Mercy: Can you share a little bit about yourself?
Madison: Absolutely! I was born in Kelowna, British Columbia, but I grew up in a place called Prince George. I played sports basically my whole life - baseball in the summer, hockey in the winter, and when I was older I played both year round. I even threw in a year of football when I was in the 11th grade. But once sports came to an end I was looking for a path to pursue and my mom suggested I give acting a try. Acting was something I always wanted to do but it never seemed like an option where I was from. I wish I could go back and talk to a young Madison and tell him that it was.

Mercy: What started your interest in acting?
Madison: TV and movies were always such a big part of my life and my family's life in general. Some of our greatest memories include watching TV or movies together and discussing them after. That love for entertainment fueled my passion for acting and it felt like the perfect option. Just goes to show how well your mom really knows you.

Mercy: Can you tell us a little bit about White Before Christmas? Any bts stories you can share?
Madison: Well I’m proud to say that White Before Christmas is my first Hallmark Christmas movie! I’ve been doing Hallmark projects for a long time but it’s nice to finally get a chance to be part of the holiday season. I really enjoyed reading the script. It was nice for Hallmark to do a “Love Actually” type movie that followed a few different interconnecting storylines and I think we pulled it off great! As for behind the scenes, it’s generally well-known that Hallmark movies for the Christmas season are filmed in the summer. Which means that we filmed our snowball fight in the middle of summer, but we used real snow! The funniest part was in order to stop the snow from melting into the ground they put on a large tarp and as it melted the water became a giant pool. Our director Pat decided to have a little bit of fun with me and by the time the scene was over and we had gotten all the shots we needed he decided to have me to fall backwards as if I got hit by a snowball into the giant pool! It wasn’t until afterwards I found out that the shot was for nothing but to see me get extremely wet.

Madison: Nothing I can share at the moment but if people stay up to date with me on IMDb there may be an announcement soon!

Mercy: If your life was a movie what would the title be?
Madison: The title would be “ Golden Retriever Stuck in a Man’s Body”

Mercy: What is the most rewarding aspect of being an actor?
Madison: The fans! Especially on a network like Hallmark. Everyone is just so overjoyed to watch and it’s beyond amazing to be a part of that experience.

Christmas Question Time!

Mercy: Favorite Christmas tradition/memory?
Madison: Christmas in general is just my favorite. My family is extremely close, and as my brother and I have started expanding our families the Christmas season just gets better and better with more people coming together to celebrate.

Mercy: Favorite Christmas movie?
Madison: It’s a three-way tie between Elf, Christmas Vacation, and The Grinch starring Jim Carrey.

Mercy: Favorite Christmas song?
Madison: Anything by my fellow Canadian Michael Bublé.

Mercy: Must-have Christmas food?
Madison: Apologies, this is the toughest questions. So I refuse to answer. Because I love all food equally!

Mercy: White or green Christmas?
Madison: It changes year-to-year. Some of my favourite Christmases are in a winter wonderland and some of them are in somewhere tropical like Hawaii.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
