This July 1st, 2020, will present a very different Canada Day for us all.
From destination weddings to awkward family dinners, Mable can answer any questions on manners or etiquette you may have.
Wedding Gifts Dilemma!
Choosing the perfect gift can be, albeit an act of love, a trying task on its own. In what was, and still is, an expression of love and support, gift-giving can sometimes be a worrisome expectation.
Dining in Comfort
Let’s brush up a bit on what we need to be aware of as we interact with others outside our households.
“Outside is open”
As we continue to enjoy the “outside” within our communities, let us be aware and respectful of other people’s personal space.
Be Mindful of Cellphone Etiquette
Technology has helped to advance society; however, there is a time and a place for us to use our gadgets appropriately.

Doing the right thing is no accident
Their vehicle was in a parking lot, and there were no witnesses to the incident. I was appalled to learn, given the extent of the damage, that no one had come forward
Creating Comfort in the Service Industry
A smile or pleasant countenance goes a long way when working with the public. Our goal should be to practice civility, with everyone we come into contact with.
Etiquette during COVID crisis
This is the essence of etiquette. Specific practices that are widely accepted at one point in time may become unacceptable in another.
Bulk bin code, Please
Awareness is an important component of daily life. We all contribute to the daily sum of experiences for others and ourselves.

Six little bridesmaids and four pageboys, all under the age of 8. Princess Charlotte and Prince George were among them.
Forgetting names happens to everyone
When you have known someone for over 9 years, you would assume that they wouldn’t forget your name, right? Not necessarily.

For most, January is a month for reflection. A year is behind us, a year is ahead of us, and resolutions are more apt to be made.
