We all probably know at least one family with a child who has been diagnosed with ADHD. Friends I know are determined to find ways to cope on a daily basis and, if possible, with minimal or no meds. This year, HotDocs, The Canadian Documentary Film Festival, includes the world premiere of FREE THE … [Read more...]

Hungry For Change

February 22, 2013 by Amanda

I just watched this documentary and it made me want to hide in a closet, shut out the real world with all of its toxic processed food, rock back and forth to the soothing rhythm of my industrial juicer and sip on some freshly pressed kale juice for the rest of my life. Totally a realistic life … [Read more...]

Use It or Lose It…and other heart healthy tips!

February 22, 2013 by Sonya

It's been a month full of hearts. February reminds us not only to love others but also to love ourselves. But as moms, we often put our health and well-being at the bottom of the care list.

Four full weeks on Weight Watchers. Reflecting, this is what I see: Week One:  I was very eager. Totally onboard.

Tween Girls & Body Image: A Weighty Issue

January 30, 2013 by Jen

I have a 10 year-old daughter. If you know her or read my blog regularly you will know that she is not a typical tween girl. For example, today she wore a hockey jersey to school. Her wardrobe consists of what is comfortable (sweatpants) and what is sports related. This is a girl who when asked … [Read more...]

A Tough Pill To Swallow

January 29, 2013 by Amanda

I have many vitamins.Many vitamins that sit, untouched, on my messy bathroom shelves until they expire. I don't know what it is, but I cannot bring myself to become a routine vitamin-swallower (totally a word). My iron level is at an all-time low, and I've got a bottle of iron supplements RIGHT … [Read more...]

This is not a resolution.

January 21, 2013 by Jen

I know there is a whole anti-New Year's resolution movement happening but this isn't about that. I am fine with resolutions. Being forced to reflect and make plans to be and do better seems OK to me. I have made resolutions, some successfully and some not-so-much but I definitely see the value in … [Read more...]

Intentions 2013

January 8, 2013 by Christine

Happy New Year!  Each year I make a list of intentions. Not resolutions. Intentions. That way I have an out if I don't meet the goal. I fully intended to but...

Taking the plunge at the new Body Blitz Spa!

November 26, 2012 by Sonya

I see the signs. Just passed the design district on King East in an industrial looking complex. The streetcar driver immediately sees my eyes light up and says "looks like someone is going to have a nice afternoon!" as he nods with smile my way. I do a bit of a hop and a skip off the vehicle and … [Read more...]

I got a little JUICY! Time for a Juice Cleanse & Detox

November 8, 2012 by Sonya

So, confession time..how well do you eat? I mean really? I can go on about my day noshing on a bag of popcorn and a few cups of tea (maybe a coffee). Then, at night I'm either eating with the family or out at an event of some sort where food is a plenty. Hard to resist those sliders and mini cake … [Read more...]
