Last year, I wrote this post in honour of International Women’s Day to remind women everywhere that we need to give ourselves permission… I actually re-read this post from time to time to remind myself that “It’s O.K.”. I have even tweeted it out during the year as a little reminder. Well, in honour of [...]

As I took my shower Friday Morning (Feb 1st) I reflected about the small & large achievements of a very busy month: Try a Zumba Class- Check!

I hope that you’ll forgive me as today’s post takes me away from my usual banter of parenting, recipes and work-life balance. Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. Yom Hashoah. I would like to ‘take a moment’ by using this space differently than I would on any other day. I will use this space today in [...]
