MY March Break


Guess where I'm going next week???  Did the picture give it away?

Yay, I'm off to my favorite city!  And this little vacation couldn't come fast enough.

Adam has been away this week for work and its been a bit trying.  Every night he's been away, Little A has a big "I want daddy" fit before bed, which means she is NOT going to sleep and she is keeping Big A awake, which means long after the time I'd hoped not to see their faces again until morning, they keep coming out of there rooms making me feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole.

And, of course, even though there's been less time pressure in the mornings since they are on March break, I've been busy with work and they've found no end of ridiculous things to fight over.  Well, next week they are Adam's problem.  The only thing is, they LOVE when I go away, so he won't get any crying fits, in fact, I bet my name will barely be mentioned while I'm gone.  It's alright, I'm okay with not being appreciated.

If you think I'm kidding, I am totally not.  Big A actually said to me this morning, "You don't go away very often, we need a break." Yeah well, believe you me, I do too!  Little A did tell me that she loves me and will miss me and it might even be true, but I highly doubt she'll be having "I want mommy" meltdowns at bedtime for Adam like she's been doing for me this week.

So while it's party time for Adam and the girls, I will be visiting with family and enjoying the city.  I can't wait!  So I'll be gone next week and back with all sorts of stories and health tips the week of March 24th.  Stay healthy!

Book Review: The A to Z of Children's Health

Hey there, welcome to Monday!  We had a delightful, relatively quiet weekend.  How was yours?  Hopefully no one in your home was sick...there is a lot of nasty stuff going around these days. If you're a parent, than you have probably spent far more time that you would like to desperately searching Google and/or parenting books trying to figure out if your child's rash, cough or fever warrants a trip to the doctor or if there is something that can be done to treat it.  It's hard not to worry that it could be something more ominous that just an every day infection and while you'd make yourself (and everyone around you) nuts if you panicked every time your kid has the sniffles, as a parent, you naturally want to do everything in your power to prevent your child from harm. Recently I was sent The A to Z of Children's Health , written by doctors Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, and Norman Saunders, of Toronto's very own Hospital for Sick Children .  One of th

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste

Blackfly Coolers: Product Review

Summer is over! Well, at least if you're a student. Officially it doesn't end for a few weeks, and it certainly still feels like summer. Yeah, I hate it. This f*cking hot, humid weather needs to end NOW! We made the most of our last weekend of the summer with our annual trip to the CNE on Friday, with a crowd of friends. It wasn't unbearably lot, thank goodness, and the girls and their friends had a blast on the rides.  Saturday I had to work, and Sunday was errand day. Monday we took the girls berry/apple/pear picking but didn't last long due to the heat. I organized the house to prepare for the construction workers starting back up yesterday, while Adam took the girls for a swim in our neighbourhood pool. Yesterday was the first day of school. Grade 2 and Grade 5. Yep, the girls are growing up.  We are fortunate that the girls don't have much anxiety about school, they are so much more confident than I ever was as a kid! But now, in the midst of our reno ch
