This year, HotDocs, The Canadian Documentary Film Festival, includes the world premiere of FREE THE … [Read more...]
Hungry For Change
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!
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.

Tween Girls & Body Image: A Weighty Issue
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.

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.
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...]

Taking the plunge at the new Body Blitz Spa!
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
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...]
