disclosure: from time to time I get to partner with an awesome brand and while Dr.Oetker is sponsoring me, all opinions and ideas are my own. When was the last time you were alone with your husband? Like really alone, for some one-on-one time. I can’t remember either. I feel like lately we’re on different schedules. The kids have been … Continue reading

I’m A Cheater With No Regrets
Yes, that’s right. I’m a cheater with no regrets. It’s time I come clean. Today, I’m vlogging (this is a fun one) about my sins and confessing to you and my husband about what I’ve done. I really don’t think I should have to take 100% of the blame here though. He’s partly to blame for all the times I’ve … Continue reading
Quinoa Veggie Taco Bowl
This is one of my favourite dinners. My Quinoa Veggie Taco Bowl was born out of a craving for tacos but not the meat or the shells. So on nights when the kids are having traditional tacos, I’ll whip this up for myself in a flash. It’s so quick and easy and cooks up in the time it takes for … Continue reading

I really needed a girls weekend away. I can’t even tell you how important it is for me to step away from my life, my kids, my to-do list and just spend some quality time with friends. So that’s what I did. 13 friends. 5 condos. 2 nights. 100’s of laughs. This is how to rock a girls weekend in … Continue reading
3 Ingredient Mounds Cookies
This isn’t a new recipe (thanks to my friend Jenny for this new favourite) but my version is nut-free and so darn easy to make. My recipe swaps sweetened coconut for unsweetened to cut down on the sugar and in my opinion, you’d never know the difference. They’re so fast and so easy and only need 3 ingredients that I … Continue reading
