BEST BEACH VACATION CLOSE TO HOME

As an avid Montrealer and a beach bumming enthusiast, I've always said that the only thing missing from Montreal is an ocean front. While not steps away from home but still relatively close, I’ve found my solution. Nestled between Lake Ontario and exit 566 off the 401, you will find Prince Edward County, home to...

DISCIPLINE OR DIVERSION?!?

My sister says babies are born yogis...I don't know, I've never seen a yogi jerk herself backwards into what looks like a convulsion because she can't watch Sesame Street during breakfast or throw her dinner plate on the floor because she's not allowed to use my steak knife as a teether. Temper tantrums don't seem... Continue Reading →

SANITY SESSIONS UPDATE

So one of my first posts was about adding some "Me Time" to my schedule and I must say that that I'm doing relatively well. About a month ago I "womened up" and bought 10 Hot Yoga passes at Cielo Studios which have definitely played an important role in fuelling my sanity sessions. It's a great place to... Continue Reading →

THE ZOMBIE TRAIN IS COMING…

…And I don’t want to get on. It brings with it a virus that turns you into a pawn. Some are immune, many are not. Succumbing to the outbreak, the infected you can spot. With dreary eyes and a blank expression. A mindless mass who have lost ambition. I call these bodies the working dead.... Continue Reading →

LAUGH LIKE YOU MEAN IT!

Two weeks ago my husband and I were given free tickets to one of the Just for Laughs comedy shows here in Montreal. The offer was last-minute and while my husband hesitated to say yes because such spontaneity lies outside of our daily norm, I jumped at the opportunity, quickly secured a babysitter and headed downtown. It was one... Continue Reading →

FAR FROM A PIECE OF CAKE

Motherhood isn't easy, anyone who says otherwise is either lying to you or to themselves or both. Sometimes being a mom even blows. It's the hard truth that doesn't take away from the love you have for your kid(s) nor does it make you less of a parent for feeling it. But let's be honest, life... Continue Reading →

DEAR UNDESIRABLE FRIEND…

I'm breaking up with you. Yes I have changed over the last year. Becoming a mom has slightly altered my being. I can no longer prioritize happy hour, Sunday brunches or phone calls listening to you complain about jerks and bosses. I need to strategically plan every free minute I have in order to optimize...

A LITTLE “ME TIME” PLEASE

A relationship coach introduced me to the notion of the 18 month postpartum disaster area coined by Dr. Perle Feldman. Apparently, breakups and divorce are common two years into the birth of a couple's first child. I get it, I really do. You've just spent the last year sleep deprived, your hormones are out of whack, the quest to breastfeed has left your breasts...lifeless, your clothes don't fit (at least not like they used to) so how are you supposed to still look at your husband with starry eyes and affection. But forget all of that, because if you’re really with the right person then whatever hurdles you are facing are as fixable as you want them to be. In my opinion, it’s the relationship you have with yourself that really takes a hit.
