island but not change your whole kitchen. Maintenance Free Quartz Countertops are a great way to finish off your island with a show stopping surface that will give a tired kitchen an instant Wow factor. So mix up some Mojitos, crank the heat and start thinking if Island Living is for you. 0048

We are living in an age where technology is a large part of our everyday lives.

In order to promote the development of speech and language, children need to be exposed to it. Children need to be talked to and need to be listened to. This is how they learn new vocabulary, how to form a proper sentence and how to produce speech sounds properly. The only way that we learn things is to be exposed to them. If an adult is constantly on their phone or tablet, children are not being exposed to adult speech and language models as much as they could be. Helping your child build language can be done on a daily basis. Talk to your children every day. Find out what they did that day and really listen to them. Language is so important in our everyday

lives. We need to make sure that our children can communicate effectively. Leave your phone and tablet alone for a while. There will be plenty of time for that after your children are in bed! When your child says something, respond and add more. For example, if your child says, “I like apples”, you can respond with “Me too. I like apples that are crisp and juicy”. Always give them more language so they can learn. Play with your children. Pretend play, such as dress up, restaurant, playing with dolls, etc., is a wonderful way to encourage language development. Imagination is a wonderful thing and will promote language development. Speech and language development begins as soon as the child is born. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Let’s make sure that they have the skills and knowledge to lead us. Let’s not let our children down.

Spotlight On...
Brenda, Anne & Natasha Big changes have happened in 2017: Moffett's Hardware celebrated 95 years in business; long time employee and store owner Donald Moffett passed away after a battle with cancer; and Garry Singer a faithful employee of over thirty years, retired. As a result Moffetts has had to make changes to continue their success. Store owners, Brenda (Don's wife) and Anne Moffett (Dave's wife), are pleased to announce that Natasha Moffett is the new store manager and Tina Miller is the new assistant manager. Brenda and Anne would also like to welcome Brian Jonah, Allen Arsenault, and Tiffany Davis to the Moffett's Hardware team. One aspect that hasn't changed is that they can still count on the expertise of Ralph Paris. Moffett's Hardware is still an old
fashioned hardware store where customer service is a priority. Moffett's still carries the same types of stock and continues to “stay with the times” and introduce new, interesting and innovative products; and where possible, locally made too. Did you know that Moffett's will sell a part box of products, including batteries and light bulbs. They even sell screws by the piece, pound, or by the box. Despite the rumors Moffett's continue to carry firearms and a wide range of ammunition. Moffett's Hardware has seen the changes from horse drawn carriages to automobiles becoming the norm; They always strive to stay current, which has brought on the use of their Facebook page and a new website, coming this April. The owners & staff of Moffett's Hardware wish to thank their loyal customers for supporting them through this difficult year of coping and learning. “Without our customers, we would be where we are today”. Moffett's appreciates the feedback they receive from their customers such as the recommendation to add hand rails to their front step, which were put into place this past fall. Natasha said “If you are happy tell everyone, if you are not tell us”. Family owned and operated Since 1922. Sterling - Dave - Don - Anne Brenda - Natasha. 0051

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE TFSA FACTS – WILL IT WORK FOR YOU? The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) has become a very popular personal savings vehicle. And with good reason: Who doesn’t like the idea of tax-free savings growth? In fact, the TFSA has been called the most important savings option since the 1950’s launch of Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs). If you haven’t already hopped on board the TFSA savings wagon, you may be asking yourself these questions: Is a TFSA really that good? Should I have one? Will it work for me? Good questions – here are the answers. How does a TFSA work?. Every Canadian over the age of 18 is eligible to save in a TFSA and the investments held within the TFSA grow on a taxfree basis. TFSA withdrawals can be made at any time for any reason – and the withdrawn money is tax-free. The value of the TFSA eligible investments is increased by making the most of all available contribution room. For
example, you can contribute the annual maximum plus the total of withdrawals made in the previous year, and all the contribution room you don’t use right away accumulates year after year so you can fill it anytime you choose. It’s important to know that contributions to investments held in a TFSA do not affect RRSP contribution room. TFSAs provide investment flexibility. TFSA-eligible investments are virtually the same as those available for investments held within RRSPs, including mutual funds and money market funds, Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs), publicly traded securities, and government and corporate bonds. How a TFSA works for you. A TFSA is a worthwhile investment option for almost every income-earning or retired Canadian because it works so well for both short- and long-term financial goals like these; providing an immediate source of emergency funds; saving for
just about anything – from a new car or cottage to a dream vacation; saving for the down payment on a new home or even starting a business; reducing taxes on your non-registered investments; adding to your retirement savings. By the way, TFSA withdrawals don’t affect eligibility for such income-tested benefits as Old Age Security (OAS) or splitting income with your spouse to minimize taxes. To explore these and the many other ways a TFSA can work for you, and to make sure you’ll always get the most from all the elements in your financial plan, talk to your professional 0036 advisor.

UNFILTERED LOW CALORIE DRINKS With the holiday season now behind us many are feeling the tightness of our waistbands. If you, like me, have overindulged over the last month or two, the New Year is the time to get back on track. While many folks may choose to cut out carbs, sugar, dairy, alcohol, and every other fun thing that we love, I say: ‘No Way’. Deprivation is not my thing as I believe it leads to us wanting to indulge even more, so rather than punish ourselves, we can simply choose to make better choices. Do we need to completely abstain from alcohol in order to lose weight? Absolutely not. The calorie count in alcoholic beverages is attributed to the alcohol (1 gram of alcohol contains 7 calories) and the sugar and or carbs. Different types of alcohol have different calorie counts. For example: a 12 ounce serving of your average beer contains 150+ calories, a 4 ounce glass of dry red wine contains 100 to 120 calories whereas a 4 ounce glass
of dry white wine contains about 90 calories. White wines have fewer calories because they generally have a lower alcohol content. You average dry spirit with an ABV of 40% contains about 95 calories. Port, Sherry and other high sugar/high alcohol drinks can be 300 calories or more. So when deciding which beverage to choose to keep you in line with your goals, here are a few things to keep in mind; choose light beer over regular beer. Opt for a light, dry white wine instead of the big bold red. And stay away from those high calorie, sweet cocktails. Try to stick with low calorie mixers such as club soda, green tea, lemonade, lemon or lime juices, and tomato juice. A dry martini, or vodka & soda water are great options. Dry Sparkling wines are also low in calories. You may have also noticed a few low-calorie wines that are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, however if you look closely at the label you will see that they are simply
low alcohol and may contain artificial sweeteners. A better option is to choose a nice dry wine that you typically enjoy, and turn it into a spritzer by adding dry fruit juice, club soda and fruit. This is also a great option for flavoured vodkas. It is also a great idea to choose some healthy snacks in advance in order to avoid reaching for those salty, sweet and high fat options. So instead of January being a month of deprivation (until we break all our New Year’s resolutions) we should instead embrace it with the intention of ‘Everything in 0042 Moderation’.

Shining The Light On Our Fellow Readers
NEW YEAR, NEW HOPE Lifelong Hampton resident Joe Bovaird is looking forward to a brighter 2018 as he continues to recover from a rare brainstem stroke (Locked-In Syndrome). The stroke in October of 2016 was devastating for Joe, an avid golfer who walked every morning and spent time outside with his grandson, Huxley. Left paralyzed and unable to speak, Joe held onto hope. Progressing from being completely immobile, able to communicate solely by blinking his eyes, Joe began to move his left baby finger. In January, 2017 he left the hospital for the Stan Cassidy Rehabilitation Centre in Fredericton, an amazing facility that has provided him with hope and support through their many rehabilitation programs. Despite setbacks, Joe persevered and is now able to stand for short stretches,
eat a few tablespoons of food daily and speak more clearly. He is working on walking and getting stronger every day. He remains focused on the miracle of rebuilding his life and, as a high note to his year, Joe celebrated Christmas in his own home instead of a hospital bed. Joe has accepted that life will never be the same and instead has embraced a new life, one filled with those most important to him, the small wonders of love and laughter. Joe and his family are overwhelmed by the generosity of his community, from kind words to kind deeds, from donations to visits. He is especially thankful to his wife Pat and daughter Amy, who worked tirelessly to make sure he got the care he needed and continue to support him on his road to recovery. Special thank yous go to Norrad Chrysler in Sussex, the KV Old Boys, the Lion's Club, Hampton Pharmasave, the Knights of Columbus and the people of Hampton and Sussex who have been so wonderful. 0051
