When my husband and I went to New Zealand, one of the things on our “bucket” list was ZORBing (the sport of globe riding)*. I’ve seen it on the Amazing Race (my favourite reality TV show) and I just had to try it out for myself. Being an adrenalin junky, I couldn’t wait to get […]
My 16 month old son is a bully
It didn’t really hit me until last month. I’d seen this behaviour show it’s ugly little face before, but I never thought it was a persistent problem. It only hit me during our last playdate when we basically scared my friend and her son away*. I immediately messaged my husband at work and said “I […]
The start and end to my skydiving career
I should start off by clarifying that skydiving was never a career for me (sigh), but it was a passion of mine for a few years of my life. Being an adventure seeker for as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to skydive. I looked into it and quickly learned that I had […]

30 (+) days challenge heading into Spring break
We leave for Hawaii in just over a month (March 7th to be exact) and I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve been in a bit of a work-out ‘rut’ lately. I’ve just had no desire or motivation to do anything. With Kyle becoming a Toddler, working out during the day is mostly out of the question […]

I thought this was a great idea, and decided to contribute to her blog with details (sparing anything gross) about Kyle’s […]
Continue to travel with kids!
Growing up my parents were really big into traveling, and I got the “bug”. Travelling definitely tops my list of “hobbies”. When we had Kyle, I was excited to continue traveling like we always had, plus baby! We’ve been very fortunate to travel a bunch since the birth of our son Kyle. The first “trip” […]
Clothes swap for a good cause
Two months before the holidays, I was putting clothes away in my closet when I almost fell over. I was pushing and squeezing new sweaters on to the rack when I realized that my closet was full of clothes that I haven’t worn in over two years. Granted, I was pregnant for one of those years, but […]
The best group I ever joined
One of the best things that I did with Kyle his first year was joining a mom’s group. We came together as each one of us knew one person, who knew another, and so on, until there were 8 of us (some months later, a few other mom’s joined as well). The youngest (my son […]
