I know the difference between an excavator, a loader and a backhoe. I can spot a construction vehicle anywhere. I can drum “The Mighty Machines” theme song perfectly. I also know (off by heart) the names and drivers of all the major Monster Trucks. I would cheer with my son as Maximum Destruction would beat … Continue reading
I haven’t blogged in over a month! It’s “scandalous “! Actually it is literally a scandal…. I’ve developed a little Scandal addiction on Netflix. Anytime I’m on my iPad, I’m watching Scandal and not blogging! I’ve been pretty committed to Olivia Pope and Fitz- blowing through 4 seasons in record time. I’ve noticed that about … Continue reading
Braceface. Train tracks. Metal mouth. This will describe my son tomorrow. He is getting his braces on- 18 months of no bubble gum, corn on the cob or toffee. It also means no popcorn! In honour of his last night of a metal free mouth, I made homemade popcorn! I made an old favourite (and … Continue reading
Every morning, as I snuggle in my bed, under the warm quilt my Mom made me, I plan my healthy breakfast. I think Green Protein Smoothie or musli and fresh fruit but then I pull back the covers and realize how FLIPPIN’ COLD IT IS IN HERE! Maybe your husband is like my husband and … Continue reading
Confession: I am not happy all the time. Good thing too, I believe if you are happy all the time you are actually considered crazy! I think I’m happy more often than not but other emotions are important too. I took my kids to see Disney/Pixar’s movie Inside Out. Have you seen it? It’s … Continue reading
Have you ever gone somewhere that you’ve never been to before- relying on someone else’s directions? Now I’m talking about really good directions! Not following Google Map or the GPS (mine likes to get me to turn as soon as possible- even if it’s faster to turn later). I’m talking about those really great directions … Continue reading
6 Monday mornings I have “started back on Clean Eating” then 4 Tuesday afternoons and 2 Monday evenings (that was fast) I was “off Clean Eating”! Can you relate? Lately, I’ve been all “gung ho” Monday morning- drinking my green smoothie, packing my kale salad into my lunch bag then something happens and I find … Continue reading
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
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
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
