See ya later 2015

This is not the post I ever would have imagined writing when 2015 started. I thought I would be writing about the mundane things I did this year and reflecting on what I can do better in 2016. No one could have predicted that my little, happy life would be shaken up like it was […]

Winter activities to do with your family

The snow has finally arrived in Toronto! Princess Peach couldn’t control herself when she saw the snow. She wanted to lick it, touch it, throw it, roll in it and kick it. It was so sweet and innocent watching how excited she was to see the snow. Usually I grumble and complain when I see […]

Passing on holiday traditions #PeaceOnEarth #PampersBabyPanel #giveaway

When I was a kid, I always looked forward to celebrating Chanukah. Every year we would gather at my Nana’s and she would have round laundry baskets filled with toys for me, my sister and my cousins. In the crazy days of Cabbage Patch dolls, my Nana even braved the crowds at Woolworths during a […]

Spreading holiday cheer with Koodo and Choir! Choir! Choir! #ChooseHappy

#ChooseHappy

What I find most heartwarming during the holidays are of the stories of people spreading holiday cheer and being kind to one another. I love to hear all about the random acts of kindness people do to make others happy during this time of year. It’s easy to get caught up in the gift giving aspect of […]

A holiday concert without holiday cheer

When I was younger I have fond memories of the holiday season at school being a very festive time. In kindergarten,  I remember having a pancake breakfast with Santa as well as frying latkes with parent volunteers. It’s where I, as an elementary student learned the words to Silent Night. We sang it one year […]

You can be anything with Barbie #playadvocate

Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up when you were a kid? What I had expected to become is far off from what I actually ended up doing. When I started University I planned on going to medical school to be a sports medicine specialist. I love sports and helping […]

My breast cancer story

I made a video about my experience with cancer. Please watch the video below. It says it all.  

Feel good about drinking coffee with GoJava recycling program

 I love coffee. I love brewing it at home, going to big coffee shops and small coffee shops a like. Right after having Little Dude, I was pretty much fueled by coffee. It was a bit crazy but me and coffee have a full on love-affair. I’ve also owned almost every possible coffee maker on […]

My kids say the darndest things about cancer

We’ve been very open (in an age appropriate way) with both Princess Peach and Little Dude about my cancer diagnosis and all of my treatments. They know that I had a boo-boo in my boob, that I had medicine (chemotherapy) to make mommy better and surgery to take the boo-boo out.  Although they don’t know […]
