For those of you who have been following my posts (thank-you), you know that I participated in the Warrior-Dash recently. Before embarking on this crazy obstacle race, I trained. My training included a cardio workout of running two or three times a week and also hitting Fitwall for some strength training. Fitwall is a great full-body exercise that […]

Sizes according to toddlers
My son recently gave my husband and I a lesson on sizes and for those who want a refresher, here it is: SMALL – a baby MEDIUM – mommy (aka “me” – I’m so happy he said medium and not large) BIG – Daddy & Kyle (aka – said Toddler giving the lesson) HUGE – toy dump […]
Get Snackbox – A Yummy Giveaway (open to Canadians)
My family and I love food and the fastest route from food to mouth is always the best. That is why you’ll often find us snacking. Snacks are fast and easy to satisfy our cravings. Our snacking cupboard (yes, we have a few shelves dedicated just for snacks, don’t judge) is now laden with food options for all age […]

When I received the chance to attend the Shrine Circus during their Toronto stop, I jumped at the opportunity. The circus didn’t disappoint and […]
It’s 15 years later…. do you know where your high-school friends are?
It’s been 15 years since I graduated high-school (yes, I just gave away my age) and I often wonder about my high-school friends. While I’m still “friends” with most of them on Facebook, I only hang-out with two of them regularly. Technically, just one friend since the other I met when I was in high-school, […]
Stay With Me. A light-hearted play for kids about a parent’s separation anxiety. Now playing in Toronto
When it comes to separation anxiety, my son is king. I mostly attribute it to the fact that I’m such an amazing mother! (sarcasm is obvious when written right?). Actually, I attribute it to the fact that I’m a stay-at-home-mom. My son doesn’t know anything else. While we do go to a lot (emphasize A LOT) of […]
