Bran and date mini muffins #RicardoRecipes

Mornings during the week are rushed in our house. Although I always say I’m going to pack the kids backpacks the night before, I never do. So in the morning I’m gathering what everyone needs for school on that given day. Because of this my kids don’t get a June Cleaver breakfast during the week. […]

Life,interrupted

Two doctors have said these four words to me recently. Four quite simple words, but words that are extremely loaded. “Go live your life” Go live my life? What exactly does that mean? When every part of your being is thrust full-time into doctors appointments, and treatments being told when everything is done to “go […]

Donate money not a #NoHairSelfie

The last few days my Twitter feed and Facebook page have been abuzz with posts about #NoHairSelfie. What is that you may ask? February 4 is World Cancer Day and this #NoHairSelfie movement (if you can call it that) wants people to either shave off their hair so they are bald or take a picture […]

When a young mother receives a breast cancer diagnosis, her entire life changes in that very moment. Everything as she knows it will never, ever be the same. That mother will now have to add one more task to her daily to-do list; fighting cancer. There are so many resources out there and different organizations […]

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 […]
