Recently Sonya wrote about a great app that helps you track your own period. This app is being well used by teen girls to help them monitor and track their periods in the early days, but wouldn't it be great if there was an app that could sit your daughter down and teach her everything she needs to … [Read more...]
Labour Day is the New New Year’s Day (The Final Chapter – With Video)
I have written a few blogs about how I treat Labour Day like it’s New Year's Day. Ya know, back from vacation, back to school and back to reality. It’s a great time to exercise more and eat and drink less. Well, let’s just say I had the best of intentions but I’m easily swayed. Have a look at this … [Read more...]
Living with Eczema: Liam’s Story
For the past few months, I've been telling you all about my experience with the thermal water and products of La Roche-Posay. But now I think it's time you heard from someone else. I'd like to introduce you to Colette. In July, she travelled with her husband, her daughter, and her son, Liam, to La … [Read more...]
PMS: Pre-Menstrual (p)SYCHO
I can tell it's here when my eyes prick with tears while listening to some dumb song on the radio. Or how when my husband gets a bad case of the hiccups and instead of laughing I want to punch him in the neck. Or when my kids are fighting and in 0.3 seconds my blood begins to boil and I yell louder … [Read more...]
Parental Pride

Some days I am proud of my boys for actually rolling out of bed and onto the floor, the step-one of getting ready for school, even if there are 23 other steps to get them ready to scoot out the door. Other times, deeper times, like Hud demanding to say … [Read more...]
La Roche Posay, Part Two
I know it sounds nuts, but even though I returned from France two months ago, I still keep thinking and talking about my experience at La Roche Posay. Just the other day, for example, my cousin said she'd heard I went there and wanted to hear all about it. I could have told her about the spectacular … [Read more...]

Top 10 Terry Fox Facts, Figures & Accomplishments
We started a new feature on Derringer in the Morning called “List-o-Mania”. It’s a top 10 list of anything and everything under the sun. With the Terry Fox run happening on Sunday I thought it would be appropriate to come up a top 10 list for Terry Fox. I received a few emails from people that … [Read more...]
Exercise, I Hate You.
It's no secret. I've never enjoyed you in the classic sense, Exercise. And it's not me - it's you. Some people are of the idea that there's a gain with pain. When it comes to just about all things, my motto is: No pain? No pain. I much prefer pleasure. I'm a bit of a hedonist, you know. *sips … [Read more...]
APP of the Week: Period Tracker
So, this is life. We're busy women with families, volunteering in the schools, shuffling the kids to lessons and many of us depend on our mobile devices to keep us in touch and on track. If there's one thing I can't live without it would be my mobile device. It does everything these days and it has … [Read more...]
