Clean Eating: Tips to Get Started

Thu, 30 Oct 2014 13:57:07 +0000

I don’t know about you but I try to keep a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family. It’s not always easy and temptations abound. With three active and busy kids, it’s hard to always find the time to eat well and exercise, but I do try. I’m even more motivated now postpartum with my […]

Take 3 at 3 on World Spine Day & Giveaway (Canada) #straightenupcanada

Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:25:25 +0000

I’m not sure if it’s a female thing or a parent thing, but I suffer from back pain. I suffered from lower back pain as a teen and unfortunately, it’s persisted to show up into adulthood. Of course, three pregnancies, holding, carrying and breastfeeding three kids hasn’t helped either. I have to say that the worst […]

The best new thing since sliced bread? Stonemill Breads Now Contain Vitamin D

Mon, 07 Jul 2014 13:35:57 +0000

As a parent, it’s my duty to provide my kids with the best nutrition possible. At least while they’re still young and I’m able to make those decisions for them. I buy omega 3 eggs, lots of fruits, give them the vegetables they like (peas, sweet potatoes, avocado and cucumbers) and feed them fish once […]

Cheesy Broccoli Quinoa Recipe

Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:05:40 +0000

Typically when I have a guest post, I write a little blurb at the top, but my next guest writer already did that for me. That’s just how amazing she is. A lawyer by day, a chef and blogger at night, and mommy 24/7, Sarah amazes me. She also takes awesome pictures which makes me […]

Fisher-Price Bath & Body Giveaway (Canada)

Tue, 12 Nov 2013 00:35:07 +0000

Fisher-Price Bath and Body Products Our sons love bath-time. They practically leap into the bath as we get ready to put them in (that includes our 9 month old who can’t walk yet but who constantly tries to get in unassisted). Truly, what’s not to love? A bath is warm and filled with water that they can […]

Want to run a half marathon? You can do it!

Wed, 06 Nov 2013 15:59:48 +0000

21.1km… approximately the distance from my house to the zoo and to my favourite shopping mall. It’s also the distance of a half marathon. While I typically drive to the Zoo and the mall, on Sunday I ran the 21 K. It was my first half-marathon in four years. My first since having kids. Unlike my first […]

Finding a nutritious balance for your kids

Mon, 15 Oct 2012 14:00:55 +0000

If there’s one thing my husband and I don’t agree on (ya right… 1 thing), it is with regards to feeding our two-year old son. Our disagreement stems from years of being raised on different spectrums of food ideologies. Growing up, my school lunches consisted of mostly either Nutella on bread or sour cream and olives […]

Enjoying some Mom-ME time at Urban Foot & Wellness Clinic; Review and Giveaway

Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:33:22 +0000

Let’s be honest, with a high-energy two-year old in tow, and another on the way, I hardly have any ME time. And I don’t even mean alone time. I mean, I’m lucky if I am able to shower every morning and get out of the house without any food stains on my clothes. It’s no surprise […]

The Two Million Dollar Family

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:30:22 +0000

I’m always writing about some of the challenges that I’ve encountered to-date as a parent to one kid; now imagine four! Last week, my husband, son and I all flew to Edmonton to visit my brother and his family. They had just welcomed home their 4th child two weeks previously. It also happened to fall on the […]
