When Kyle was younger, around 3 or 4 years old, he used to get a lot of red spots on his body. This usually happened around summertime. While he didn’t seem to be in a lot of pain at the time, as a first-time mom, I was worried. I wasn’t sure what it was, so […]
Empower your kids to take ownership of their safety
I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, we never wore helmets when we went skiing. Well, I guess we also didn’t have car seats and seat belts weren’t mandatory, but now I’m just aging myself. Either way, it’s really all so crazy when you think about it. I’m actually surprised, but […]
Hot apple cider recipe made with apple juice
While I would call myself a coffee drinker through and through, I always love a good cup of hot apple cider come Fall. The warmth, the scent and flavour awaken my senses and just make my day that much better. I especially love getting them when we visit a local farm or pumpkin patch. It’s […]
How to throw an affordable birthday party at home
I want you to close your eyes and think back to your childhood. Now try to remember some of the birthday parties you attended, whether they were yours or your friends. Think hard… where were most of those birthdays celebrated? I bet that the majority of them were at someone’s house, right? I know that’s […]
Four Natural Health Trends I Discovered with Healthier by Nature (plus a Giveaway)
Last weekend I was offered the opportunity to attend the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) trade show. An eye-opening show with over 1,000 natural and organic product vendors who are in the Canadian market. I was excited to go and learn as much as possible since I’m still in the early stages of my natural health […]
Want to save on your cell phone plan? Here’s how…
Feeling the financial burden after back-to-school? Between new clothes, school supplies, haircuts, shoes, and so-on, it can add up, right? I know we’re trying to tighten up our own spending over the next few months. If you’re feeling the same, read on…. For the past few months, I’ve been testing out Freedom Mobile’s wireless plans […]
Why my son loves using the Popular Book Company activity books
A few weeks ago I shared a post about providing Nathan with additional school support by getting him to use Popular Book Company activity books (you can read that post HERE). We aren’t really worried about his education progress (he’s only in senior kindergarten), but we know that he can benefit from some additional focus […]
What I Eat Before Race Day (aka: Carb Loading)
In the next month I have two big races: my first full marathon and the Dempster’s 10km Global Energy Run. I’ve been training for both for the past 3 months (but really, for 15 years). While getting time on my feet is important (sooo important), so are other factors including my diet, sleep, shoes and […]
Our Family Day trip to O’Hara Mill Homestead in Hastings County
For fifteen years now, we have taken the same roads and highways up to our cottage. We have done it so many times that we could probably do the drive with our eyes closed (but we won’t, don’t worry). The familiar roads and scenery is nice because it gives us an estimate of how close […]
We’re running the Global Energy Race by Dempster’s again! – September 22 in Toronto
Last year, Kyle did the most amazing thing. He ran 10km with me at the Global Energy Race by Dempster’s. Throughout the race, both spectators and other runners kept remarking how well he was doing and cheered him on. I have a feeling he was the youngest runner for the 10km run (he had just […]
