Without a rolling introduction, I’m just going to get straight to the goods here. Because somewhere – and I’ve yet to have found one specifically like this – we mothers need a list like this.
One to refer to as often as need be. This motherhood journey is the hardest, most beautiful, nerve-wracking thing we’ll ever do. Now pour a cup of whatever you fancy and break off a hunk of dark chocolate from your fridge (I hope you always keep some on hand!) and wrap your brain and heart around each an...

I was pounding through the snow, foot to slush, heartbeat erratic, breath harsh and fast. Running from the thought of aging without healthful grace. Running from the thought of continuing to take my body, my vessel, for granted. Running from the thought of teaching my children, without even knowing it – that taking care of oneself is a chore.
It was during this winter run, when I brave the harsh elements, that my mind is awakened and un-distracted by the motherly duties of house and home. Whe...

I remember when I got my first point-and-shoot. It was a “fancy” Canon Elph and thus began my part-time love affair with photography. I suppose it’s fair to say that I’ve never really gotten into it fully, because as a creative, one has to put a limit on how many skills they try to master.

Make it a candy cane Christmas for your little ones with these melt-in-your-mouth, delicious peppermint meringue kisses! So easy to make the traditional way or sugar- and dye-free!
I’m all about giving my little ones lots of treats over the holidays, without the worry of loading them up on sugar. Plus, if we’re being honest here…I’m happy to eat treats that aren’t going to buzz my brain out and land directly on my posterior! How about you? Thought so. Now for that ridiculously easy recipe…
Wh...

A while back, I shared my personal thoughts and techniques/experiences on nurturing the mother-daughter relationship during the early years of motherhood.
I also have a little boy at home. My beliefs are mighty surrounding the notion that nurturing the bond between mothers and sons when they are babies and toddlers is integral to what kind of person they’ll grow up to be. Aside from the obvious reasons as to why a mother might examine and be thoughtful about how she develops a deep emotional ...

When I’m creating food in the kitchen, a heavy calm trickles over me. Whether it’s a planned meal or something I throw together in a mad dash, I derive great pleasure from rummaging and thinking about ingredients, washing and cutting, sautéing and layering flavours.
The most difficult part of my meal planning is coming up with nutritious meals to cook that my toddlers will actually eat. It’s always a toss up. One day I could serve them something I thought they loved, and the next day they won...
