It was hard for me as an adult to change my eating habits. Changing my kids eating habits has been taxing, challenging, and just plain DIFFICULT! Some days are better than others. One particularly bad day happened at the local grocery store. My daughter actually burst into tears in the dairy section of the local … Continue reading
I think it is easier to lose 30lbs than to lose a negative body image. I would have thought the girl on the left would have more negative body thoughts than the girl on the right… BTW both girls are me 🙂 I had a really bad case of the “uglies” yesterday. I was super … Continue reading
Are you looking for the perfect time to make a change in your life? I was. It never came. There was always an excuse on why I couldn’t change my eating. That big party coming up, a family reunion, Valentine’s day, Christmas, summer….. Look at a calendar, I’m sure you would struggle to find 6 … Continue reading
August long weekend is cottage time for us. The minute I step foot in the cottage my “to do list” looks something like this: -nap -read 7yr old Cosmo and People magazines (a very amusing parenting article written by Billy Ray Cyrus on how he is raising Miley to be a good girl ha!) -swim … Continue reading

I remember one … Continue reading
I go to my exercise class pretty much everyday. The old “me” would have called me selfish. Spending that precious hour on myself instead of my kids would have been a very difficult thing for the old “me” to do. I am so glad I have changed. My kids are so glad that I have … Continue reading
Someone asked me if it has to be all or nothing with Clean Eating. At the beginning, it was ALL! I totally committed to this new way of eating. To be honest, my motives weren’t entirely pure. Sure I was interested in cutting out fake food, fake sweeteners, fake fats, but my main goal was … Continue reading
I LOVE COFFEE! Coffee makes me happy. I love to sit along with a hot coffee and some sort of a baked good and take some time for myself. Just sit and drink coffee. I was a Tim Hortons girl. I loved Tim Hortons. I remember when my kids were small I would drive the … Continue reading
Have you ever gone to a pot luck dinner and your friends either assume or hope that you will bring your signature dish? I have a friend who brings a layered taco dip to every party. If she doesn’t- well let’s just say it isn’t pretty. My signature dish was always pie. I love making … Continue reading
