I know they are a tad cliche, but for years I have been wanting a nest necklace with three eggs to remind me of my girls. I ordered one off Esty a couple years ago but it ended up being a scam (who scams on ETSY?!) but finally decided to just go ahead and place another order with a … [Read more...]
The Motherload Is Not Just A Mommy Issue
Remember the article in the Atlantic "Why Women Still Can't Have It All" -- it caused a tidal wave of discussion. Has society has stalled on the ideals of motherhood? We're suppose to be there for work and our families. We're suppose to find time for ourselves and have the support around us. I … [Read more...]
Hard Kids
If you think you are a good parent, chances are you have an easy kid. I liken parenting to one's metabolism. There are some people out there who hit the metabolism jackpot and can eat their weight in poutine, never exercise and still manage to easily slip into their size two jeans. There are … [Read more...]
Suddenly Mommy!
There's a funny stage play that's happening this week in Toronto that many of us moms can probably relate to. Suddenly Mommy is a one woman show staring Anne Marie Scheffler (Comedy Network, Second City, Spank! Just for Laughs). Written with support from Emmy Award winning SNL veteran Rosie … [Read more...]
Underthings: What Women Want Post Pregnancy
When I'm out and about, I like to seek out (or stumble upon) hidden gems. I'm not sure if it's my upbringing to go for the less obvious. Case in point? During Fashion Week, I was invited to attend the Toronto Fashion Incubator's Press and Industry Brunch where there was the opportunity to meet with … [Read more...]

Everyone told me "the days are long but the years are short" but I didn't really believe them. Turns out they weren't … [Read more...]
Inspiring Moms and Their Role Model Daughters
Last week I had the honour of meeting the Canadian Women's Hockey Team in person. I was invited by P&G's Bounty to be a part of a sponsored dinner for these talented athletes where their mothers had flown in to surprise their daughters the night before the big game against the U.S. Celebrating … [Read more...]
The Right Age to Start a Family
How old were you when you had your first baby? I was 30. Back in the day that would have been considered old, but in todays standards it's really young. When I was off on mat leave with L'il E I met a great group of women who became my mummy friends. We talked about our first-time babies and … [Read more...]
This is MY Picture
Have you guys read this amazing blog yet - The Mom Stays In the Picture? I loved every word. She's talking about how there are no picture of her with her kids and how this needs to be more of a priority, regardless of how she feels about her own appearance. I saw the author, Allison Tate, on the … [Read more...]
Rock On
She fell asleep in my arms tonight for the first time in ages. She's three now, so too busy for cuddles with her momma most of the time. But today she was fighting a bit of a flu bug and was extra clingy and I scooped her up into my lap and we sat in the gliding rocking chair and swished back and … [Read more...]
