Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Posted on May 22, 2015 by boydsmom • Leave a comment

I love softball.     The crack of the bat. The sound of the ball hitting the leather glove. Sitting in the stands, laughing with the other parents- cheering on our sons. I love “swing batter batter swing batter”.  I love the warm summer breeze. I love the general slowness of the game. But… I hate … Continue reading →

I Chose Beer and Chocolate

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post called The New Before. I was full of energy and optimism. I had big goals and a solid plan on how I was going to achieve them.  Some of my goals- I wanted to run a sub-30minute 5k at Osgoode’s The Goode Run and I wanted … Continue reading →

The Big Fight

I was in a big fight yesterday.  It was with myself.  It was during my run.  I’m not sure there was a winner.  I sort of fell off my P90X wagon about 2 weeks ago. I was loving P90X! I still love P90X! But sometimes, life gets in the way. It was my birthday on … Continue reading →

The New Before

Sometimes life throws you a curveball- it’s what we do with that ball that makes all the difference. Well, my curveball- I got dumped. There isn’t an Alanis Morristette or Taylor Swift song for this kind of breakup- I just went through a huge friend breakup.  I was pretty bummed. I was pretty shocked. And … Continue reading →

“Normal” Heathy Food

I have eaten some weird things this year. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined eating a pudding made with chia seeds and liking it; or lentil tacos; or kale salad; or quinoa patties; and so on and so on. I have tried a lot of new and different food since starting … Continue reading →

My Mom, Food and Sharing

Posted on March 29, 2015 by boydsmom • 1 Comment

I think food has magical properties. It has the power to bring people together. Food is used to celebrate special occasions and sooth people during times of sadness. My mom taught me this. Most of my childhood memories can be linked to food. My mom cooked and baked a lot. She was the mom who … Continue reading →

Memories of the Breakfast Drive Thru

Posted on March 18, 2015 by boydsmom • 10 Comments

I love breakfast! It’s always been my hands down favourite meal of the day. Some days I’ve actually had breakfast for all three meals! In fact, my birthday is coming up and I think I’d rather go out for breakfast than dinner.  My favourite breakfast meal has always been the simple breakfast sandwich. I love … Continue reading →

I have taken many approaches trying to get my kids to eat clean. Sometimes I explain the value of the food we are eating, sometimes I dare them to try something new, sometimes I even LIE to them lol! The most effective approach seems to be getting them involved…
