As those of you who read my blog know, my daughter is not a girlie-girl. She likes sports and skateboarding and spends most of her time trying to keep up with her nearly 9 year old brother and his friends. The truth is, I'm not an expert on girlie stuff either. I am a fool with make-up, I can't … [Read more...]
Entrepreneurship and Regrets
Even though I'm just entering my second year as an entrepreneur, I am already finding I'm kicking myself over things I wish I had done differently. Things that could have saved money, saved time, or saved me a bit of my ever-diminishing sanity. I decided to approach some fellow mom … [Read more...]
No Need to Make Time for Myself
The title of this post may be a bit deceiving. Sympathetic mommies across the virtual world might be nodding their heads thinking how tough it is for a busy mom to find time alone. This, of course, is totally true. However, I feel that the tides have turned a bit for me and I am not sure I like … [Read more...]
Self Coaching For Mom
When my clients reach their fitness goals, I always tell them thank you for involving me in their success. Once committed to the outcome, anyone can reach their wellness goals. While I always celebrate my clients' achievements, I don't think I am the person responsible for their success. Nor do I … [Read more...]
Theft: A Love Story
I will confess from the beginning that I did not really like this book. It was the May choice for my book club, so I had to read it, and left to my own devices I may never have cracked the spine. Now, that is not to say this is a bad book. Many of the other members of my club did like it … [Read more...]

When Al Pacino utters this infamous cinematic line as Tony Montana, he is referring to the M16 rifle complete with grenade launcher that he uses to blast his way out of his office in the final scenes of Scarface. When I use it, I am referring to one of my new favourite finds: At first glance … [Read more...]
The Body Shop Rant
I first fell in love with the Strawberry Oil at the Body Shop. I used to wear it as perfume and I even ran into a boyfriend from university last fall that said that whenever he smells Strawberry he still thinks of me. One very hot summer day I decided it was too sweet and I went back and … [Read more...]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like….
So I have spent the whole day arranging for Christmas cards to be sent out (yes it is Dec 16 & half of my cards have to cross the border...wish me luck), because my husband guilted me into this after this year's group of cards started pouring in from all of our wonderful friends & relatives … [Read more...]
The Golden Compass
Have you seen The Golden Compass yet? What did you think? Have your say & rate it here! Well, you had to know I was going to go see this movie. We've already had a very lively discussion by our own Ali in her most recent Friday Hot Topics post, so I thought we could round … [Read more...]
Burning the Candle at Both Ends
My mother's favourite phrase when I was a teen was, "Stop burning the candle at both ends." Ironically, I had no idea what she was talking about. Literally...I did not know what the idiom meant. Now, as a mature adult, not only am I fully aware of the concept of burning the candle at … [Read more...]
