Taking 1 Billion Steps with Olympian Joannie Rochette

July 9, 2014 by Sonya Leave a Comment

Summer time can present a bit of a challenge when it comes to exercising. With the kids being out of school for a couple of months I don't feel the need to rush around as I do the rest of the year.

Come Monday morning, I am beginning the Whole30 journey. I have dabbled in the Paleo diet this past year and have been feeling the need for a deep reset in my eating habits and approach to food.

A Juice Recipe to Kick-start the New Year!

January 2, 2014 by Sonya Leave a Comment

I don't know about you but I've had a few too many sugar cookies over the holidays. I've also had a few too many plates of leftover stuffing and a few too many croissants. Don't forget about all the cocktails and whatnot. But no regrets. We've all indulged a bit and that's okay. But now, my body is … [Read more...]

Being Girl…and Having “The Talk”

October 18, 2013 by Jennifer 3 Comments

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...]

What To Do About That Stinky Gym Bag!

September 30, 2013 by Sonya 3 Comments

I've got a very sensitive nose and that gym bag... you know? It doesn't matter what sport. I don't need to say anymore, right? When it comes to sweat, and especially sporty boys, that smell in that gym bag is downright nasty. You need to keep on top of it and air it out as much as possible. Even … [Read more...]

Paleo Update

August 20, 2013 by Amanda 2 Comments

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...]

May 28, 2013 by Sonya Leave a Comment

With kids around having "cuddle time" is not always so "spur of the moment" anymore. As a parent, one must ensure that the kiddies are in their deepest time of their sleep cycle. But we all know how important it is to make time for your partner, right? I recently had a chance to interview Dr. … [Read more...]
