Month 5! I thought Christmas was a tough month, but this month was pretty busy too! Coming down off of the Christmas craziness and bustle, we are straight into a month of birthdays, including my own! Every weekend we celebrated something, sometimes more than once! I stayed on the bandwagon with my workouts (completed all[…]

Tomorrow I turn 34. This is my year. Each year is my year, but now I truly feel I own it and I am in control. I’ve still got a few things I would like to accomplish before I turn 35, a self imposed goal marker, so this is my year to make it happen. I’ve[…]

Are you first aid qualified? Would you leave your kids in the care of someone who isn’t? Do you know how to react to a potential heart attack or stroke? We have partnered with Empire CPR to bring the Mom Cafe community a Red Cross certified first aid course in Oshawa. It is something I believe[…]

We are planning on celebrating the leap year by “leaping” at Sky Zone Trampoline Park Whitby! Have you tried this place of active fun!?! There is nothing like it in our community! It is an indoor trampoline park which takes family fun and fitness to a whole new level! On Monday February 29, from 5:30[…]

For the last few years we spend some time on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day putting together a list as a family. This list isn’t typical resolutions – like eat healthier, less take out, save money – but a list of things we would like to do during the year. In year’s past[…]
