Healthy Chocolate Monkey Pie

Healthy Chocolate Monkey Pie

“Oh, I’m going to pass on dessert. I’m trying to cut back.” It’s a common phrase I hear often. Far too often. Because, well, dessert is awesome. And life is short. So why pass on the sweet stuff? Instead of giving up the final course of a meal, here’s a better idea: choose a healthier… [Read More]

Healthy Easter Brunch Ideas

With Easter quickly approaching (how did that happen?), we’ve started deciding on our Easter brunch menu. It will be a vegetarian affair and we’re planning on eating a lot of delicious food. Sometimes I think people don’t believe that the words delicious and healthy can be synonymous, but, my friends, they definitely can. Even when we’re… [Read More]

Going Green on a Budget

You want to become more green. You love the idea of being an eco-friendly family. But you’re overwhelmed. You don’t know where to start, what changes to make, how to go about making these changes.

Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie

Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie

Blueberries. Smoothies. Cheesecake. Three of my favourite things. The first two are healthy. The third? Well, not so much. But, everything in moderation, right? I’ve also been experimenting with making some awesome raw and vegan cheesecakes, and I have to say, they are delicious! But still, I have to admit, nothing can beat the real… [Read More]

Essential Breast Pumping Tips

Essential Breast Pumping Tips

Breastfeeding is amazing, convenient and an awesome way to connect with your babe. It’s also challenging. Breastfeeding can be exhausting (especially when the all-night milk bar is open), it can be inconvenient (like when you’re working or have somewhere you’d like to be sans baby), and it can be hard. Really, really hard. Being able to… [Read More]

10 Things to do to Help Bees

Bees are a major vital part of our eco-system. I know I’m not alone in wondering how to help save bees. They play a huge role in our eco-system and food chain and are responsible for pollinating SO many of our food plants. It’s been estimated that 1/3 of our food is thanks to the… [Read More]

Clementine Cream Smoothie (Vegan)

Clementine Cream Smoothie (Vegan)

So, it’s the middle of winter here, but the weather has been strange…very strange. Last year at this time, we were locked down in what felt like the deep freeze of the century, with temperatures and the windchill so cold that your fingers would freeze within seconds of going outside if they weren’t covered up…. [Read More]

Making Time for Mom

Alone time. What’s that? If you’re a mom, you’re quite possible in the same boat as me. Some days, okay, most days, I feel like my needs come last in the whole scheme of things. From the second our eyes open in the morning, it’s all about the kids. Getting everyone changed and fed, answering 800… [Read More]
