Growing up there were two certainties about my daily meals. One was that we had soup every day. The second was that we ate chicken every day. With so much chicken in my diet, one could think that I would despise it as an adult. To the contrary, I still love it. So much so […]
How I’m taking back control of my health and wellness
If you’ve ever looked at my blog headings, you’ll notice that I have four main categories that I typically write about. They are: Parenting, Travel & Adventure, Wellness & Health, and Reviews & Giveaways. Except, one of these headings has been lacking content for the last few years. The last time I really put time […]
Celebrate Healthy Kids Day on April 29. Here’s where & how you can join in!
John and I have always been advocates of getting our kids their daily dose of exercise. We are always one of the last families to leave the school playground and we sign our kids up for extracurricular sports (of their choice) like hockey, baseball, soccer and ball hockey. When the weather doesn’t cooperate, we move […]
Kid Approved, Lactose-Free, Protein Pancakes
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always made pancakes one way – out of a box. You know, like the Aunt Jemima box that comes with the pancake powder? All you need to do is add water! YUP – easy peasy and it tasted good, so why mess with a good thing, right? […]
Putting the “I” in eye care!
If you ask a group of moms, most will quickly tell you that they don’t put enough time into self-care. As a mom myself, I can totally vouch for that. I think I’ve been meaning to book a massage for myself for almost a year now with no luck. It’s simple, our priorities are our […]
Monday Muffins – aka Dairy Free Pumpkin Muffins
We recently found out that Nate is Lactose Intolerant. Shortly after he turned 3 (in September), we noticed a few physical changes. Mainly, he was very gassy (from both ends) and his stomach always seemed to be bloated and hard. None of this actually bothered him though, so we didn’t think much of it at […]
No bake almond and chocolate chip granola bar
Something wonderful and amazing happened to me this past month… I started baking. In the past, I avoided baking like the plague. I was already not comfortable cooking in the kitchen (which I only did as a necessity for keeping my family alive), so baking seemed like a nuisance more than a must-have. But two […]
Keep your kids active in the winter with True North Sports Clinics
It is winter and frankly, all I want to do is hibernate. However, that’s not good. It’s not good for my health, my energy or for looking after my three kids. Luckily we live in a walking area so even on the coldest days, I try to get outside even if it’s just for a […]
Here’s an easy way to add more veggies to your diet
I don’t know about you, but I find that I struggle to eat enough fruit and vegetables throughout the day. I think part of it is that I don’t LOVE eating them. The ways that I do enjoy eating them (baked or steamed) takes up a lot of time to prepare. So while ideally I […]
Looking for a fun way to exercise? Jump on a Trampoline!
Every morning, when the boys wake up, the first thing that they want to do is head outside and jump on our Springfree Trampoline. For them, it’s all fun and games. I obviously don’t mind, although I’m a bit perplexed at how much energy they have the moment they get out of bed… but I […]
