When I first read My Post Baby Body is Ruining My Marriage on Babble yesterday, I was all "YEAH GIRL, I HEAR YOU." But then I was, like, NO. I have done some thinking since 36 hours ago and have come to some conclusions. My ideal body is 30 pounds lighter and six inches taller and has … [Read more...]
Chickpea and Pepper Salad
First this happened: I'm at the Farmer's market and purchase some garlic scapes and fresh peas. Not because I needed them but because they just looked so pretty. Garlic scapes are the green stalks of garlic plants. The next day this happened: Husband calls me while I'm finishing my run. "What … [Read more...]
Twinsies!
"It was a Granny-Panty not-so-teeny navy polka dot bikini That she wore for the first time this year." Summer is here and the beach don't mind your cellulite! Get in the water and make the most of it! … [Read more...]
Pick That Up
Have you ever thought about how much stuff you pick up in the course of a day? I never thought much about it; it's just something you do day in and day out. I guess cleaning up after your kids should come as no surprise. You don't hear too many kids suggesting they put away their dinner plate before … [Read more...]
Weight Watchers – Goals Met and Lessons Learned
This time it was going to be different. When I began my journey with Weight Watchers my intent was to lose 15lbs. At the time it was a daunting task. I was focused and determined to stay on track but I also knew that I could be easily distracted and derailed. This time it was going to be … [Read more...]
App Spotlight: The Scientific 7 Minute Workout.

I've tried all sorts of things from working out at home with Tai Bo DVDs, joining pilates and yoga classes, personal trainers and going with my hubby to the gym. Other than walking (a lot) nothing inspires me to move ...other than a good sale. … [Read more...]
Free Wheelin’
This was the other thing we picked up on our recent jaunt to Toys R Us. Only, it's not for the children. This one is for me. You might know I've been riding Oliver's scooter in the house (and around town) for the past couple of years, and though many of the neighbourhood children own one just … [Read more...]
The Finishers
This weekend our two older girls ran their first road race. It was 5.4 km and they both ran the whole time. Avelyn came sprinting across the finish line like a gazelle. Then I saw Steve round the last corner, holding Karenna's hand. I could see from a distance that her face was grimaced in … [Read more...]
Life’s a pitch
Several months ago Cuyler announced that he was going to play soccer this summer. I told him that would be fun, thinking he would move off of that idea after a few days. He's not a sporty kid. Nor is he much of a team player - he's more of a solitary guy. In fact, he's never played a sport - team or … [Read more...]
what do you do when you feel like crap?
I am told I ask a lot of questions. I am naturally inquisitive with a voracious curiousity that would likely kill all 9 lives in a cat, but I also love to learn and I learn by excavating. Furthermore, this excavating leads to connection and human connection is a basic and enormous need for me (well … [Read more...]
