Read 6 tips to healthy skin and wearing SPF is one of them!

This article I recently wrote was just featured on the Not So Mumsy Blog, but it's an important topic so I felt inclined to share it on my own blog too! For all you mamas, please (please) take the time to read this article.

The one concern I hear most about revolves around the tummy area. Mothers often ask, “why do I still look 6 months pregnant?” or “I have a pooch that won’t go away” or “I just want my pre-baby tummy back”. The mommy tummy is actually a ‘thing’ and is likely a result of a condition called Diastasis Recti Abdominis.

Sometimes we all need a little retail therapy! I actually just discovered Designer Shoe Warehouse Kids is here in Canada and it’s changed how I shop for shoes forever. I’m sure you can agree that kids feet grow so darn fast that you end up buying so many shoes to keep up. We're off to Mexico tomorrow and I needed to get her new sandals and flip flops, so it was perfect timing that I found DSW!

I’m sure you’ve heard a thing or two about probiotics and if you heard right, then you know that these live bacteria and yeasts are beneficial to the human body, in particular for optimal gut health!          

The weekend’s coming to an end and I’m sure you enjoyed a lot of extra servings of ‘something something’ that might have you feeling slightly slower than usual on a Sunday evening. Whether it was brunch today or pizza for dinner last night, we’ve all been there. Weekend’s are often reserved for overeating because we tend to save “healthy eating” for Monday to Friday and go ham Saturday and Sunday.

We're just two weeks into the new year, so I hope some of your 2017 resolutions are still standing strong. Like many of us, I'm sure something about health and fitness is included as part of your list. One of my intentions this year is to try at least one new fitness class each month. And let's be honest, there is just something about wearing fresh new active gear that makes a workout that much better. 

As a mother, there are days where showers are missed and teeth go unbrushed. The norm for most mamas right? I have to say that showers are my “mommy time” and although rushed at times, a shower is where I can take a quick moment to breathe and relax (even if I hear my child screaming MOM for no reason whatsoever).  I need to remind myself that I won’t come out of the shower with something on fire!

The holidays always call for delicious desserts, but a lot can end up adding a little extra festive fluff to your waistline. With that said, we wanted to share our healthier, yet delicious peanut butter energy ball recipe that make a perfect addition to your holiday spread. Psst ... tell your mom's famous shortbread cookies to move over this year!! 

As you know, we make health a priority in our home, but I do emphasize the importance of the health of our Earth and all life on our beautiful planet! Our health truly does go beyond our household and as her mother I want raise a compassionate and caring child who not only wants to take care of herself, but also others (animals and our planet included)!

The holidays are officially upon us and aside from fighting off festive weight gain, the one other big concern is: Your Holiday Gift List!

Last month our family trip to Miami got cancelled due to concerns related to Hurricane Matthew. I was really looking forward to getting away, but that trip just wasn't in the cards. But I didn't give up ... I was determined to do something! The idea of a staycation intrigued me and now I can't wait to share my 44 hour experience at 44 Charles. 

A big thanks to MISSBISH for featuring last week on their FLEX ZONE series. I wanted to make sure I shared our interview in case you missed it. 

Healthy and sustainable weight loss happens over time and includes a wholesome eating regimen coupled with a consistent workout routine.

Everyone asks what you can do if you only have a week to get it together! I just shared these tips on the amazing Not So Mumsy Blog, but if you missed it here are the details!

Every day I try and be the best mom and role model to this little girl. She watches my every move and learns from the things I do. But I realize more and more that she's actually the one teaching me. Motherhood has changed me in so many incredible ways! Here are 7 things she has taught me and I'm a better person because of it!

We're back on the amazing Not So Mumsy blog talking about common fitness myths that need to be put to rest once and for all! Seriously almost every other week there is another weight-loss trend promising to get your mom butt in shape, so naturally it’s tough to know what actually works when it comes to becoming a healthier mama.

I am so proud of my mini and her very first TV appearance on Cityline. We had such a blast and I have to say I was probably more nervous than she was. Check out the segment here.

Cat's out of the bag! No Tummy Mommy has officially signed on to be a Karma Athletics Activist! If you haven't heard about this incredible line, then you are definitely missing out. 

I was asked this question last week and I had so much trouble answering it because my answer was wildly different than it was pre-motherhood. A few years ago I would’ve said a trip to Maldives coupled with a wardrobe of my dreams. Today, my answer is far from that.
