I know that everyone has New Year resolutions but that is so yesterday, or should I say… so 9 months ago. I can’t tell you how many times I‘ve said, “This is my year; this is the year I eat better, drink less and exercise.” Inevitably by January 6th I’m back to my old ways and knee deep in powdered … [Read more...]

La Roche-Posay: The Fountain of Youth?
Have you ever heard of the long-fabled Fountain of Youth? I think I may have found it...but instead of it being in Florida, like Ponce de Leon proclaimed, this one is in a small village in central France called La Roche-Posay. Last month, I had the privilege of visiting this town in order to learn … [Read more...]
Paleo Update
So, after last week's post, musing about the possibility of trying the Paleo diet, I just kind of quietly went for it. I didn't have grandiose dreams of sticking with it for a month, or even a week, but just took it one day, one meal, at a time. I did it. And am still doing it. Here's what I … [Read more...]

Pondering Paleo
There are many things I swore I'd never be: anything but a stay-at-home mom, someone who likes to exercise at the crack of dawn, or a coffee snob. And yet, here I am. The things I used to think people were crazy for doing, I now do them. The final realm of Crazy for me has always been the Paleo … [Read more...]
Charity Running
Last year I had a wonderful experience running with other UrbanMoms for the Run for the Cure held every fall across Canada. Beyond the monies raised and the experience contributing to a worthwhile cause, this venture forced me to stick to a exercise program to ensure I could complete the five … [Read more...]
Almost August
I can't believe July is already behind us. This summer has been packed full thus far, but there are still four weeks to savour and enjoy and that is exactly what I plan to do! Howdy, August. May you trickle by us like molasses: slow, warm and thick. (OK, bad analogy; that sounds really … [Read more...]
It’s Like Water, But Better. It’s Sink-cola.
As a kid, when I asked my parents what we had to drink with dinner, more often than not, they replied with, "Sink-cola." Get it? Sink-cola. In other words, water. At the time, I was more than annoyed by this response, but in retrospect it was the right thing to do. To this day, I still mainly … [Read more...]
