Be assured that this is not being written from the driver’s seat of my vehicle at red lights and slow cruises during the morning commute. Boring as it may sound, I am writing this on my laptop, at my desk, in my home office. Like I said, boring. But it’s safe. Texting and driving has [...]
Since moving to a bit more of a rural setting with 3 acres just over 5 years ago, I’ve been experimenting more with different types of gardening. I love the growing season after our long and dark winters and get really excited about the colours and smells the garden brings each growing season. I know [...]

Last week in the suburbs of Toronto, a woman came up to my mom and said “you people, go back to where you came from”. My mom defended herself. She shouldn’t have had to but she did – But I am a Canadian. But I am a tax payer. But I give back to the [...]
Under the Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP), you and your spouse can withdraw up to $25,000 from an RRSP to buy or build a home. The HBP withdrawal limits were increased to $25,000 from $20,000 as part of the 2009 Budget. Unlike regular withdrawals from an RRSP, withdrawals that meet all applicable HBP conditions do not [...]
I have to admit that I am really not one to put on antiperspirant on a daily basis, but will on special occasions such as weddings or family parties. I did notice that I only have a tendency to take care of my skin, especially my face, and apply lotions and care products for my [...]
My last post was on how to perform a diastasis check and if you found out you have a diastasis, strengthening your deep core is very important. There are a lot of muscles that are comprised of the deep core but one of the main ones is the Transverse Abdominus. Strengthening the Transverse or TVA, [...]
If there was a secret to better health, easier weight control, more energy, more restful sleep, and better mood would you want to know it? What if you could also have relief from stress, stronger muscles and bones and reduced heartburn, anxiety, constipation, depression, while also preventing diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer?

I first prepared this recipe last year around this time after investigating whether or not barbecued spaghetti was even possible. While my quick online search revealed plenty of barbecue-flavoured spaghetti recipes, none of the spaghetti recipes in question were actually cooked on the barbecue. So, I decided to come up with my own recipe for [...]
I think I will kick this blog off with a bang and share my number one trick for getting my kids to eat any type of protein. My son, who is 11, has always hated chicken breast. No matter how I prepare it he complains like crazy. It’s too dry! It’s too tough! It’s too [...]
I purchase Philadelphia cream cheese at least twice a month to prepare my favourite nacho dip and to eat with a bagel. When I went grocery shopping last week to purchase it, I noticed that Kraft Philadelphia came out with a new spread: the Chocolate Philly. It must be good, since I went to purchase [...]
Ever wonder what dreams are all about? Are they real, a fragment of the imagination or simply a part of one nocturne life. Dreams can be prophetic, funny, scary at times especially to a young child. Children dream as often as adults; parents will encounter a morning conversation full of details and with all the [...]

I love mornings, which is odd because growing up I hated them. I used to be a total night owl and dreaded the sunrise. My snooze button, ironically, worked serious overtime!! I could not speak, or force a smile, until well after a morning shower and a hot cup of tea. This is fact. Something [...]

Toddlers dance like no one is watching. Or maybe they dance like everyone’s watching. Either way, they all seem to have the same signature moves. Oh, the spinning. Spinning until you run into your friend, the couch, the wall or the floor. Then repeat. How can that not put you in a good mood?

Newborns are sweet. They sleep peacefully — we hope! — they eat all the time and they mostly just lie flat on their backs. Tummy time is the simple act of putting your baby on her tummy. This can be done from birth and is a great way to help avoid a flat head, but [...]
