Weeknight meals are a huge rush for us and now that I’m not working at home, and with Paul working late or traveling, we need some creative ideas to make healthy dinners in 15 minutes! I love the idea of batch cooking and even tried it a few times, but I can’t seem to find […] Read more…
Argh….where do I begin? Last night, I was appalled by Khloe’s blatant ignorance when she posted this lovely meme on her Instagram account. I couldn’t let it go. It went beyond ‘stupid celebrity’ status and hit me close to home. Very close, in fact. So close that I could see my husband and kids attack by […] Read more…
Toronto now has a Mayor that I had the pleasure of speaking with over two years ago! We had been invited, like other Patient Ambassadors, to be a featured family at the SickKids Radiothon hosted on 1010. The boys and I sat down during John Tory’s “shift” in the Atrium at the hospital and recounted […] Read more…
No words could really explain the whirlwind of amazing adventures that Kathryn and I experienced this past week. Having been named Target Canada’s VIP Mom for World Mastercard Canada Fashion Week came with more privileges and pampering than I could have ever dreamed and a chance to escape reality for just a few days!

The secret is out! If you can believe it, this amazing adventure started with a simple critique on Twitter, to Target Canada. Something along the lines of…“More empty shelves at @TargetCanada, I have faith that you will figure this out soon #hopeful”. Target loved that I had faith in them and took this as a challenge […] Read more…
I was inspired by a baked pancake muffin photo that I saw on Facebook and realized that as much as the kids LOVE pancakes, we just don’t have time for them on busy school mornings. Using a one-ingredient pancake mix (yup, out of the box), we made these amazing mini chocolate chip pancake muffins this […] Read more…
I’ve admitted that I’m a Kardashian watcher and that I have a love/hate relationship with Kimye, but this time, Kanye has crossed the line. In a recent concert in Sydney, Australia, with his wife and daughter in the audience, Kanye not once, but TWICE, singled out a person with a disability. Not standing to salute […] Read more…
The other night I was watching the Emmys and so thrilled that my fave show of all time, ‘Breaking Bad‘ had yet again swept the awards with their wins. I can’t totally articulate why I love that series so much, but I do know that it’s due in part to the fact that they cast […] Read more…
I’ve always been hugely supportive of charitable initiatives and fundraising for several important causes that have impacted our own family, so when the ALS Ice Bucket Challenges (#ALSIceBucketChallenge) started showing up in my feed last week, I needed and wanted to learn more about both the disease and the fundraising plans. As more and more […] Read more…
For my birthday, I was so excited to get a new bike! I had always been the one to push the stroller with Zack or walk Roxy while my other boys enjoyed a “family bike ride” without me! I’ve secretly been jealous and really excited to get back on a bike after…oh, about 25 years! […] Read more…
