Posted at 09:29h in Health & Wellness

13 Feb My Irongirl

Posted at 11:48h in Family

30 Jan My Olympic Idea

Posted at 14:53h in Health & Wellness

My first real memory of the Olympics was in 1988 when I was 8 years old. Canada was hosting that year so my first introduction came when they were running through PEI with the torch. In case you don't remember or weren't born yet, this...

22 Jan Joy and Gratitude – the perfect pair

Posted at 10:53h in Health & Wellness

I was listening to a podcast the other day that talked about how joy and gratitude go hand in hand. Today, as I sit here typing this, I am (so gratefully) feeling both. This morning at 5:30 am, I taught my 100th class for reset:breathe...

23 Nov My Favourite Mornings

Posted at 21:46h in Health & Wellness

Setting goals are so important when we want to start making (or maintain) healthy habits in our lives. When we don’t have something to work towards it can be much more difficult to get where we want to be if we haven’t even really figured out...

30 Oct The power behind a team

Posted at 15:21h in Health & Wellness

It’s so funny how after being back home for one hour from a weekend away you feel like you never left. When you become a mom and get home from vacation, there is no such thing as easing back in. You come in the door...

30 Sep My time makes our time better

Posted at 14:44h in Family

There really should be a billboard on every highway saying Attn: Moms- “YOU are doing GREAT- give yourself a break today!” Honestly, I know that sounds totally ridiculous, but how many million of moms out there need to hear that? I know I do, pretty...
