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 […]
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 […]
How we’re providing our son with extra support this school year
I’ll be the first to admit that John and I are pretty easygoing about our children’s education. Of course we want our kids to try their hardest and succeed, but we know that each of our children’s styles of learning and needs differ. While both Kyle and Ryan are excelling in math, their reading and […]
Healthy kid-approved snacks with siggi’s Icelandic Skyr yogurt
It’s back-to-school…. the time when most parents rejoice and kids sulk. I’m sort of in the middle. I enjoy the routine because it gives me more time to train and work, but I hate the morning rush. Speaking of being rushed… I find it’s not always easy to prepare balanced lunches and snacks for the […]
What I pack for my picky eaters for their school lunch & snacks
Are your kids part of the picky eaters club? It’s a thing… seriously! Luckily, my oldest has outgrown it (can I get an AMEN!), but my younger two kids are as picky as can be, which makes preparing school lunches and snacks a challenge. Fortunately, I’ve found five different meal ideas that I can rotate […]
