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 […]
Looking for a new and exciting workout? Fitwall is great for strength training #vertically

How much sleep does my baby ACTUALLY need??
What’s the favourite topic de jour amongst new moms? SLEEP or rather, lack of it. We all want to know how long each other’s babies slept for and if there are any “tricks” that we can apply. What we wouldn’t do to get one night of uninterrupted sleep!! Whether it’s your first, second or fifth child, we can […]
Five tips for brushing your kids’ teeth
It seems that along with sleep issues, the other problem that a lot parents of infants and toddlers struggle with is teeth brushing.
