I did something this evening that I have thought about doing for a very long time (8 years long!) and have been too afraid/lazy to actually do. Up until 8 years ago, I used to run. As in, go out for a jog. One of those days, all those... Read more
This is something I have been grappling with for a while now. I have known that it was a move I wanted to make but, for some reason, I just took a while to make it. I finally took action 10 days ago and hope to never look back. My kids... Read more
I am a happy person by nature. I feel lucky that I am able to see the good in most people and most situations and I think that really contributes to the sense of happiness that I experience daily. Having said that, life isn’t all-good, all-the-time. We all have our... Read more

Before Portia was born, I felt slightly overwhelmed with all the baby items that were available to us (and there are SO many more out there now, 5 years later!). I have friends who are starting their family now and I get asked often, “What do I absolutely NEED... Read more
That is a question I’ve asked myself a lot over the past year… I have been blessed with 2 amazing daughters. Portia , age 4, is both strong-willed and acutely sensitive. Madeleine, age 2, finds humour in anything and everything- she just wants to laugh! When Portia was a... Read more
