Christopher Plummer was born in Toronto but leaves behind a world-renowned career as an actor of stage and screen. While we mourn his death, he has left behind many great performances that will stand the test of time.

If someone inspired you, tell them. This business thang is hard. But nothing brightens your day like unsolicited praise. 😊

If you follow a social feed that uses slurs, inappropriate swearing and name calling in order to make their point, then do your soul a favour: unfollow them. Why let their anger and abuse into your day? No matter who they are. Do a Marie Kondo and tidy your feed.

Sometimes the path isn’t obvious and then logic comes into play. Lesson four from our Taako’s correspondence school is all about wizard logic. Checkout our experience and if we passed — spoiler, eventually. youtu.be/E1Wrxb7Yr2k #raisinggeeks #wizardtraining

We geeked out at the Storm Crow Manor, dining in their futuristic cyberpunk room and drinking Klingon blood wine. 🎲 Dungeon and Dragon fans will love the Dungeon Burger, built by the roll of a D20. You can see more youtu.be/iKYoVeWC_z8 🎲 #familytravel #geekgirl #d20

Have you done an escape room at home? How about with a MacGyver twist? MTK and I helped MacGyver avoid catastrophe at the factory in mission 3. Check it out youtu.be/yx6PAyGKR2Y #escaperoom

There’s more to being a wizard than knowing spells. In lesson 1 (orange feather) of our Taako’s correspondence school we worked on translation skills for Elven + Gnoll. Want to nourish your family’s inner wizard, checkout our lesson 1 experience youtu.be/-0Bj2U3P0ks

We started our Taako’s Correspondence School of Wizardry, Cantrips, and Other Magicks. The lesson on language has proven challenging as we decipher an Elven poem and a Gnoll saga. Next we use our new skills to solve a Gnoll riddle carved into a door. #raisinggeeks #wizardschool

South Dakota offered dramatic scenery changes, including the rock tunnels on Needles Highway. Corkscrews, pigtails and lookouts. Check our driving experience: youtu.be/ukBxvFarSN0 #familytravel #roadtrip #raisinggeeks

Though my kids are tweens/teens, we still get photos w/Santa. Especially love getting them when we travel. Can you think of a more Californian Christmas experience than visiting Santa at his airstream with the beach as the backdrop? 🎅🏼 #santaphotos #familytravel

I think every trip to the Wizarding World results in purchasing a chocolate frog (or two). But this prop replica from Hot Topic takes away the guilt of eating your souvenir when you get home. youtu.be/13TQcVuwc7A #geekgirl #familytravel #geektoys #harrypotter
