Oh my god. Today was tough. Not in any real sense of hardship, but tough in that “dragging myself out of bed and out the door” kind of way. The reason? I’d been totally off schedule for the last week. I just got back from an incredible cottage stay: late nights, late mornings, day drinking, […]

Why You Should Always Go All In The day I brought my son Jack home from the hospital, I was a total disaster. It had been a natural home birth ? turned hospital birth (complete with four failed epidurals) ? turned emergency C-section. By the time my then-husband tucked me and baby Jack into bed, […]

So, on Monday morning, I had a conversation with a longtime friend and coach, Stacy. She’s my person when I need a reset. We were chatting about following through on things and she mentioned she’d just done a fast, and I was curious. She offered to send me a video that explained why she does it, […]

How a Little Bit of Brave Creates Generational Confidence… This past weekend, I took my son Jack on a little Mommy/Baby overnight adventure to Elora. Yes, he’s 14, but our outings will always carry the “Mommy/Baby” brand – I only infantilize him in the marketing, not in real life. Chad was away on business and […]

so, i know that when i die and go to heaven – my version of heaven will be me in a super cute cafe, with headphones on, in front of a laptop learning some new software, using it to do something creative. this is my more than happy place. the feeling i love the very […]

oh yeah baby! it’s official – after 4 years of riding, multiple licenses, test and courses i officially have my full m (motorcycle) license. to be honest it doesn’t change anything for me from the last license – with this full m you can now drink alcohol and take drugs(?) and carry passengers. both of […]

this weekend i got to go to the fogo island inn with a group of friends and fam for my future brother in laws surprise birthday. i’ve heard the fan fare of fogo for years now. and it’s been on my bucket list – not necessarily because it looked so enticing – to be honest […]

the other day i decided that i should go swimming at 5:30 in the morning. let me first say 100% of this sounded like an awful idea. it’s dead of winter, i’m off my early morning schedule and the idea of getting up in pitch black to get into a cold pool and do cardio […]
