I was at Mom’s Morning Out on Thursday – it’s a group at Valley Church where moms can go and have their kids looked after while they get a chance to sit with other moms, have a coffee and a snack and talk about various topics of interest. Thursday we watched a short video about [ READ MORE ]
When I was growing up I was never an athletic kid. Sure, I tried every sport under the sun – my parents saw to it that I was well-rounded that way – but I never found anything I excelled at. It was only in my adulthood that I began to seek out ways to be active [ READ MORE ]
Today I was reading Amber Strocel’s post on Re-evaluating Your Dreams and Desires and it got me thinking. I wrote in my last post that I’m turning over a new leaf this year; that I’ve decided to focus my efforts on things I have always wanted to do but never have instead of on things [ READ MORE ]
Here we are at the start of a new year… a new decade… a new era… and a new blog theme. The Olympics are coming to Vancouver; I have a brand new baby boy; I’ve just begun a year without my day job and I feel like I’m poised on the edge of a cliff, waiting [ READ MORE ]
Are you like me? Do you have a favourite little ritual that feels indulgent? Years ago, before I got married and started my family I used to enjoy taking bubble baths.

I’m not very good at failing. I take it really hard. Tonight, though, my attempt at the Master Cleanse has come to an abrupt end due to a personal situation that has caused me too much stress… adding this cleanse just makes it worse. I didn’t get off to a good start with it – having [ READ MORE ]
Good morning! Well, um, at least it is now… it’s been a bit of a rough start this morning. Now that I’m sitting comfortably, I can tell the story of yesterday a little. If you have no interest in hearing about this cleansing process I apologize, please feel free to skip to another post. Day 1 [ READ MORE ]
So as I wrote before, I completed a week of Re-Cleanse last week as a lead up to the Master Cleanse. I ended up basically finishing the cleanse Friday night, because yesterday was a bit of a free for all… I still ate really scarcely in the morning and mid day, but we decided to [ READ MORE ]
