Don’t worry its not December. It’s still 2014…. Although the ice is in the local arena and hockey has started. We walked Boyd down to play in the snow and we had a snowball fight. Winter is coming…. I have kids and I’m a teacher- double reasons why September is the start of a New … Continue reading

The Best Summer Ever
I had the best summer ever. No I didn’t go on an exciting trip. No I didn’t get a pool. No I didn’t get a puppy (Thank God!) No my house isn’t finished. But it was the best summer ever! I worked out. I worked out A LOT! I selfishly worked out almost everyday this … Continue reading
Eleven Year Old Pants
Have you ever bought an article of clothing like you were speculating on the stock market? I have. I once bought capris pants 2 whole sizes too small for me because I hoped they would someday fit. I think this is a woman thing. I can’t picture any man I know buying clothes for himself … Continue reading
Clean Eating Kids Part 2
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 in the meal preparation. My kids … Continue reading

Mom- Don’t Read This Blog Post(it’s about sex!)

Honestly my first thought wasn’t saying good bye to my favourite wine- it was “I’m never going to have sex again!” After a long tiring and stressful day, are you “in the mood”? After a glass (or two) … Continue reading
I scream!
Here is a big confession….. I still like McDonalds. I don’t eat McDonalds but I still like the taste of McDonalds and I kinda miss it. When I started clean eating, I was surprised how much I enjoyed the food I was eating. I love lentils and kale- weird- I really didn’t see that coming! … Continue reading
Smile and Say Ole!
Workout. Work + Out. What a stupid name. It sure doesn’t sound appealing. When I go to my workout class, I work hard but that doesn’t keep me going back. I go back because its FUN! The instructor is hilarious. The music is awesome. The ladies in the class are so nice. Maybe you are … Continue reading
Yo Mama Eats so Clean….
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
