I get it… life is busy. If there is anyone that can understand that, it’s me. Just this weekend alone put me to the test. Three kids playing ball hockey at three different times on both Saturday and Sunday, three birthday parties, swimming lessons and that was just the kid stuff! John and I somehow […]
How to help your loved ones in times of need
About four years ago, a friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer. I, like most people, felt lost on how to assist her. I wanted to do something but felt helpless. Her closest friends rallied around her by organizing a meal train for her family. Knowing that the hardest days would be the days […]
If you run, you should be doing this regularly
Now that it’s spring, running season is in full swing. Most of us will be heading outdoors and while running outside is definitely more enjoyable, hitting the pavement isn’t always so easy on our bodies. Especially if you tend to pick up your pace and distance once you start running outdoors like I do. So […]
Why my boys can’t wait to go back to soccer camp at True North Sports camp
It’s almost summer and figuring out what to do with my boys for 10 weeks is a little daunting. On one hand, I want them to enjoy the freedom that comes with summer time. No school, no schedule and less rules. However, I also know that they will drive me crazy if they just stay […]

My Staycation Survival Tip
This post was sponsored by SkiptheDishes. The views and opinions expressed in this blog, however, are purely my own. Oh March Break… You’re only a week long but I have so many feelings about you. In the past, we would typically go away over March Break (usually on a ski trip). This year, we decided […]
Introduction to plant-based eating for meat eaters
Before we get started, I wanted to say that this post isn’t about being a meat (fish, eggs and dairy) eater vs. not! It’s a post about eating healthier. Only you can decide what to do with this information. There is zero judgement here. I am not a vegan and I have eaten meat, eggs, […]
The trouble with older siblings
Kyle was in grade 1 when my perfectly sheltered and innocent son came home ‘changed.’ You see, he learned a new word at school that day. A swear word to be exact. While I knew this day would eventually happen, I didn’t realize it would happen when he was just 6 years old. After some […]
The year of putting myself first – here’s what I learned!
As I sit here to type my thoughts about this past year, I actually can’t believe it’s been a year. Sadly, I can’t remember to ever committing to anything this longer (other than my marriage and kids). So… where to start? The beginning is always a good place to start (name that movie anyone?). So […]
